In a recent commentary, former Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. exhorted Republican candidates not to whine about the allegedly liberal media ("How Republicans win in 2016," Nov. 25).

Republicans make themselves easy to beat
I would like to thank Bob Ehrlich for clarifying what it takes to be a conservative in the Republican Party ("A platform for the next Republican nominee," Nov. 18).
