A new strategy for the GOP

It has become conventional wisdom that Republicans are suffering an internal split that President Obama is successfully exploiting to neuter the Republican House. It is not true, however, that the Republican split is philosophical and fundamental. And that a hopelessly divided GOP is therefore headed for decline, perhaps irrelevance.

In fact, the split is tactical, not philosophical; short-term, not fundamental. And therefore quite solvable.

How do we know? Simple thought experiment: Imagine that we had a Republican president. Would the party be deeply divided over policy, at war with itself in Congress? Not at all. It would be rallying around something like the Paul Ryan budget that twice passed the House with near 100 percent GOP unanimity.

In reality, Republicans have a broad consensus on what they believe, where want to go and the program to get them there. But they don’t have the power. What divides Republicans today is a straightforward tactical question: Can you govern from one house of Congress? Should you even try?

3. "If your conservative philosophy is indeed right, winning will come."

So his advice is:
Just keep going.
Don't change.
Block everything.
Blaming republicans for bad outcomes is unfair.
Maybe we will win next time.

Thank goodness at least one of them escaped the crushing weight of self-importance to become a human being! I even forgive him for 13 Ghosts!

Charles...poor pathetically confused RWing moran, things must look dark and gloomy to the idiots that live totally detached from reality. I hope he doesn't remain sadz, that would make me all
