The left has made it all about identity politics, and a lot of women voted for Obama yet again. “Looks like me” and “understands me” are two VERY important criteria for so-called minority low-info voters, who make up the large majority of the electorate.

Any Speaker who will allow the conservative majority of our caucus to win it’s fair share of fights is all we need.
It’s Boehner’s tactic of letting the conservatives vote against bad Democrat bills that will pass anyway that is demoralizing and destroying the Party.
