I have to disagree. The GOPe is NOT losing. The GOPe wants largely the same things as the Democrats, and they’re working together to achieve those things, like amnesty. Granted. The GOPe might prefer to be the majority party, but most of them are quite content to go along with the Democrats. After all, someone like McCain only needs to briefly play a conservative every six years, then it’s back to DC in his role as a senator, aka aristocrat, for life. As far as he’s concerned, President Obama and Harry Reid are probably easier to work with than the conservatives in his own party.
“Granted. The GOPe might prefer to be the majority party,”
I doubt it. In fact, I’d even say the GOPe actually prefers to be the minority party. It takes nothing away from their wealth and status, but spares them the need to propose any new plans and take the lead on anything. That suits the spineless and unprincipled GOPe just fine, not to mention they can easily blame their failures on their minority status.
