these people exist alternative universe. Ignore all the fact, and just constantly spin for the left. McDaniel won the primary and then got hosed in the runoff through a despicable race-bating, pay-for-votes scheme. He’s just a ‘failed’ candidate when you leave out what actually happened.
Blah, blah, blah. The GOPe doesn’t want us around. We get it.
The headline reflects the yacht racing mentality of politics. Never go off on your own tack. Stick close to the opponent. It may be the best chance in yacht racing, but the Republicans are not going to cover the Democrat’s breeze.
Don’t you love getting advice from the enemy? You just now they have our best interests at heart, right?

Shocked the PDS Brigade here hasn’t launched their volley yet. Of course most seem tied up on impeachhment threads not of the Palin variety opposing it there.
Funny how its most often the same people isn’t it?
The big Romneybots/anti fencers/immigration moderates/anti impeachers and PDSers...all one big happy family.
Always opposite of the FR position on things...But don’t dare question their conservatism.
I’ll bet Gerson stays awake all night worrying about the GOP’s chances in November! Nah.
The GOP, and only the GOP, can hurt their chances for a landslide victory in Congress this year.
And you can be sure they’re making every effort to do just that...

For the simple reason, Mr. Gerson, that those who talk of incrementalism or compromise are seeking to drain the swamp of liberalism with a teacup.
It is because incrementalism and compromise are what got us where we are -- on the verge of a fascist state. And if you have no problem with where we are, then you are part of the problem.
I’m expecting voter fraud to be ten times worse in November than it was in 2012. The commie ‘RATS can’t allow the GOP to take over both the House and the Senate. Too many ‘RATS would be finding their asses in prison.
I care about America's chances.
The GOP wants to lose, if the GOP loses they can always blame the tea party, if the GOP wins they can also lukewarmly thank / backhanded insult the tea party.
The GOP isn’t acting very conservative or patriotic as of late. I think Obama asked for 4 billion instead of the 2.4 billion he originally asked for on the border crisis so he could stuff pockets. The GOP seems to have turned tail and given in to his demands and that could explain a lot. I think the taxpayers are getting raped like they’ve never been raped in history.
Incorrect headline. Try this:
GOP spoiling chances by turning on its base
Hahahahahhaha! The GOPe got almost ALL their hack candidates, and they still think they can blame us? Laughable.
“The tea party temperament is often accompanied by an easily reducible political theory. “The word ‘education,’ “ McDaniel has argued, “is not in the Constitution. Because the word is not in the Constitution, it’s none of their [the federal government’s] business.” Neither are the phrases “health care,” “retirement assistance,” “disaster relief,” “food safety” or “cancer research.” And there goes much of the modern state. “
Gerson is such a rube. MCDANIEL’S POINT IS THE FOUNDERS WOULD NOT APPROVE OF THE MODERN STATE!
Michael Gerson, GOP-e.
Lefty boiler-plate.
One wonders if Reggie Love is teaching DC classes in Das ObamaSplootGeschlurping?
“A party that is genuinely excited about conservative anti-poverty proposals, the child tax credit and other reforms - rather than impeachment and the abolition of modern government - might even be judged worthy of the presidency.”
...Child tax credit and other reforms... Yawn.
The only people “genuinely excited” by that just passed out from having 4 glasses of wine at a DC cocktail party.
