Why is there a section of the GOP/conservative moment that enjoys being out of power? I can't see why people would rather have nothing if they can't have everything.

Why is there a section of the GOP/conservative moment that enjoys being out of power? That's an excellent point. When you belong to a political party that supports principles that are well-founded in logic, reason, and Constitutional law, it is much easier to function in an opposition role than in a governing one -- because these principles are self-evident and easily defended. There wasn't a more "conservative" era in modern GOP history than the two-year period from 1993-94 when the Democrats controlled the White House and both houses of Congress.
