Only because they can rely upon their tame mouthpieces among the "pseudo Conservatives" who will ignore what ever the Democrats are planning or doing now so they can continue to whine and scream about what the Republicans did not do back when.
Going to be a great election year for us when 20% of our side would rather continually snipe our own in the back for their minor short comings then ever have to quit whining and fight the Democrats on anything.
In case you forgot we did fight, and we won. And what we got for our efforts was a bunch of bindelstiffs who spent their way right back into the minority.
