“We are going over the falls. They do enough polling to know what their constituents want and if they don’t have an agenda by now, we are all screwed.”
Let me preface this by saying that I am no friend of the GOP. However, I think their failure to articulate an alternative plan is probably smart under the circumstances. The Democrats OWN this. Let them defend it.
By articulating a bold policy at this point, all the GOP does is open itself to attack. And the Democrats have an incredible attack apparatus at their disposal.
While I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see that the GOP is simply being incompetent, I have to admit that this looks more like a stonewalling strategy.
Or as Rush has often pointed out; when your opposition is saying or doing something dumb, often the best thing is to step back and let them.

Short term scandal, three day news cycle, fine.
Not when it comes to how you are going to govern. The RNC and the Party in general has SUCKED at getting any coherent message out. SUCKED.
Your car breaks down.
Guy pulls over to offer help.
Guy says he can fix it for you.
You ask if he’s a mechanic.
He says he is, but you don’t know for sure.
You ask does he have tools.
He says no.
You ask how he intends to fix the car.
He doesn’t know, but he is better than no one, right?
No, he’s not better than no one.
Suppose he pops the hood and screws up the engine even worse?
Why do you need him? You are already screwed and he MIGHT be able to help?
I would thank him and send him on his way.
