” Instead the R party acts like a undisciplined gang of individuals who stumble around and look like fools, like the partner that always gets slapped around in the comedy team. “
I think the main problem is a split party...the GOPe, and the conservatives. Our party is splintered like never before.
...With no commonly accepted leader.
If the objective is to be in the minority outside of the WH and just block things , as 2009 to 2010, it works pretty good. In fact Dems approval tanked.
But if the goal is to get the voters to put your party in charge and the other in the minority because they think you can run things then it doesnt work so well.
Also this party has this strange ritual of nominating these lib/mod establishment candidates (Romney/McCain) after they spend months making believe they are someone else. Another feature of the fractured party.
