Frankly, my opinion is that Sowell is suffering from a bad case of "GOPe Status Quo."
It pretty much makes me put him in the same column as a lot of other pundits from whom I really am not inclined to take any advice or counsel.
His fear is that the GOPe status quo will become the Democrate status quo, as in a rerun of 2008, after which the Dems ram through yet an Obamacare equivalent for a different sector of the economy.
