The GOP peaked on Nov. 4 this year, then promptly surrendered. It’s all downhill from here. I won’t vote for another R for some time. Perhaps when they actually find spines I’ll consider it again. For now, however, I’m done.

The more they win the more thy act like losers

Perhaps when they actually find spines I’ll consider it again.

Rest assured, that moment will never come. Political courage is not their forte.

The GOP has a permanent mentality of defeat that is deeply embedded in the party’s DNA. They would rather switch than fight.

Political spines are mostly Presidential equipment because action and energy are executive virtues. In contrast, the primary task of Congressional leaders is to keep their caucus members together and satisfied. Sparring with the President a secondary concern.

Will Republicans put up a strong leader as their Presidential candidate in 2016? In 1980, in selecting a Presidential candidate, the Republican electorate rejected timidity and chose the bold vision and strong leadership offered by Ronald Reagan. In 2016, rank and file Republicans will have the choice of one more candidates of similar mettle. My guess is that we will pick someone like Reagan.
