And that worked out fine. It drove the party to the right again a led to election of GWB. Unfortunately, we just thought GWB was conservative.
In any event, the republican congress forced Clinton to govern as a relative spendthrift and things worked out fine. With a democrat in the whitehouse, the GOP congress actually scrutinized spending bills - with a Republican in the whitehouse they just rubberstamp them.
The party becoming weaker is not a bad thing if it is headed in the wrong direction.
Yeah...........I suppose so.
I see a weak fiscal side, but that is about it. That would be easy to fix, but you don't blow the party up to do it. Sorta non productive I would think.
