The republicans seem unable to define their issues, they continually allow the democrats to demonize them and let the charges go unanswered effectively. The republicans do the right thing, but just are not articulate enough to say so.
The MSM comes to mind....
"The republicans do the right thing, but just are not articulate enough to say so."
They lost the both houses because they don't do the right thing. They have become liberals. They're fumbling now to "redefine" themselves the same way liberals do when they lose power. That means a departure from the conservative principles that got them elected in the first place.
