What a load of bilge. You want to know why the GOP lost last November, you panty-waist? They lost because the did nothing they were elected to do. They spent like Democrats. They pandered like Democrats. They let the minority party control the debates. They collaborated with the Democrats on legislation. They assaulted our basic liberties (CFR). They pissed and moaned about the border and then, rather than enforce basic existing laws of sovereignty, passed an eleventh-hour fence bill that no one expected to be built... and we were right!

They didn't lose because they took a tough stance on the border, they lost because they took a too-little, too-late position on everything--including the border! They lost because they governed as Democrat-lite! They lost because their base didn't see any difference in their choices.

Note to GOP candidates: When you get elected to do something... DO IT!

I think they lost because of the so-called "new tone."
