If they had any sense at all, they would jettison the Tea Party nuts that dragged them so far off the right wing cliff that they lost basic credibility. I remember the first big point of the Tea Party was that the government should balance their budget like a family of five. From that point on I knew they were to intellectually vacuous to have a serious conversation -- period. You saw this past week the vast majority of the Tea Baggers get the boot from the American people. The mouthpieces for the GOP however think that Romney was not conservative enough! They want to double down in 2016 with someone more extreme! Good luck with that strategy. The Republicans have two years to figure out that their brand is running out. If they do not come to the table and work with the President they will lose the House in 2014, guaranteed. It starts with giving up the narratives that have failed for too long now. Stop insisting that billionaires are the job creators and get their tax rates back up to the Clinton-era levels. Stop following the lead of people who clearly think that Fox News is actually fair and balanced. You cannot continue to re-create reality and think it will all be ok. This isn't a game. This election was not even close. It was an electoral landslide. Obama won every single swing state. This despite many attempts to disenfranchise democratic voters. If the GOP keeps following the Hannity's of the world, insisting that they need a more extreme voice, and refusing to change the obviously false narrative then they will go the way of the dodo. There are no "takers" in this country. There are only makers and fakers and this past week proves that
Your move Grover.
