Of course, "we won" is not a hard-line stance. Republicans can sit in the back of the bus doesn't signal a hard-line stance.

Its only Republicans who get accused of having a “hard line” when they win a majority. When Democrats do it, its called being “inclusive” and bringing about “hope and change.”

MSM, we’re onto you!

The problem for Republicans traditionally is that when they win elections they buy into all this establishment/media bs that voters weren’t really saying much of anything. When Democrats win elections they take the ball and run with it!
