” The GOP was out of power for decades, and when they got it back, they didn’t know how to handle it, “

I absolutely refuse to believe this BULL. My local Texas House member is a committee chair. He is in a very conservative House district. Yet he has a NEGATIVE Madison index. The man is a self aggrandizing RINO

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me

What I meant by the GOP not knowing how to use the power, once it had it, was that it did very little to advance the general principles it claimed and ran on. Less intrusive government, less spending, etc.

But I see your point. They do know how to use their power to advance their self-interests.
