I just don’t understand it. They performed so much better when they had no majorities. Now they are so fearful of losing power that they wont use the power they have to push the agenda they claimed they supported. Then they do have the will to fight their own base in favor of outright corporatism? There is indeed something rotten not just in the leadership but in a huge part of the GOP conference.
I think they have taken that old adage, Never interfere with an enemy when he is in the process of destroying himself, to a ridiculous level. They didn’t win in 2014. I have read it was the lowest voter turnout in 70 years, but the people that turned out were angry at Democrats. They know Obama continues to rule against the will of the people, so they are happy to keep their heads down, and let the Democrats reap what they have sown. This strategy has some validity, but I think they have reached the point where hiding their heads in the sand is viewed with the same disdain as ruling against the people. Problem is, they are still of the mind they should just keep their heads down.
