The GOP is split between people who want to surrender and people who want to fight indiscriminately. Needs people who'll fight intelligently
@jimantle True, but much of what Republicans complain about were sins committed a decade ago by people who are no longer in Washington.

@mattklewis More importantly, there is no countervailing narrative to build conservative trust. There's Reagan & that's it. -
@jimantle And don't forget, George Will and Howard Phillips criticized Reagan for not being sufficiently conservative. -
@mattklewis In some ways he wasn't. But if you are looking for nat'l conservative governing success on par with post-New Deal libs...

@mattklewis@jimantle True. But the way to regain trust isn't "How dare you people not trust me!" May be correct, but won't solve problem. -
@FormerDeminTX

@mattklewis@jimantle I read a blog post today complaining about Tom Delay, No Child Left Behind and Medicare Part D. I get it, but still. -
@earldean71@jimantle Exactly what I mean about a decade ago. -
@mattklewis@jimantle I get that those were major compromises for the right, but more the peculiar dynamics of Bush presidency than DC GOP.
