    There are very few 'Rockefeller Republicans' left. Today's divide is mostly about conservatives who believe in governing vs those who don't.

        @mattklewis BS. Today's divide is between big government Republicans who bow to the Chamber of Commerce and K Street vs. the grassroots.

        @mattklewis Many in both factions erroneously equate an arguments over tactics as an argument over ideology.

        @mattklewis Today's Conservatives are not interested in Republicans who get their marching orders from K Street.

        @mattklewis I love how it's governing when Democrats want their agenda passed but its democracy when you Dems fight the conservative agenda.

        @mattklewis @MaxBoot So fight today is between those who want reform and change things and those who just want to continue being contrarian.

        @mattklewis Nobody's looking for a Rockefeller Republican today, but it would be nice if there weren't so many craving anger & chaos.

        @mattklewis @Jamie_Weinstein Dismissing the Freedom Caucus (ca. 17% of House GOPers) doesn't strike me the best party-unifying tactic. #tcot

        @mattklewis Governing does not have to mean increasing debt and deficits. The GOPe has no courage behind its so-called Conserv. convictions.

        @mattklewis @MaxBoot Today our coalition resembles the era before the New Deal. This means we have to actually govern & rep people.

        @mattklewis @MaxBoot For many yrs it was ok to be contrarian, there was nothing at stake. Even GOP Presidents had to deal w Dem Congress.

        @mattklewis @MaxBoot The key is that GOP have largest active coalition since 1920s before we collapsed when Roosevelt New Deal.
