I heard Newt, on Morning Joe this morning, talking about how wrong he, Karl Rove and Michael Barone were on who would win the election. He is going to do a personal study which will take 4 to 6 months. My answer to him is that they couldn't see, through their partisan eyes, what those of us saw who were not partisans - an untrustworthy candidate. 3 million Republicans stayed home.
Why don't you focus on how you can fix this in the Republican Party:
I am sick of hearing what Obama did or is gong to do. I want to hear how the Republicans are going to re-brand themselves, if they can. |
Rebranding is the last thing the House needs to focus on. They need to legislate. they need to help craft the agenda. Successful years like Reagan's presidency and Clinton's presidency featured a president working with the opposition to get things done and build a solid economy. The House needs to lay the groundwork for that kind of work. But they need to be proactive and help set the agenda and not let the liberals do all of the pushing.
