| You know this kinda thing happens when you get your ass kicked in congress. Party has to make changes and re-invent themselves. Think about Congress in 1994 - the democrat got their butt kicked and had to "re-invent" themselves, and had the same problems the republicans are having now.
In fact, the "re-inventing" of the republicans started in 2006, they have just been slack as shit and doing a poor job of actually doing it. |
