The Democratic Party’s brand is in the toilet. From managing the economy, to the preservation of national security and American’s constitutional rights, to whatever voters define as “the most important problem” facing the country, Republicans own the issues foremost on the public’s mind. Dissatisfaction with the unpopular Democratic president is so palpable that it’s not uncommon to encounter it in the streets and in casual conversation. The GOP should be well positioned to clean up at the ballot box. And yet, on Tuesday night, Republican candidates turned in yet another underwhelming performance.
But for true patriots, there is a bright side to the GOP’s losses: The off-year election results provide yet another demonstration of the Republican Party’s absolute commitment to The Fight, no matter the cost. Indeed, Republicans are prepared to lose, over and over and over, rather than rethink their current track. You have to admire this kind of resolve.
