Leadership requires compromise…and with a narrow majority requires more compromise.
Have the presidency and a narrow margin -- need a bigger margin.
Have a large margin and not the presidency -- need the presidency
Have no margin and no presidency -- need the presidency and a majorty
Have no houses -- need at least one house.
Have one house and not the other -- need both houses.
Have the presidency and no houses -- need one house
Have the presidency and one house -- need both houses.
Have everything -- wait until after the election.
It's a never ending stream of fricking excuses. Anyone who claims "leadership" in this thread is a fricking joke. These people do not want to lead. They will do everything they can to not lead. They actually prefer to not have power, because it lets them off the hook for having to do anything.

Because they're failing at the most important thing: winning elections nationally.

Who's been in charge of this party?
Why are we recycling failed leadership?

This is a fair criticism of the right, but I'm not sure there isn't a fundamental structural advantage that just can't be overcome. Government programs are 10 times harder to get rid of than they are to start. All the left has to do is keep clicking the ratchet and take baby steps that are close to impossible to reverse, and they have the advantage of selling populist bullshite that will ensure their grip on power.
That doesn't mean the right doesn't shite the bed and blame it on the dog, because they do, but the nature of the game puts them in constant defense. I don't think we'll ever see the federal government shrink, it'll just grow until we reach a crisis.
