Excellent article from Daniel Horowitz (policy director for the Madison Project) Is it enough to merely win back a slight Senate majority in 2014? Will this really produce better results for conservatives, against a filibuster-strong Democrat minority? No, it isn’t enough, and it won’t be any better -- “The only way to build an enduring majority is to elect game-changing conservatives, especially in our most conservative states, to join the ranks of the few unwavering fighters.” Right now, our Senate Republican leaders refuse “to whip for the conservative position, leaving conservatives with no leverage or power,” thus “Democrats enjoy a defacto 75-80 seat-governing majority on many critical issues.” They refuse to use our filibuster-strong minority, and too many Senate Republicans “give ‘aid and comfort’ to Democrats on an array of liberal priorities.” While Senate Democrats – even the ones from red states - almost never cross party lines to stand against their leadership, “roughly half of the GOP conference could be counted on to join the united Democrat caucus on many major policy issues.”
