The one where Newt Gingrich tells the rest of the GOP just how they f***ed up the last 14 years:
Okay, back to the past. What happened to your party over the last eight years?
They went off the rails. That’s it. They took a majority that took 16 years to build and they destroyed it.How?
There was a fundamental misunderstanding about how to govern. The concept of red versus blue is a tactic, not a strategy. In the long run, in order to mobilize your base, you tend to become more intense and your positions become more vitriolic, and you drive away the independents. Then you are no longer a majority.
And that, my friends, is why the Republicans lost Congress in 2006, and why they’ll be lucky to hold on to the seats they have in Congress in 2008.
