WASHINGTON – It has become conventional wisdom that Republicans are suffering an internal split that President Obama is successfully exploiting to neuter the Republican House. It is not true, however, that the Republican split is philosophical and fundamental. And that a hopelessly divided GOP is therefore headed for decline, perhaps irrelevance.

 

In fact, the split is tactical, not philosophical; short-term, not fundamental. And therefore quite solvable.

In reality, Republicans have a broad consensus on program and policy. But they don't have the power. What divides Republicans today is a straightforward tactical question: Can you govern from one house of Congress? Should you even try?

Right now I just want to see them actually fight. Barack Obama and the Democrats in Congress are a walking talking teachable moment...Use it!
