Will The GOP Fold Or Fight?
Will The GOP Fold Or Fight? |
The meaning of the 2014 election, as Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) claimed, is that voters really want Republicans to cooperate with President Obama. If that's the case, we're off to a really bad start. (See next item.)
Others like Jeb Bush and defeated former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor say the party should ignore the small, but vocal minority of conservatives who just want to fight about everything. Usually that means they should fold and stop fighting on issues like Obamacare, traditional marriage, the sanctity of life and illegal immigration.
On the issue of illegal immigration, which House Republicans may address next week, there is evidence that the "small, angry crowd" might in fact be a lot bigger than the establishment chooses to admit. Consider these findings from a recent poll of registered Republicans:
- 82% of Republicans oppose President Obama's executive amnesty for illegal immigrants. Just 14% of Republicans support it.
- 71% of Republicans want Congress to pass laws stopping Obama's amnesty, including cutting off funding for it.
