Looking at how the GOP has acted over the past 6+ weeks, it seems to me the party was TOTALLY unprepared for a Republican presidential defeat. It's increasingly clear that they have NO grand strategy on how to hand the current financial situation.
My guess is they figured everything would all be shelved once the GOP regained the White House & Senate. Losing the presidential election, not regaining the Senate, losing seats in both the House & the Senate seems to have left them flummoxed on what to do next.
They can blame the president & the Democratic Senate as much as they want, but - finally - the majority of Americans aren't buying the baloney that the Republicans are blameless in the current fiscal fiasco.
Cannot imagine what a rude awakening it will be when they finally realize that this is NOT a nightmare, that President Obama DID win reelection with a decisive victory, that Americans seem to LIKE what he is doing more than the alternatives offered by the GOP. It's been almost two months, yet GOP leaders still act as if this will all go away. They aren't grieving because the party remains stuck at denial.
It's no theory that what I said months & months ago is still true today - craziest election ever!
