I’ve seen this play before. Newt Gingrich did the same thing in DC 15 years ago. He never recovered, nor did the Republican Party as an actually fiscally conservative entity.
North Carolina Republicans are about to go through exactly the same process. Their tiny, measured steps toward limited government will soon be swamped because — at heart — Tillis et al really have no principled governing philosophy.
