1. The GOP has boxed itself

in to such a tight space that they cannot offer any new ideas. That's why they keep regurgitating the same talking points again and again. They've gone full derp on every item and making any changes would destroy the very singular "asset" of theirs, which is consistency.

It's like hardline religious people who are fulled wedded to their bible or koran or what have you. Once new information comes out the refutes claims made in the bible, or situations occur that isn't described or addressed in the bible, they can't adapt to the new situation and revert back to closing their eyes, ears, nose, mouths and brain to stay back on their own safe turf of fantasy life.
