He--and republicans--should be. And Newt actually knows how to solve it. Just like he did in 1994. Put together a set of principles that republicans stand for, and hold every candidate's feet to the fire to run on them. Otherwise it just becomes a series of personality contests, and the media will do enough to see that democrats win most of those.

So WTF do republicans stand for? Based on the last ten or twenty years or so, I don't have much of a clue. I know they hate abortion and they are okay with fighting endless no-win wars in the Middle East. And I know they are not for a balanced budget or fixing the clusterflock that is Obamacare. So who are they, and what do they stand for, except being "democrats lite," and why should I vote for them?

Being not as bad as the democrats is still bad. And that is not good enough.
