As a public speaker, I have the opportunity to spend a lot of time with various political clubs, groups and organizations. When it comes to the question and answer portion after my U.S. Constitution presentations, the most common question I get is, "Why don't the Republicans fight harder?"
I tell the audience there are three possible answers. Either the GOP is too fearful. The GOP is ignorant. Or, the GOP is a part of the problem.
It may be a little bit of all of them.
