Product differentiation is always a good idea, and is especially so for the GOP “brand” right now.
Democrats, regardless of their claims to the contrary, will share no credit for anything that goes right. They’re only looking to hedge their bets — by enlisting Republican support for blame-sharing (should things go wrong).
“Bi-partisanship” (read: capitulation) on the part of the GOP contains no upside. If Dem policies fail (as seems likely), better for GOP to be on the record as having opposed them.
