I JUST REALIZED THAT IT’S BEEN OVER TEN YEARS since my 2006 GOP “Pre-Mortem.” What lessons have been learned in the interim?

These comments from Brad Wardell about the 2006 GOP leadership still have some resonance: “You can’t have it both ways. You can’t say that it’s a matter of life and death for the Republicans to maintain control and yet treat the actual job so casually while in office. If the free world hangs in the balance, then bloody act like that during your term and not just in the 60 days before re-election.”

That’s been the problem since 2010, too.
