David Harsanyi thinks so, saying that election-day losses for Republicans would be like “creative destruction” for the party.

I tend to agree, and have been saying as much since around the time Fred Thompson dropped out of the race.  The problem with the GOP right now is that the American people don’t trust Republicans.  When a person goes to the ballot box they like to know what they’re going to get from a certain candidate.  Right now Republicans say one thing and then do another.

As long as that keeps happening, Republicans are going to keep losing.  If they lose often enough, maybe they’ll regroup and get back to basics.
