The Republican party is not perfect, but if you put this party's record of achievements on one side of a balance scale and the Democrat's record on the other, the Republican side would slam the table.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think the best thing that can happen to the Republican Party is that it is identified as a party organized around a set of principles, ideals and ideas for our future.
I think more so than the Republican Party, we reflect America on the Democratic side of the aisle, and that's a healthy thing. I mean, that's what democracy is all about.
The Republican Party is a composition of the members of the party and not just the leadership.
The Republican Party will never again be a majority party until we regain the confidence of the American people. I believe there is room for disagreement within the party, and we should not have litmus tests.
On the Republican playing field, Republicans always win.
I strongly believe that crossing the aisle for the good of the American people is more important than party politics.
The Republican Party is the Grand Old Party. It's made enormous contributions to the success of our country. And it is a party that has embraced its leadership role when it has had the majority or the White House.
A healthy degree of party unity among Democrats and Republicans has deteriorated into bitter partisan warfare.
The Republican Party is an empty vessel unless we imbue it with values.
By virtually any measure, the record of the Republican Majority is an appalling failure.
