But there sure are a lot of bad ones.
And somehow, this worldview still prevails among GOP leaders
The Democratic defections that conservatives coveted never materialized. And now many Republicans look like reflexively, dangerously aggressive people
Expect a less militarized approach to America's dealings with the rest of the world
Enough with the reckless, tone-deaf warmongering. Conservatives ought to start listening to realists like Rand Paul and Jon Huntsman
