- The insurgent fringe?
I’ve had an insight into the Republican gains in the November elections. A lot of people aren’t going to agree with it.
It happened, I think, because the the Republicans managed to present themselves to voters as both a party of government and as an insurgent fringe party. Trust us to run the government was one message; Let’s bring the temple down! was another. It’s a contradiction Republicans will have to work out eventually, but look where it’s got them!
