Mitch McConnell to the National Journal, 2010 and to the New York Times, "I wish we had been able to obstruct more."

2008: "We have a new president with an approval rating in the 70 percent area. We do not take him on frontally. We find issues were we can win, and we begin to take him down, one issue at a time. We create an inventory of losses, so it's Obama lost on this, Obama lost on that."

Been right out in the open since Gingrich (but the country wasn't yet severely polarized, Clinton was popular with white working class who went hard for Republicans during the Obama administration). So when idiots bark and growl about Democrats "ignoring the working class" being "neoliberals" both sides -- congratulations, the Republicans told you what to think.
