John
Dickerson notes Republicans had two major setbacks in rapid succession:
Speaker John Boehner's failed "Plan B" to avert the fiscal cliff and the NRA's
embarrassing press conference.
"The Republican Party is in a rebuilding
mode after its 2012 election loss. These two events--a defiant NRA and an
incompetent leadership--cannot be the face of confrontation the GOP wants to
show the public on high-profile issues. Tea Party activists and gun owners are a
key part of the party base. But these public acts are out of sync with the
moment and completely at odds with party's need to widen its
membership."
