I would also point to the Bush Administration. Bush didn't significantly shrink the gov't (and actually increased the size of Medicare) despite the GOP controlling both houses of Congress for four years of his term. After that, it became clear that the GOP establishment wasn't as committed to shrinking gov't as the hardcore right. The establishment's unwillingness to shut down the gov't in the long term in order to end Obamacare has reinforced this point.
