Was this a 15 percent tax cut or a 15 percentage point tax cut?
I remember reading somewhere that after the Republicans swept Congress in the 1994 elections, Bob Dole and Barry Goldwater used to joke that they were now on the left wing of the Republican Party.
Dole was personally conservative but he was also a dealmaker of the old school. You don't become Senate majority leader if you can't do that.
The real divide in the Republican Party today isn't a moderate/conservative one. Moderates haven't had any significant pull in the party since the mid '90s. The divide is between those who are willing to compromise and those who aren't.
