re: #110 EPR-radar

Unfortunately, you’ve just described a reasonable strategy for getting thorough GOP primary season in 2016.

It’s true for getting through either primary. Primary voters tend to be concerned about political purity, and any banking reform bill that could actually pass in Congress would need to incorporate compromises, which would subject its author to the inevitable shouts of “DINO!” or “RINO!”. Saying “No!” without suggesting something realistic you’d say yes to is the politically safe way.
