"but you see a lot of the Reps a lot more positively than I do..." They are all in a straight jacket. They have to take certain stances in public if they want to have even a small prayer of getting the base. Given that their base is fragmenting, finding common ground isn't easy for anyone but Mitt.

Why kick them while they are down? They can't capture their base this time around. Hillary scares enough of the conservatives that they would have a better chance running against her than anyone else. But that is only a little bit better.
