THE MARKUP, VIDEOS

Tonight on Hardball, Club for Growth president Pat Toomey and Family Research Council president Tony Perkins discussed the two areas in which the GOP is tanking — fiscal and social policy.

Toomey pointed out that while social conservatives have gotten two conservative Supreme Court justices, budget hawks have gotten bupkis. Perkins, on the other hand, argued that the social conservatives are the most crucial part of the base in getting out the vote.

Readers of this blog will know which guy's arguments resonated most strongly with me, but both men present a strong case that the GOP is in big trouble if it doesn't get its act together. As a bonus, Chris Matthews was able to keep his weirdness in check for the entire seven minutes. Check it out.
