For the past year, conservatives have coalesced around the number one enemy: health care reform. But now that it’s over, we explore what’s next for the GOP.

Troy Senik joins us. He’s a senior fellow for the Center for Individual Freedom, a conservative think tank, and served as a speechwriter for President George W. Bush. He’s currently co-authoring a book on the future of the Republican Party.
