The Republican Party needs to stick to Conservative principles and Conservative candidates.
If we begin to chase power and control at the price of our values, we are lost as a country and the Constitutional Republic has failed.

My prediction: The GOP will compromise and, if it can, try to project the image of standing firm. This includes things like adding to the party planks language rejecting the exceptions for abortion while pushing a candidate who’s known as being pro-abortion and though claiming to have changed his mind still said “of course I support abortion in the cases of rape and incest.”

I believe that’s already happened. Look at how the GOP-e pushed Romney. There were states which declared him the winner of their primary... until the next primary was closed. There was the case where the Ron Paul supporters got delegates through a good use of rules-lawyering... only to be denied the delegates by the rules being retroactively changed. There was the text of the proposed rule-changes at the RNC, the voice-vote/teleprompter incident, the refusing to seat delegates, and I’m sure more.
