"Face facts, the republicans can't win without a base."

While that's true, it's also true that when the base has not strongly supported the Republican nominee the results have been Presidents like Carter and Clinton - and the base understands that.

ANd didn't the base turn out in record numbers last year. We'll never get people like Tancredo or Buchanan in the top job..They are paleos who would garner less than 5%
