Is this an argument in support of the RINO position or am I misreading it?

"If Republicans found a way to apply conservative principles in ways that offered tangible benefits to most voters and then talked about this agenda in those terms, they would improve their standing among all of these groups while also increasing their appeal to white working-class voters."

I don't think so.

That gives me faint memories...something about “compassionate Conservatism” or something. Can’t quite put my finger on it...

I don’t think so either. Republican strategists seem to think that logical arguments will sway voters and win elections. This is their fatal flaw.
