The GOP gave its base liberal Republicans Juan MeCain & Willard Romney and found out twice that it's Conservative T.E.A. Party base can not be depended on to vote for anyone they put up like the Black base of the Democrat party.

The GOP can ignore its base at its own peril.

Though Sarah Palin saved MeCain from a humiliating loss, a Conservative was not at the top of the 2008 or 2012 ticket.

Romney got more votes in Bible Belt States than McCain, or Bush in 2004.

So where is this mythical base that stayed home? Under a rock? On Mars?
