Conservatives are AT MOST 30% of the electorate, probably more like 25%. A winning strategy has to focus on rebuilding the Reagan coalition, not on trimming it down to the 25% pure essence.

I think the number is significantly higher and in both parties. However to reach that number a suitable choice must be offered. I do agree with you on that. The problem is the ones most knowledgeable are quickly labeled unelectable by the media. For example Hunter is a congressman and they can't win POTUS. Yea and first GOP POTUS was a senator or governor from what state?

Not all DEMS are Liberals but they aren't gonna cross the line to vote for GOP moderates or liberals either. If Hillary wins the Dem nod you can look for her to comfortably run to McCain's right. In doing so she'll likely win. Willie did just that twice and won while the GOP played a Big Top Circus Tent Freak Show {1996}. Many Conservatives in all parties either stayed home or voted third party.

BTW Rush is playing a very stupid and dangerous game wanting Republicans to vote in the DEM primary. Part of the problem facing this nation today is a handful of persons pulling strings to manipulate elections especially primaries. To encourage such Anarchy in any parties primary makes a mockery of our electorial process. People are losing faith in that process as it is and these antics do nothing to restore voter confidence in anyones party.
