I see two possible courses of action brewing in the RNC:
1. Shift further left and hope to garner more of the liberals and soft conservatives. Won’t work - as we have seen in the past.They will alienate the conservative/Christian base.
2. Return to the base and stand up for conservatism - both fiscal and social.
As I see it, the only viable option is #2. If the Republican party moves away from the conservative Christian base, then they will not win another major election.
That is absolutely correct.
