There is no empirical evidence to support your conclusion, in fact, the evidence supports the opposite conclusion...if you reward the GOP for moving Left, they will just move further to the Left. That has been proven in the last 4 elections since Reagan left the political scene.

If you're referring to my suggestion that Reagan could have become President had Ford won in 1976, no, there's no evidence. I simply have more confidence in his positive message than you. Reagan excelled for his attributes, not because he was an anti-Carter.

As to rewarding the GOP for moving left, your contension is that by staying home and aiding in the election of a Marxist, the GOP will look to the non-voters on the right next election, rather than those in the middle who actually show up on election day. And that the damage to the nation will be well worth it because in 4 or 8 years we'll elect .....

Hmmmmm.

Just who is this superman with no electoral support within the GOP you expect to emerge?

We'll see. I think you're a dreamy eyed as many Obama supporters. Who do show up and vote.

It’s beyond hmmmm. It’s the most insane idea for winning something since Pickett’s Charge.

Take a few more hits from that bong he’s serving and it will come to you, I’m sure. :-0

And yes, your are correct that Reagan could have won in 1980 after 4 years of Ford. he would be the natural next President, although Dole might have gone for it and won.

We’ll never know.
