“Attracting voters to the Republican Party is not, I will repeat that, NOT, the same as appeasing them or adopting their views as official Republican policy.”
BS. Pro-abortion voters won’t vote for an anti-abortion candidate, period. The only way to get the votes of pro-abortion people is TO BECOME PRO-ABORTION. And if the Republican becomes pro-abortion, then many old school conservatives (including me) will not vote for Republicans.
Or do you think pro-abort people will overlook that Republicans are anti-abortion and vote for us because they want smaller government? (yes, I’m pretending for the moment that Repubs are actually in favor of shrinking the government despite no supporting evidence for the last several years)
NO, they want abortion all day every day, at any time for any reason, so they will vote Democrat. If the Repub party becomes pro-abort, then we simply have two Democrat parties and we’re back to “not a dime’s worth of difference.”
