I’m always amazed that people forget the origin of “big tent” politics.

The phrase means that people of all sorts are welcome under the big top of the party - but the party leadership would remain conservative. Unfortunately, with the RINO monsters that have come to power in the GOP, “big tent” has come to mean “unconservative”.

Reagan was the ultimate big-tent politician. He said “I’m going my conservative way, and you are welcome to come along”, and the vast majority of the country did.

/rant ;-P
