Evidently, getting 26% of the electorate is not enough to win an election any longer.

Let's try an analogy. If 26 percent of the population of your town said they wanted to burn your house down, would you listen to them? Of course you would.

So why the hatred of social conservatives? Any Republican coalition-builder who wants to win national elections has to consider them. The problem with today's Republican Party is that one in four people who vote are being ignored.

What hatred? If someone is looking for hate, look in a mirror. There is none here.

The fact of the matter is, the country has changed.

To win, the Party has to change.

End of story.

Is this really so hard to comprehend? A national election cannot be won using many of the Social Conservative planks of the platform any longer. Period.

That is all. Its reality. We have to suck it up and deal with it.

If people want to LOSE elections for the next thousand years, then keep doing the same thing. We already know the results of that. We saw it on Tuesday.
