The GOP establishment has been trying to dump social conservatism for some time now. Unfortunately, it won’t matter if the books balance if you live in a sewer- which social liberalism is reducing us to.
Actually, in my opinion, the GOP need not worry their empty heads with this. I foresee the “social issues” segment leaving the GOP in herd step. Although the Tea Party’s platform centers around fiscal issues perhaps it may expand its care abouts to include social issues as well. If not, we could see a fourth party emerge. Personally, I would prefer to see the TP expand its agenda and platform to include social issues as I think by splitting the electorate three ways the TP could come in 2nd behind the Dem’s but ahead of the GOP. This would force the GOP to make some hard decisions concerning who to caucas with, etc. at any rate I foresee the 2016 election as the beginning of a new era for the political scene. Anyway, stay tune things are going to get interesting ......
