For many of us, our social conservative views are what drives us. I would not exactly be motivated to walk the streets because of different views on marginal tax rates. If the Republican Party decides that it is more important to support, as you say, “divergent social morays (sic)”, then I may decide that it is more important to work in my garden than to make it to the polling booth. You may not like it. The Republican hierarchy may not like it. But that is how it is. And that is how it will be.
Happy gardening my FRiend.. I have skin in the game, and the way to win will take a compromise, and I will not impose my view on you or anyone else..
All I was explaining why we haven’t been successful in the past, and why that condition will probably continue..
BTW, I too am a social Conservative..
