I don’t understand why non-conservative republicans would even want another Bush.
From what I gather talking to people in the real world, the main issues that stop many politically moderate, college educated white collar Americans from voting GOP are foreign policy and economic policies that they believe favor the rich over the middle class.
The media and the GOPe would have you believe that if the GOP embraced gay marriage and amnesty for illegals, white collar liberals and moderates would flock to the party.
