If the GOPe has their way they will try to move the republican party more to the left to attract these voters.

They wont get them. Then they will move the party leftwards more. Still wont get them. Left again... nope... again. again. again. again...

I welcome ANYONE (sorry muslims.. not you) to join me in the fight against socialists / statists. But they must come to us making NO demands. We will NOT become the enemy to gain their loyalty.

Best that can be hoped for with the people that have voted for democrats their entire life is that they just dont vote any more (or work overtime to commit vote fraud any more) because the democrats cant deliver on their promises of free shit. Which is why its asinine for the GOP to shift left. We do more HARM to the left by stopping them from fulfilling their promises and ultimately disillusioning their low info voters.

Really... When its all about free stuff, and the guy you worked for or voted for to get you free stuff doesnt... you stop working for and voting for them.

Interesting point about the compromise topic.

Liberals toss around the notion of "trying to negotiate with arch-Conservatives to compromise on blah-blah-blah" yet don't refer to any of their OWN "arch-Liberals" that need to be brought to the center.

Same concept applies with Liberal fav topics like gun control.
To a contemporary Liberal...compromising on firearms means that Conservatives make fewer concessions and give up fewer rights than they wish to seize. They don't actually move at all, simply await Conservatives to yield. Applies across many topics.
