“Ayres argues that to expand beyond its traditional base, the GOP needs to, among, other things, eschew “ideological rigidity”

Isn’t that what the GOPe did with McCain and Romney as candidates? Look what their limp, bend with the wind, can’t we all just get along, noodlicity got us, 8 years of Odumbo!
The same was said of Reagan, that he was a rigid ideologue. IMHO, we need a sharp contrast with the Left to have any chance of winning and with a mandate to save the country...
