Do you have any reason to believe that the GOPe could stop a mass organized conservative effort to take the reigns of power in the party?

Further, take a look at the Senate members. How many Republican Senators can you identify that are conservatives? How many are RINOs (almost all).
The GOPe did NOT want Reagan because they thought he was radical - even after he served as a Governor. The people however, liked him and got to know him through movies and took him seriously because of his daily radio broadcasts.
Until you field another Reagan quality candidate that is likeable, experienced and a good communicator, good luck. The ones who go to serve in DC tend to go native pretty fast.
