The Republican Party has grown more conservative over the past couple of decades. But news commentators sometimes wrongly imply that GOP voters take an extremist position on every issue.
As I described on Friday, for example, Jeb Bush’s support of Common Core educational standards isn’t likely to hurt him if he runs for president in 2016; the issue is neither all that relevant to most Republicans nor all that divisive. If candidates running to Bush’s right are looking for a wedge issue, they’ll probably have some better choices.

Its too bad we can't dissolve it on the spot and hold new mid term elections, as in other countries.
But I don't have confidence that our stupid fellow voters fully appreciate the dire situation our government has put us in.
I fully support legal immigration.
Well they are also disliked for other reasons. “Bad” numbers are much more complicated than “do you like this or not”.
But, sadly, the numbers are likely correct. We Tea Party do a very poor job of coordinating our message which is fairly well stamped out by the GOPs. Oh WE get the message here, but we are but a small sample.
Can’t say I am the least bit surprised.
Maybe the RINO moderates will find enough moderates to maintain
the House and take the Senate.
However, pass amnesty and millions of conservatives will stay home.
We shall see how that works out for the RINO’s.
What do you suggest? Elect more democrats?
Oh yes, keep staying home on election days. We do really need 8 more years of the Clintons. /sarc
It breaks down with the parties, however, I think if the country could have a national referendum on immigration with the public voting, I’m sure those who want full enforcement of current laws (meaning deport illegals, do not employ them, etc.) and a secured border would overwhelmingly win, I’d say 65% approximately.
So, corporate interests or something make some GOPe for it I suppose.
Nate the Obuma Nazi troll needs to be reminded of the penalty for treason. And “following orders” is not an adequate defense.
More lies and push polling from Radical Gay leftist and former Daily Koz Krackpot employee.
“Many Gelded Old Pansies are DemoCraps”
And some new ones too like ex Dem Ed Gillespie.
Keep nominating RINO’s and you will get the same result as Romney
and McCain. What part of that do you not understand?
Just run Jeb Bush and Hilly Clinton on the same ticket. Will save the leftists, dems and rinos a lot of money.
The people will then have a real primary season to select the REAL candidate that challenges the Bush/Clinton ticket in the Presidential election.
Heh, I love the misdirection. An underwhelming minority become “many”.
We could elect some actual conservatives.
Take my state for example. Tennessee. It’s a solid red state. But both our Senators — Alexander and Corker — voted for the Senate amnesty bill.
We need conservatives in the Senate and House. Not more RINOs and certainly not more Democrats.
Keep electing more Obama’s, Reid’s, Schumer’s, and California democrats and all illegals will be quickly disappear..../sarc
We have NO problem with LEGAL immigration.
Then I suggest the GOP not nominate another RINO.
We have tried the RINO way. It does not work.
