There is no such thing as a crossover Democrat. If they wanted to cross over, they’d have registered Republican by now. If Obama wasn’t enough to make them switch, no one else will be.
The only Republican candidate who can win is one who excites and energizes the Christian right conservative base. Reagan and Bush did it and won. Dole, McCain and Romney didn’t do it and lost.
We don’t see the Dummycraps trying to run a candidate who a big part of their base hates. You need to excite your base or you don’t have a campaign and can’t convince anyone else to come on board.
You are right!
