The problem Republicans have is that we Conservatives are IDEOLOGUES. That means we will NOT support moderate or centrist quasi-Democrat candidates. That leaves the party in a quandry… no matter which way they turn, they risk losing massive quantities of voters.
This will continue until the party decides which group it wants as its voting core. If the go for the Moderates, they risk being swallowed up by the Democrats who already gave those voters in their camp; it they go Conservative, they risk becoming a niche party with little to no presence in Government.
