I have to agree with the advice to the GOP contained in this article.
The key premise that has been guiding these conservatives, however, is
mistaken. That premise is that the main reason conservatives have won so
few elections and policy victories, especially recently, is a lack of
ideological commitment and will among Republican politicians. A bigger
problem than the insufficient conservatism of our leaders is the
insufficient number of our followers. There aren’t enough conservative
voters to elect enough officials to enact a conservative agenda in
Washington, D.C. — or to sustain them in that project even if they were
elected. The challenge, fundamentally, isn’t a redoubling of ideological
commitment, but more success at persuasion and at winning elections.
The idea that the country is center right might be true but you have to think about the center part. Conservative ideas need to used to persuade centrist Americans instead of going after some mythical enclave of far right people.
