For those GOPers with long memories, they will recall continuing battles between the conservative wing of the GOP and its “moderate” or northeast wing (cf Taft vs Dewey,Taft vs Eisenhower). They come together, reluctantly, when a nominee from one side or the other is favored by the “Gods”…sometimes Goldwater and Reagan, sometimes Bush or McCain. The only losing strategy I can detect is “to be more like the Democrats”. It’s not clear why liberal voters who are faced with a choice between Democrats and ersatz Rrepublicans would choouse the GOPer.
