“The GOP isn’t listening”
Probably because the GOP, unlike the conservative base, understands that it can’t survive as a party if all it does is shrink, shrink and shrink until everyone but the activists is excluded. Republican strategists are afraid that people like PJTV will do to the party what the New Left did to the Democrats in the 1970s, that is, take their fanaticism so far that they’ll alienate the rest of the country and cause a shift in the other direction. And thus condemn conservatism to forty years in the desert, as happened to the liberals after 1968 and the conservatives after 1932.
