[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

I’m all for being a “big tent” - on OUR terms. In other words, we hold to our principles, and the moderates come to US, not the other way around.

I tried to say pretty much the same thing here...

"...conservatism is inclusive, with a caveat. Conservatives want to associate with other conservatives no matter their race or ethnicity. The key there is conservatism. Without that base of shared beliefs and values what you get is a shifting foundation whereupon nothing can be built."

[TheFourthMagi]

Social liberals welcomed with open arms into a “big tent” Republican Party” will inevitably endeavor to undermine social conservatism within the GOP and institute their own views on social issues.

It is fallacious to contend that social liberals can be an integrated part of the GOP without them pushing the GOP hard in the direction of social liberalism.
