Politically, all are not going to agree on all things and therefore it is only upon the important foundational principles that a lasting and strong coalition can be formed.
As far as governance, except for the unalienable and Constitutional, when there is no clear consensus at some level of government THEN that is by default evidence that there is no role for government at that level on the issue -these things are best left up to the States and or the individual -always decided as local as possible.
If the GOP is to adopt these basic principles AGAIN it will require kicking GOProud to the curb.
I just dont see this nation survivng another 4 years of obama.
