Can the Republican candidate win over enough independents and Democrats to win the election?
Posted on 11/27/2007 7:12:15 PM PST by cradle of freedom
What should the Republican presidential candidate do to win over independent and Democrat voters without sacrificing his conservative principles? Do you think it is possible to find common ground with enough independents and Democrats to win the 2008 election? And if so, which issues can bring people together?

I’m with Old Sarge. No. I don’t see how you can advance conservatism with middle ground. Conservatism is, and should always be common ground.

Can the Republican candidate win over enough independents and Democrats to win the election?No.
The only Republican who can do this loses 1/3 of the GOP base.
The rest of the Republican candidates have no chance outside of the base.
We're screwed.

I agree. Hillary Clinton will unite most of America.

That comment made me physically ill, she is more divisive and polarizing then Bush has been to the left.

Do you really believe that Hillary Clinton can win the Presidency? She is the meanest and most unlikeable person to run for President in modern time and no person with this fatal character flaw is going to be President no matter how hard she tries and the media cover and work for her.

No. It is they who must find their “common ground.”
If their stance is with leftists, Socialists, enviro wackos, and other assorted liberal trash, then so be it.
Mine is not.

If folks read Fred Thompson’s written plans he has put out on the economy, illegal immigration, national defense, tax reform, national security, and social security, they will like what they see. I believe illegal immigration, national security, tax reform, and saving social security are issues that will be very important to Democrats and Independents as well as Republicans. Fred Thonpson does have the best point by point plans out there! :)
