I think that there are a lot of people who I would refer to as independents and moderates, but not Clinton socialists.

But if I read you correctly, the base is lost the moment the base does not get its way, unless they get candidates who they have sanctioned.

If you only want the ideologically pure, you can be quite self satisfied, and out of power. JMO.

I can live with it as long as my conscience is clear. Besides, you'll be right there with us unless you decide you want to be on the winning team and go democrat.

DMZ, the RhNC has 1 more misstep and the base will be gone...then you can have the all the Moderates and Rinos you want. IMO, Steele may be that misstep, I hope that Blackwell or another Conservative can do what is necessary to pull the RhNC/GOP off the cliff.
