That’s the problem for Republicans. The party has changed; it’s strayed from its principles, which have always been basically conservative. It’s never been the party of slavery, or segregation, or big government (until now). If the voting populace does not want to embrace Republican principles (and the last two presidential elections indicate they don’t), what good does it do to adjust our philosophy to theirs? Demonrat Lite may attract a few Latino and black votes (not enough to matter in an election) at the cost of losing core conservative Republican votes. It’s a path to the dissolution of the party. If the party is doomed to extinction, let it at least go down adhering to its principles.

Well said. At least lose with dignity. There is honor in that.
