Apparently, Joshua thinks that grammar and/or proofreading are uncool.
Presidential Elections it does hold true that Liberal Republicans do not fair well. If Gore had not been scandal tainted GW Bush who told the Conservatives to pound sand and embraced the Log Cabin GOP would have had a major loss in 2000. Ford-Liberal lost, GHW Bush - Liberal won one election on Reagan legacy and lost the next by his 1000 points of NWO Liberalism, Bob Dole Says-Liberal lost, GB Bush squeaked by what should have been easy wins had he not told the Conservative base to get lost, John Take a Dive McCain didn't even make it to the election despite the party nomination, Mitt Obamacare Romney LOST. Compare those to Ronald Reagan the most Conservative GOP post WW2 POTUS who won two landslides by embracing the Conservative Base.
Yes indeed if a GOP POTUS candidate disses the Conservatives {Tea Party} they can almost with certainty count on a loss in the General Election. The big question needed asking is why don't they care? Being paidor promised high paying positions to throw elections perhaps? They likely have more in common politically with the DEMs and share their agenda? I think so. I think politically the Bush Family likely agrees with most of Obama's policies than Ronald Reagan's and it certainly showed in "W"s botched terms as POTUS. Only the most devout Bush Cult loyalist defend the Bush clan now.
The Bush Family despite their Faux imported southern accents are northeastern LIBERALS born, breed, and educated, into the liberal culture considering themselves the ruling elite.
Since George HW Bush was first Ronald Reagan's challenger in 1980 before becoming his Vice President, make that 34 years.
Our only chance is if the US Senate and HOR stand tall.
