“It is also an embarrassing repudiation of conservative orthodoxy that has dominated Republican politics for decades”
I take it they’re referring to all of the effective accomplishment of “orthodox conservatives” over the last few decades and even quite recently, as so many of us still remember how the “orthodox conservative” Republican-led Congress stood up to Obama and stopped his agenda dead in its tracks by passing a budget that eviscerated his illegal immigration policies, eliminated the energy-destroying EPA, eliminated the Marxist propaganda Education Department, eliminated the job-destroying Labor Department, eliminated the racist Civil Rights Commission, defunded the FCC until they give back control of the Internet to private industry, defunded Obamacare, defunded enforcement of 99% of Obama”s regulations and Executive Orders. It was a great day for America when that happened, when “orthodox conservative” Republicans stopped Obama’s agenda cold.
Given all of these amazing accomplishments by the “orthodox conservative” Republican party, it’s no wonder that the only thing that rank-and-file Republicans everywhere care about is getting some more of them elected so that they can continue applying their “orthodox conservative” Republican principles to such good effect.
You are, unfortunately, 100% correct.

Thank you. If the g(r)ope party were for any of the things listed there would not be this restlessness in the base.
I want this party....
— small government, free trade, pro-Israel, deregulation, low taxes, social conservatism ... (Not feeling the world domination)....
Throw on some pro-free enterprise and equal enforcement of the law and I am in!
