It is the moderates that decide elections, not ideologues. These are the people who pay little attention to political battles between left and right. They rarely watch or listen to political commentaries, campaign news, or party debates. When they vote for president unlike the ideologues who vote for party, they vote for the person they like. Choice of candidate will make or break the campaign and that's still a long way off.
Very true, but who's going to fall for Benghazi?Democrats plan A = Blame Bush
Democrats plan B = Blame Bush
Even by Obama's standard, how do you blame Bush?
Oh, that's right! The Republicans cut back on foreign service security.
Fucking specious argument.
What's the plan when these divisions result in a complete fracture?
They can't. The Tea Party movement creates a sharp dividing line among Republicans. 42 percent of Republican voters support it, while 46 percent don't. For the GOP to jettison the Tea Party is to lose their strongest support. Yet, the Tea Party is the strongest force uniting Democrats plus there is a minority of Republicans that strongly oppose it.What's the plan when these divisions result in a complete fracture?

42 % of Republicans support it. Doesn't mean that those 42% won't support the GOP without the Tea Party. The 56% of moderates will not support the GOP until they cut ties with the Tea Party.
Listen to what the radical right is saying. They claim the GOP is losing because they are not conservative enough. (Even though they get 87% of conservative voters already and are losing 56% of moderates.) the radical right's solution is to blow off moderates to chase the 13% of conservatives they aren't already winning.
It is suicide.
I don't think Republicans are stupid enough to lose their party this way. The numbers don't lie. They have no choice but to jetison the radical right. They are like an anchor that is dragging the whole party under.
They can try to talk the talk in a way that secures as many on the far right as possible. But when push comes to shove, they have no choice except to chase moderates.
Just MHO.
