| The GOP is committing political suicide by chasing off the moderates/centrists. Some will just stay home and not vote, some will switch to Dem or Decline to State [Independant non alligned voters], some may stay in the GOP but vote largely Dem. If the GOP hopes to survive, it must move to the center, at least on social issues. I can be wrong, but I see the winners in the next election cycle [House of Reps, Senate and Governors] as fiscal conservatives who are more liberal on social issues.
The Dems have to be careful too. The old mantras of tax and spend, gun grabbing and some other ideas favored y the far left will just chase people to the right.
What we need is a third, centrist party.
