"About two-thirds of the voters will not be Republicans"
What's the reason for this problem? I suggest the problem is the "social" conservatives (Christians) as if there is something conservative about not being able to mind your own business.
Barry Goldwater, the 1964 Republican candidate for president, predicted the Christian extremists would destroy the Republican Party. Unfortunately he was right.
Another problem is the idea there's something conservative about destroying the environment if it's lucrative to do that.
The Republican Party needs to focus on the economy and foreign policy, and nothing else.
“Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.”
