I'd be impressed if they merely drop the constitutional amendment from their platform.

As I discussed in the other thread, I believe the only way us Americans can preserve the sanctity of marriage is to pass a Federal Marriage Amendment. This will stop activist judges from redefining the institution for all of America

If the Republican Party goes this route, they have surrendered the culture wars

Don't you realize that many voters have stayedh ome in 2008 and 2012 because we didn't have a conservative running? What about us? Don't our votes matter?

We tried the RINO thing twice, and it was a disaster. Third if you count Dole. You have to bring the base AND independents out. It's about balance. RINOs are too busy tossing us overboard to understand.

I'd say they screwed up on some things, economically. But they did great with social conservative turnout as well as Latino turnout. W was able to run ideas based  campaigns, attracting moderates and conservatives both.

HW ran a terrible campaign in '92, but George W Bush really mastered it in 04

What's sad is that Republicans did the exact opposite this year.  Nominated both a RINO AND an out-of-touch plutocrat. I don't get it. It's like the establishment is purposefully trying to lose.
