They should take on a path of libertarianism, if they want to be electable in the future. Over half of America describes themselves as economically conservative and socially liberal. And they don't necessarily have to be pure libertarian on national security, just in favor of civil liberties and skeptical of pre-emptive military action.

However, its clear that the path the GOP wants is a mixture of populism and hardcore conservatism.

Moderation and populism.

As for Libertarianism, we will pay lip service to get their votes, but we really don't want their wacky ideas in our platform or in government policy.

As for Conservatism, the more useful and sensible conservative policies will become government policy. 

Oh yeah, small government and fiscal conservatism, so wacky, I know.
