The thing republicans have to remember is that federal spending is currently titled towards republican constituencies such as the wealthy, retirees and rural/suburbanites.
The republicans need to represent their own voters economic interest better, and that means they need to not only stop trying to implement draconian cuts to entitlements but also stop trying to radically rewrite the tax code and curtail deductions such as the mortgage interest deduction and the employer provided tax subsidy that their own voters rely on.
Their best strategy is present themselves as the defenders of the current amount of spending and oppose the democrats attempts to expand the welfare state that would benefit the democrats constituencies, instead of trying radically alter the current American fiscal system in a way that angers their own constituents.
