One nation conservatism or Christian democracy could be incredibly successful nationally. I might actually even be tempted to vote for one of those Republicans.
The GOP won't adopt that unless it is forced to by a level of success that the Democratic party has not yet enjoyed since the Monroe era.
In the meantime, it can continue to be fairly successful with its combination of sucking up to the donor class, stoking racism and xenophobia, using its well-developed propaganda arms, appealing to white identity, exploiting the anti-majoritarian nature of the US constitution, and aggressively disenfranchising as many voters as possible.
So I don't really understand the point of this topic. The GOP is doing just fine and doesn't need to rebrand or reinvent. Maybe if Trump ends badly it'll take awhile to shake off the stink. But I expect they'll bounce right back.
