But isn't that the point James D Hill is trying to make? That with all the angst Republicans tend to throw at gays, immigrants, women and the poor, they miss opportunities to convert voters. Instead, they seem to go out of their way to alienate them.
Wasn't it clear from the 2016 Presidential election that instead of pushing likely voters away it's better to say and/or do things that would lure more voters across political lines to their bosom? Instead, it would appear that some within the Republican Party would rather stand firmly on hard-line conservative principles even if driving the hard line hasn't won them the big prize. But then again, perhaps winning back the White House isn't what they have in mind. Perhaps many Congressional and/or state representative Republicans truly believe that the best way forward is to retain power at the state legislative and federal congressional levels.
Things that make you go...Hmmmm....
