In reply to the discussion: How a Romney Loss Would Impact the GOP [View all]Populist_Prole
(5,364 posts)41. Quotable, all of it.
If the Democratic party has moved right, due to the center moving right, and the DLC "third way" dynamic, is it all possible for the GOP to move left? I know it sounds crazy but as purely a desperate survival move, they might end up doing just that. I wonder though, what the GOP reciprocal of the Democratic party's "third way" might be? For sure they'll have one heck of a task putting all the nutjobs back in the attic, and it may well take another election cycle to lose; to fully make the fringe literally irrelevant.
This is what makes me the uneasiest because a more moderate fascia on the GOP would make them more electable but every bit as dangerous to the country.
