When you're hard right, everything is extreme. (And ditto if you're hard left).

Translation: if you think he's hard left you've never experienced the joy of California (or Austin) politicians.

Then the Republicans split and the Democrats win... Just sayin'.
If Christie is the nominee, I really doubt the Repubicans win anyway.

There is a big chunk of the Republican party that like smaller govt and lower taxes and they are more often than not ignored. The pro-gun Repub crowd is generally in that camp also. The more "moderate" and elitist the repub candidate it, the more those people will stay home. If that party don't get reorganized or figure it out, they will go the way of the Whig party.

Independents win elections. The extreme wing of either party does not win elections.

Reagan had a big tent.

Just FYI: Libertarians fully grasp what the 2nd amendment is about.

Another FYI: Yankee Republicans are nothing at all like true Republicans. We see that again and again.

This is why Republicans are a minority party and shrinking. As this continues, I expect the Republican Party to define itself into smaller and smaller groups. Pretty soon it will just be Waller County.

As an Independent, I want to see an array of strong vital parties, putting forth good candidates and battling on ideas and management expertise. I find reality the opposite.
