      This is why I don't think the GOP crack up will be lasting. It's possible to be conservative without being radical.http://nationalinterest.org/feature/can-the-american-right-renounce-utopianism-15599 …

      @brianbeutler So you mean--"conservative" as in ethno-nationalist anxiety about social change vs. "conservative" as in extremist

      @yeselson I mean, "we want to cut taxes and regulations some."

      @brianbeutler But that's the part that the ethno-nationalists don't care as much about--the spinach. They need the nativist dessert, right?

      @yeselson right, it would be a somewhat different coalition, but still conservative.

      @yeselson if you're not racist, but still like lower taxes, the "new GOP" might be appealing.

      @brianbeutler @yeselson But a party like that would have less support than current nativist-inflected GOP.

      @HeerJeet @yeselson I don't know! I think a lot of educated Dem voters are more repulsed by GOP racial politics than enamored of liberalism.

      @HeerJeet @yeselson something like this has worked out okay for conservative parties in Anglophile democracies.

      @brianbeutler @yeselson Sure but Canadian conservatives never got more than 39% of vote. In USA system that would be lethal.

          @HeerJeet @brianbeutler @yeselson somehow Lincoln managed to achieve something in spite of getting only 40%.

          @HeerJeet I expect a second Clinton to need no more than 43% when the new Whigs split the conservative vote.
