Nobody is going to alienate the fundie base, and given the state of the country today I don’t see staking out odious positions as a losing proposition as long as it fires up the base. The problem is nothing seems to be able to fire up the Dem base, not even the thought of a Teahadist takeover of the country.

The fundie base is self alienating. Even the most tepid moves towards rationality and moderation will fail their litmus test. If Jeb or Marco or Christie run it absolutely will be as a counterpoint to the hyper-zealotry of lunatics like Ted Cruz. And there will be blood.
