Repubs only win elections by CONVERTING people from liberalism to conservatism. This delusion that "most people are self-identified conservatives by title but libs by position" means anything but the majority of the population currently being liberal is ludicrous.
We live in a majority liberal society in 2015. You have to change that to win an election. Any dem might have beaten any repub, in 2008, 2012. Might not just be weak repubs and "unbeatable" dems with no experience and a middle name "Hussein" lol.
