The first party - and this goes for Canada too - that determines that fiscal conservatism and socially liberal policies are very popular, will turn into a dynasty. Nobody can seem to get out of their own way to make it happen. And when Johnson/Weld do it, the voters are too scared to go 3rd party. So the GOP will have to reform around those ideas.
Now this I can agree with. My apologies for calling you out by name earlier, but three pages of news-less pedantry was getting irritating when there's so much substance to discuss and ridicule.
