Over half of Republican voters want a MORE CONSERVATIVE party

Wow...and this from lib-leaning Politico. Can someone over at the RNC and on Capitol Hill place some smelling salt under Reince Priebus, John McCain, Mitch McConnell, Boehner, Cantor and all the rest of the establishments' collective nostrils? There's only one way the party could move at this point!

Politico: Nearly two-thirds of Republicans want their party to change its direction, and more than half say they want the party to become more conservative, according to a new poll.

When asked if Republicans just need to make a stronger case on its positions or whether it needs to reconsider some of those positions, 59 percent of GOP voters surveyed in a new Pew Research Center poll said the party needs to reconsider some policies, while 36 percent said it just needed to make a stronger case. Sixty-seven percent said the party needed to address major problems, as opposed to 30 percent who said needed changes were minor.

How the party should move, though, was more split. Just over half, 54 percent, of Republican voters said the party leaders should move in a more conservative direction, while 40 percent said they should be more moderate.

The poll also showed the tea party is strong among primary voters, making up almost half of the Republican primary electorate.

And yet, the leadership is constantly undermining & attacking conservatism, abandoning the base, and capitulating on issue after issue. And they expect to win what? Doesn't make sense, does it?
