In 2301 we have been discussing the problems that the two major U.S. parties face in keeping consistent positions on issues. Republicans are having to face the uncomfortable reality that candidate that currently seems most competitive has different positions than the party on two of the most important issues to the party faithful: abortion and gay rights.
Maybe things change down the line, but do party identifiers stick to their principles and risk losing, or do they compromise principles in the hopes of winning?
This is a classic dilemma.
What to do? What to do?
