James Carville is a sly one. I doubt that the Republicans would take advice from him as to how to rebuild the party, but if they do Carville has sent them on a further downward course. In an interview with The Huffington Post Carville advised that if they abandon their current positions on social issues “their party would crumble.”
Their current social conservative policies have largely contributed to the demise of the Republicans as a viable national party. Support for the GOP is limited to the deep south and sparsly populated states in the Mormon belt of the west. Their support is down to 21 percent of voters. They have already crumbled.
Currently the Republicans receive their strongest support from the religious right and if they stop pandering to them the party does risk further declines in the short run until they attract voters they lost back to the party. Their current course allows them to have a small group of fervent supporters but prevents them from winning nationally.
