确实如此。记得当年反对希拉里的其中一条是说她比较polarize。Obama标榜的一条就是他怎么bipartisan。
现在,三拖拉和Mitt两人争先恐后说自己多么“severely conservative”。
只能说GOP base离center太远,几乎到了不可相容的地步。事实上也确实如此。GOP右派要的就是“My way or high way. If it is not my way, we will let the nation go down.”
Gingrich攻击Mitt的一条就是说Mitt是moderate and he got a huge boost in SC.
This is a clear sign of indoctrinated voting block, extreme and rigid idealogy!
有点象60年代末70年代初的极左派。If this continues, there could be long term effect. 60年代直到90年代初,GOP占据了WH,Dem占据congress。Now,a reversal of roles may happen: GOP occupies congress and Dem occupies WH. The key is the middle term which is dominated by motivated base. The general election is determined by independents.
