*'''REACHING OUT TO INDEPENDENTS IS A KEY TO VICTORY'''
*'''REACHING OUT TO INDEPENDENTS IS A KEY TO VICTORY'''
To much dismay, the establishment is dead set on winning the independent vote. SO much so, that they turned their backs on conservatives. 4 million conservatives stayed away from voting Mitt Romney in the 2012 elections. Republicans can't understand this. D.C. pollsters have them convinced that 20% of voting public is Democrat that strictly votes only their candidates. 20% of the voting public is Republicans that steadfastly vote only their party candidates and that 20% of independents are up for grabs. It's not the case. If it were the case, Democrats would be wooing them at all costs and they are not.

Get out of this mindset. To not be right leaning, means you must campaign as not right leaning. Basically, you are turning your back on the base in hopes that they will vote for you no matter what and that Independents will be convinced to follow in your direction. You can't just drive in a tour bus with the words Conservative emblazoned on the sides. You must stand for principles.
