::::The GOP base is regular voters who are solid conservative Republicans -- the ones who consistently vote GOP -- and RINOs are still significantly more liberal than that base. The fact that RINOs have a different base than conservative Republican elected officials illustrates this, and they have different bases because of their ideologies. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 16:51, 16 April 2018 (EDT)

::::::That's the thing - it was laid bare after Boehner's resignation, played out during Ryan's tenure and 2016 primaries, and playing out again. There is no national Republican party "base" ideology - other than opposition to single-party Democratic and civil service control.

:::::::I think it's clear that the base does have a unified ideology, at least in a rough sense. That ideology is economic and social conservatism. That's why the base does not think highly of RINOs like Joe Straus, the Bushes, and Mitt Romney. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 17:10, 16 April 2018 (EDT)
