Well maybe they aren't on this board but moderate republicans haven't gone anywhere.
Look at who Republicans nominate for Prez:
George H.W. Bush (twice)
Bob Dole
George W. Bush (twice)
John McCain
Mitt Romney
The moderate republicans are alive and well and running the party.
Wrong, JM & MR adopted the radical right platforms when they ran, and each got creamed. Right now, a GOP mod will not run as a mod. Running radical right = automatic loss.
It will take a few more cycles running radical right, getting creamed, before the Establishment GOP takes tighter control, and runs mods, who run on moderate platforms.
Liberals don't know what a moderate is if it bit them on their butts.... Liberal definition of moderate is conservative with liberal beliefs.... The definition of a moderate is believes in conservative ideas but not to its extreme.... For instance, its not cut taxes for one and raise tax on the other.... A moderate would be cut tax for eveyone at 5% instead of 20%....

Thus a moderate would only have a 5% ineffective policy vs a 20% ineffective policy , both being absorbed by the FIRE sector.

Radical right? lols.
That's pure delsional thinking.
Romney and McCain are big government politicians. Not as big govt as President Obama/Biden but still big government. They changed the way they said a few things to appear slightly more conservative. Exactly like Obama does. Doesn't mean they don't love them some big government.
For 8 years we heard that George W. Bush was some far right guy. And he won 2 elections. So, was he a radical right that can't win or a moderate who the GOP won't run? Make up your minds liberals. Stop just repeating what MSNBC tells you to think.
And why would a moderate run as a "radical right" when you say they can't get elected as a "radical right" lols.
Are you saying they spend all that time and money to lose an election? lols.
Don't take a job as a political pundit. You're career will be short.
Moderates are usually people who don't think out what they support on moral principles but rather "go with the flow" and "try to please everyone."
In other words, their ideology isn't consistent nor thought out.

Except for George W. Bush. But Al Gore and John Kerry were so far out in left field Bush was easily the best choice.
