Actually Ronald Reagan’s strategy assembled the modern GOP model, aka the “three legged stool”
1. social conservatives (Religious right)
2. fiscal conservatives (anti-reg nutters)

They securely and very visibly tied their wagon to the BushCo train which went off a cliff. <br /> <br /> If the GOP loses the RR's vote then the party goes down in flames. The question then becomes: Will a new party rise from the GOP ashes or from a split in the democrats? The RR’s days are numbered.
