So what do modern conservatives do now? What do we do to attempt to rebuild the GOP, or to create a right-of-center party that effectively sidelines the reactionaries, neoconservatives, and Tea Partistas to their appropriate role in the party, giving them a vote and not a veto?
Make sure, to the best of our ability, that we dig deeper into the ranks of the party for men and women who understand the difference between “conservative” and “reactionary;” who recognize that we are sending them to Washington or the State House to get s*** done and not to serve as ideological poseurs; and who are willing to represent all Americans and not just the Fortune 500 and the members of the New York Stock Exchange.

I’d be happy to, but I’m under no illusions: I couldn’t get elected dog catcher in a town full of cat lovers.
