There are a lot of words in his article dancing around what I think is a simple, obvious dilemma for the GOP:
? The GOP base wants hard-core Trump-Kari Lake candidates.
?The general electorate doesn't.
So the candidates who win GOP primaries are likely to lose in general elections.
The problem gets worse for the GOP with each election cycle as the electorate grows more diverse, and more of the generation that came to the polls in Wisconsin are eligible to vote.
