Tom Ridge, Republican, former Governor of Pennsylvania and the first secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, offers
some sage advice to the Republican party, including this:
"In order to govern, we must win national elections. To do so the
narcissists and ideologues within our party need to understand that
Americans are, more conservative than liberal, but are more practical
than ideological and more tolerant and open minded than judgmental. They
are also looking for real not rhetorical solutions.
"They are not attracted to a party that imposes an even more severe
litmus tests on its own members, projects an unacceptable rigidity and
self-righteousness on social issues, and spends more time and energy
objecting to bad law rather than proposing alternatives."
