I'll start.
Keep their platform of small gubmint, low taxes and strong defense and incorporate;
1. Abortion
2. Gay marriage
3. Reasonable illegal immigration policies
The problem is the GOP knows exactly how many votes and money it gets from voters who oppose abortion, gay marriage and deporting all illegal aliens, so how do they make up the difference? If they adopt these new policies they become a "me too" party. Are there enough middle of the road abortion and gay friendly voters who also believe in small gubmint and low taxes to recover what they lose?
If the GOP becomes pro abortion and pro gay where do all those religious voters who oppose such go? Do they sit out?
The GOP has maneuvered themselves between a rock and a hard place. Not many places to go and there isn't much daylight.
