The best decision Republicans ever made was to double down on their more extreme opinions and adopt a win at all costs attitude. It has done literally nothing but benefit them since Obama was elected.

The idea that Dems should do the opposite is frankly lunacy. In a country where 60% of people aren't even voting, you don't win by trying to appeal to the mythical swing voter. You win by engaging more people.
The Republicans haven't really done that though. Trump may be a blowhard but he is pretty moderate in many ways compared to many other Republicans. I think that's partially why he was able to get a lot of independent voters. He didn't come across as the average Republican blathering about gay marriage and abortion. Probably was also why he encountered a lot of resistance from his own party and was basically forced to claim to be Christian
