Many of them have to run in the middle or lean right but then go lefty when elected.

Problem is that republicans do the same thing. Or perhaps more correctly, they don't come up with any ideas except on abortion and gay rights, they just try to keep the status quo. So we move left, slowly but surely.

I want to see a republican say we're going to balance the budget, have lower and flatter and broader tax rates (including a consumption tax), replace Obamacare with universal private care/insurance, and have a subsistence level universal basic income to replace our current focused and means tested welfare hodge-podge.

Domestic policy: People who work should live better than people who don't work.
Foreign policy: Treat our friends better than we treat our enemies.
Military policy: Never fight a war that we don't intend to win.

Develop a platform around those principles and stick to them.
