3. Will Remaining GOP Moderates Run Away From the Circus?
I wonder if those remaining moderate Republicans are naive enough to think that they'd be respected or even allowed to express their opinions in today's Hard Right-controlled Republican Party? Have GOP moderates finally realized that they've sold out their principles for old loyalties a time or two too many, been force-fed humble pie too often, or have gotten tired of being the targets for RINO hunts by the right-wing ideologues?

If so, they may not listen to Giuliani's pitch that the GOP still has a place for moderates other than to serve as "useful idiots" for the Radical Right, and finally do something positive for their self-respect and run away from the GOP's circus.
