None of your questions nor analysis make sense.
You ask why Reps are not in open rebellion. That assumes you know what Reps want. Now I don't claim to know entirely, as I'm not in touch with the "religious, single issue component" but more in touch with the economic component.
You have yet to acknowledge it is perfectly pragmatic for the economic reasons to prefer those guys who, through the political machine, have slowed down as opposed to those of the Left who would destroy our economics.
What is so unreasonable about that? You haven't even acknowledge the pragmatism of that.
Furthermore, you've falied to recognize, Reps may becoming pragmatic, not dogmatic. Better a devil we know than one we don't. Conservative also means cautious. Most of us don't want "government solutions" which are actually problems waiting to burden us.
