The concept of compassionate conservatism - at least in principle - was that conservative techniques should be used to promote the general welfare. Do you think the concept is dead, or can it be revived?

The way these things usually work is that they come back under a different name. Bet on it coming back after the Republican get crushed in 2016

Rossi Douthat is a big proponent of that idea. I also think Rubio would return to those themes if he makes it past the primaries.
