Considering the present location of “the middle,” that would not be a reasonable type. See, e.g., the ongoing discussion of [Jeb](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=719702), who is distinguishable as far more centrist than the Tea Party wing of the GOP, but is still a bizcon and climate-change denier, neither of which is a reasonable position in America at present.

In fact, there seems to be practically **nothing** reasonable remaining in the GOP any more.
