But off-camera, the Republicans were more candid about the divergent currents that will determine the party's future. Presidential Pollster Richard Wirthlin, Kansas Senator Robert Dole and New York Congressman Jack Kemp were among the G.O.P. leaders and strategists who met individually with TIME's editors to discuss the changing Republican Party.
