We are facing both a branding and a demographic crisis.

Actually, one was brought on by the other.

In other words, the branding issue, or simply put, walking away from our principles, caused the demographic crisis.

Even simpler, all of the current GOP problems can be laid at the feet of the GOP walking away from Reagan Conservatism.

"The Big Tent", "Kinder or Gentler Conservatism", and any other marketing term used to move the GOP to the left has failed miserably.

Now we get to see if the GOP is smart enough to recognize the problem.

I agree...though the ‘new’ immigrants seem to have very different ideas about the scope of government. We’re importing millions of people who have been weened on anti-American socialism...the old Anglo-Saxon/protestant work ethic demographic is rapidly disappearing.
