But is there any reason to think the Republicans will be willing to even propose the solutions necessary, much less able to carry them through?
1. Control the borders and assimilate the Latin American immigrant population. Conservatives will never get a majority of this immigrant population but after a generation or two we can get a respectable percentage.
2. Stop subsidizing unwed motherhood. Ask any economist what you get when you subsidize something. Arguably this is the single biggest factor destroying our society.
3. Put a halt to the indoctrination of our children with leftwing ideology in the schools.
demographics is not the issue...the idiot GOPe is responsible for 99% of the problem...they have a public relations problem, an issue getting out their message and, oh yeh- they are cowards the way the refuse to fight back against obama, the media yet keep arms length from the Tea Party....
The only way the GOP will get the Hispanic Vote is to offer more welfare and food stamps than the Democrats...with the way the GOP is going....that will be coming soon
You ain’t getting it by giving Illegal Alien Amnesty
The GOP just wants to be the minority party
Santa Claus killed the GOP.
See no by-line to this opus in the Examiner. If your not prepared or able to explain how and why gas prices are so high as well as the cost of everything else and the result of socialist planning and call it such all the lamentations about demographics isn’t worth a pile of defecation.

Who has the cojones to do all those things in Washington DC?
Are they even going to WIN when they run with such a platform?
We need to start talking to blacks and Latinos avbout CONSERVATIVE VALUES. I heard someone tell Rush that he needs to have a SPANISH TRANSLATORS to reach out to the LATINOS.
I think the TEA PARTY need to work in the inner cities and tell minorities that CONSERVATIVES got the same values they want. Unfortunately, no one talk to them, so they don't understand we are not against them.
The Same with the young people, We need to reach out to them.
What about white voters? If the GOP is the white people’s party, why in the state of Maine only 40 percent of whites voted for Romney; in Vermont, only 33 percent. The same holds true in MA. You can’t explain Romney’s losses in states with large white populations and small numbers of minorities.
If we only got 5% of hispanics it would work. Appeal to them on values since they tend to be socially conservative.
idk
what else can you do?
This is true as well. I mean how many Hispanics are there in PA, WI, OH, CO? Yet TX and AZ have a large amount.
It’s something else.
Exactly. Why can’t the GOP win in places like PA when they have a R governor and state house? OR places like CO, OH, WI???
THAT is not a black/hispanic problem.
You can talk to Hispanics, but getting blacks involved with the GOP is almost impossible for all the reasons most of us know. Resources are too scace to spend chasing 6 or 7 percent of the vote when you can get 35 to 40 percent of the Hispanic vote.
Well, the Republicans and supposedly fair and balanced commentators who are now pushing amnesty will make sure it happens if they get their way.
Then they'll have to deal with the problem of the former loyal Republicans who abandoned them in disgust. Do they ever ask if their pandering could possibly win them as many votes as it will lose them?
And yet we have almost daily threads expressing angst over Jewish voters, less than 2% and almost all in overwhelmingly Democrat areas anyway.
BUCK UP people! This Examiner article is exactly right. Romney lost by a couple points against a Black candidate who got 94% of the black vote when the black vote was 13% of the electorate. Replace Obama with a white candidate and the black vote shrinks back to 11% (its historic average), and that shaves 2 points off Obama’s margin of victory right there. The black population isn’t growing, SO WRITE THEM OFF.
However, the GOP has a more mixed record with Hispanics and Asians, the two fastest-growing demos. Bush got 40% of each group in his two Presidential runs. Romney got 46% of Asians in Nevada, of all places. McCrory, the NC candidate for Governor, got 46% of Hispanics (Romney only got 31%). There are openings for us with these groups. Micro-target, engage, bring them into the fold. In Canada, the Conservative Party started engaging with new immigrants from Africa, India, etc. and has made good gains by taking an aggressive “makers v. takers” argument to these people.
If the Reps could really lock up the white vote and become the white people’s party, they would win national elections for some time to come. And by the way, 54% of Hispanics self-describe themselves as white. What we need to do is to work on creating a white identity for Hispanics.
That’s why you need to pick & choose the votes you go after. The Dems are very good at it.
Screw demographics. 70% of all voters were white, and the majority of those white voters voted conservative.
If the black and brown people who voted for Buckwheat want a fight on the plains and in the valleys, they’ll lose because white Americans are the best fighters on the globe, bar none.
