How is the GOP going to have any voting blocs under its wings when it stands for nothing?
I only hope I live to see it.
They have dumbed down multiple generations and now have a majority, no real surprise really. It will be worse in 2016
I agree our best chance is an asteroid hitting DC or at least the White House when 0 is not out on the links with Reggie Love
Wishful thinking.
We now live in a center-left majority country.
Conservative white voters are a shrinking minority of the electorate.
We’ll have Democratic Presidents for awhile. Obama created a new political coalition just like FDR did in the 1930s and Ronald Reagan did in the 1980s.
No I disagree.
Sure there may be more white deaths, but most of those are retired white people. Many of whom would already vote Dem, to vote to protect their retirement benefits.
What is skewing the numbers most, is the number of regular employees who are laid off when jobs are moved overseas.
Those people are not all Democrats. At least not until their jobs are eliminated.
At which point, they pretty much, all become Democrats.
We have sent more jobs overseas in the last two decades, than I can count. Creating ever more Democrats.
Now it has finally reached criticality.
We need to bring US jobs home. Now.
Romney won “Older voters” (60+) by 9 points (54% to 45%). These were 25% of voters.

Interesting:
Obama won “Women” by 11 points (55% to 44%). And they are 53% of voters.
I still think the loss of jobs is the biggest dynamic, though I will admit elder voters are an impact.
I will grant you the older voters is important, but so likewise is the change in the number of basic jobs.
We must bring back American jobs, and stop sending them elsewhere.
Thanks for your post.
We will not see a republican/conservative president again in our lifetime. We have reached a demographic tipping point. The American public has been replaced by over 40 million LEGAL immigrants since the 1965 Immigration Act. Most of these immigrants vote democratic. Millions more are coming. We are not winning anythng on a national level anytime soon.
I (strongly) disagree.
We can and will win, the next election.
If Palin runs, and with an appropriate running mate. On a simple agenda of American jobs, and US supremacy.
This selling every job to any cheaper foreign competitor has to stop.
Now.
The demographics are real. What you and I wish or feel are not going to overcome the numbers. It’s plain and simple math.
Then put a gun in your mouth and blow your head off already. I’m tired of listening to the concern trolls who spread hopelessness.
Maybe that’s the end for all of us, but by damn I will not go down without a fight and on my feet. We still have options and strategies, even if we are on defense right now.
You might as well be provocateuring for DU spreading the doom and gloom. If you aren’t even attempting to be the solution, you are part of the problem. So please quit trying to suck everyone else into despair.
You can go into the ministry and spread the Word, hole up in the backwoods to make your final stand at a later date, or get out and fight right here and now. But please, use your time to do something more productive than falling into Freeptardery.
We are looking at the same numbers, and coming to two diametrically opposing views.
I say if the loss of American jobs is emphatically stopped, and we start renewing American jobs, we will win.
You hold a different view.
We shall see.
Well, you just can’t keep importing millions upon millions of poor people into the USA every year like we are doing and not expect to see the nation go center/left. Look at California: that’s the future voting sample for the rest of the USA. And....it’s not like this is a shock, is it ? I did talk-radio shows about this situation as far back as 1989 !
Here’s a rag, stuff it in your vag.
Reality is what reality is.
If you know what the solution is, then go implement it, otherwise realize that there isn’t one.
You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything.
I will admit we need to become more inclusive. No question about that at all.
The thing is, to do that not by trying to necessarily be inclusive, but rather to attract those who will expand our party.
Palin was attacked by the left because she represented an opportunity to expand the party in exactly this way. No other candidate on our side was attacked the same way. Only Palin.
There was a reason for that. Palin represents a winning approach for the GOP. For now and for the future.
I still support Sarah Palin strongly, and I urge her to jump into the next candidacy with both feet.
Strongly, and early. To get us all re-accustomed to her, and to start grooming her for the job.
How about it Sarah?
and still true
The GOP needs to start representing real Americans rather than Big Government and Big Donors.
Crap, all of it.
We won in 2010. Dramatically. Don’t tell me that demographics changed that much in 2 years.
We gained on the state level in 2012. Supermajorities in some cases. We have huge opportunities to get voter ID and other reforms, and crushing the unions on multiple levels, draining the Dem ATM machine.
Obama won by fraud, pure and simple. The shifting of 4 states would have meant that Romney, bad as he was, would have won. This has been very well documented at FR.
I question that some of you are even conservatives with your fixation on the office of the Presidency. We have a divided, Constitutional Republic with separation of powers. Time to use it to our advantage, right down to the municipal level.
Same goes for the GOP. There’s the RNC, your state party, and your county party. They are not all the same animal.
We now have TWO distinct election cycles with different dynamics, with the governor elections favoring the GOP mostly, and the Presidential. To win this we are going to have to maximize what we can do at the state level to wrangle in Washington. (see above)
We have primaries. Use that to your advantage in your state, at all levels of races. It is much easier to get conservative state legislatures than Congress or President. Get a conservative, feisty Secretary of State (or analogous head election official) elected.
Voting, welfare, health care, unemployment and many other Fed programs have some leeway in how the state runs it. Use your state to end as much fraud and abuse as possible. Top priorities being voter fraud and crushing the unions.
I’m sure there’s a zillion more things none of us have even thought of yet. One little rule change can steer the whole ship in a different direction. Find the chinks and exploit them.
