They feel it hip to vote for the Marxist hipster.

The only heritage worth sharing is 100% pure Americanism!

Yeah! American!

Like Pizza, and Tacos, and Franks, and French Fries, and Beer.

“Therefore, for Republican candidates to win back the support of Asians, the Republicans need to present a sensible immigration reform proposal and demonstrate their willingness to work on it. A sensible immigration reform proposal should include increasing quotas for high-skilled immigrants and streamlining the legal immigration process to make it easier to navigate. Republicans also need to stop endorsing populists’ call for reducing immigration to preserve jobs for American workers and help raise their wages. This kind of rhetoric is contrary to the principles of free market enterprise, limited government and individual freedom.”

Some validity here. Unlike Republican ‘advisers’ (most of them gay, by the way), she at least doesn’t demand that Republicans embrace a HUGE AMNESTY.

A SMART APPROACH might be for Republicans to first figure out what Asians really want for immigration, and see just what the base would tolerate. Something like making it easier to bring elderly relatives over might go over very well, and might not be very costly, if we put most of the cost on the Asians (who often do have the money), rather than the government.

Making some attempt to reach them on immigration is probably a good idea considering that Democrats are SITTING DUCKS when it comes to education, and their support of racial quotas that are keeping perfectly qualified Asian kids out of top schools, so that black/Hispanics can intend take their place. They are WIDE OPEN on this issue, but Republicans seem TOO STUPID to figure this out.

any GOP candidate who wishes to have a serious shot at the White House simply cannot continue ignoring the Asian voting block

Rubbish.

In 2012, whites were 74% of the voters, blacks 13%, hispanics 8% and asians 3%. If every black, every hispanic, and every asian voted communist, that would be 24% of the total vote.

Willard M. Romney won 59% of the white vote.

If the GOP would concentrate on increasing it's share of the white vote (every percent increase cancels 3% of the minority vote) they would never lose another election.

I don't care one iota for any of those things. I like corn and steak.

This is something I don’t understand

It's simple. They hate whites.

“There are 18 million Asians in the U.S., representing almost 6% of the U.S. total population”

...and by the way, those are NOT numbers to sneeze at and can easily turn many national elections. Blacks, after all, are only about twice this number - yet we pander like crazy to them and get NOTHING IN RETURN for it.

Why the qualifier? It's in their self-interest no matter how defined, and financial isn't even the top vote getter. Freedom and Constitutional government, for example, is more important than money

But tearing down YT and everything he has built is even more important.

If you are white, you really have to quit defining what is in blacks, hispanics, and asians best interest.

They can do that on their own, and they are doing so.

Oh, no! the GOP gets a lot for pandering to blacks. It depresses the white turnout by enough to cost them many elections.

White women are not voting for republicans. When you lose white women you lose the race.

No. Like Rutherford B. Hayes, Thomas Edison, Stonewall Jackson, Wade Phillips, Frederick Douglass, Jerry Falwell, Strom Thurmond, Nathan Bedford Forrest and others, I'm a teetotaler. I don't force my abstience beliefs on others but am coming clean since you asked.

Actually you mean Republican ‘advisers’ (most of them gay, by the way) get a lot from pandering to blacks - since it helps them with their REAL AGENDA.

Yes, but Jim there is a fairly good percentage of Whites in these groups. Look at the leadership of the U. S. and what they are allowing.

McConnell, Boehner, and six years ago Bush...

This is just suicidal.

And even if we were talking “Blacks” for instance, can’t they figure out what Islam is all about?

Every White woman I know votes Republican. Of course, I live in Tennessee. I’m sure that has a lot to do with it.
