"Republicans will be locked into a permanent minority at the national level unless we seriously rethink our approach.”"

No disagreement. Embracing emotional thinkers is going to take some planning and strong efforts to develop the proper "stories".

Ding Ding Ding, we have a winner!!



In actuality it is a coalition of emotional thinkers, takers, and deviants. This is the reality of the modern American system.

So, yes, we need better stories. Maybe with babies or puppies, and backed by pretty Hollywood starlets that seem ‘cool’ for going against the Hollywood/Higher Education groupthink. That would reach the low information voters.

But to appeal to the takers, you gotta be a bigger ATM machine than the democrats are. The party that promises the most gravy is gonna drive the taker's gravy train. Who’s gonna win an election against Santa Claus otherwise???

The deviants are a lost cause, unless the RNC wants to champion an equal rights amendment for them (but if they did, where would it stop? What about the male deviants that want to marry a whole school of male goldfish? Don't they have rights, too?)

Take one of the legs off of the democrat’s stool, and it will fall. But are we willing to dumb down the message (and spend the time doing the planning and the strong effort necessary), or sell our souls in the process of getting back power?

If people think Reagan style conservatism is gonna make a comeback any time soon, they probably also think Hannity is a conservative, Ann Coulter is gonna back somebody other than Christie, and that the RNC has a clue…
