Outgoing Rep. Will Hurd (R-Texas), the only black Republican in the House, warned in a new interview that the GOP needs to adapt and start looking like the rest of America or "there wont be a Republican Party in this country."
In an interview with Axios that aired Sunday, Hurd said that "we know where the trends are going" regarding demographics in America and that Republicans "know what we need to do."

Deciding not to run again is a very strange way to show that, as a minority elected three times to Congress, you are adapting to "new demographic trends". I don't get it.

The NBA doesn’t look like the rest of America.
And they do just fine.

Hurd said that "we know where the trends are going" regarding demographics in America and that Republicans "know what we need to do." Why don't you explain what "We need to do," Congressman.

If the GOP leadership won’t get behind Donald Trump, there won’t be a Republican party, either. ...And I already know what 2008 and 2012 Democrat Lite looks like, no thank you.

Republicans should have principals that they don’t just abandon should the political winds shift a different direction. That’s what Democrats already do.

Translation: “We need to change our core values and principles to appeal to voters who have interest in conservative values and principles.”
Folks like this kill me. They have no moral foundation. “I believe in what ever will get me elected so I can stay in power.”

"we know where the trends are going" So do we, which is why we elected Donald Trump.
And, he's quite correct, there is not going to be a Republican Party in 4-8 years.
They did nothing for their most loyal voters while chasing "minorities" who will never, ever be Republicans, so they are going to disappear.
Good riddance.

Our values are universal and should be applicable to every demographic.

Marxios is an odd choice of venue to tell the Republicans what they should be doing to get a new voter base.

Yeah, the “it’s the demographics” message is not quite accurate.
Age and wisdom matter more than ethnicity.
That’s what’s behind Trump’s moderate success with Negro and Hispanic males.
Youngsters have no experience to defend themselves from the Dems and media, but geezers of all ethnicities do.

Riddle me this, Mr. Hurd, what changed?
It wasn't Trump that changed.

Hes a uniparty hack moron.
When you have solid principles and ideas they transcend demographics. Which is why people of all colors and creeds and backgrounds vote against the libtard socialists.
Freaking moron. When you dont spend any time explaining why your views and ideas work, and what principles underpin them, you get these retards spewing their idiotic garbage.
