“6. Figure out the demography. The old, white, southern men don’t vote in great enough numbers to elect the next president. Take a credible position on immigration and stress the benefits of assimilation as the key to the American success story. Explain why conservative ideas benefit the poor and newcomers to America. Make the argument for the American dream. And if the party’s tone on immigration has been off-putting, change the tone and lead by example.”
This is where the GOP will always hit the wall. You just don’t have the numbers. There are not enough angry old white men to carry a GOP candidate to victory. Hispanics do not vote GOP. Young people do not vote GOP. Women do not vote GOP. Blacks do not vote GOP. Jews do not vote GOP. And since the GOP will not change its values to appeal to any of these voters, it will continue to lose.
