The problem is not who runs for Dems in 2016, the problem is demographics. Republicans have almost no support from African Americans. Getting a small 27% of Hispanic vote and shrinking. Asian Americans also lopsided for Dems. Woman, young? The party is getting an increasing share of a shrinking demographic. Remember how African Americans would not vote this time. They had a better turnout than whites.
Unless the tent gets bigger, republicans are in trouble as a national party.
Who the Dems or republicans put forward is almost meaningless. Without growing the party get used to the minority.
I completely agree. Barney Frank has a better chance of being elected President in this country before any Republican. The demographics are driving the GOP to national-election irrelevancy. The GOP will continue to win some off-year Congressional and state elections, but the White House? Not gonna happen.
You may be on to something.
