Washington (CNN) -- Night after night, Republicans are going back to school in an effort to build a new army of communications operatives for the Twitter age.
The courses at "Comms College" -- the GOP's secret training ground for social media-savvy communications staffers -- are taught in a sterile conference room on Capitol Hill. Students are instructed that the modern news cycle, fueled by the disruptive power of the web and constantly-filing reporters, has no patience for old political playbooks.
That's an especially important lesson for Republicans heading into the next presidential election. President Barack Obama's press operation, digitally-fluent and nimble, handily outpaced their GOP opponents in 2008 and 2012. Republicans -- well aware of Hillary Clinton's ability to spark an Internet sensation with a single tweet -- are determined to mount a modern media strategy to battle back in 2016.

If the 'pubs want to win in 2016, put up a real conservative candidate, no more Romneys, McCain, etal.
The voter turnout will be Hugh and Series!
So, they’ll be adept at all kinds of communications tools but have nothing worthwhile to communicate.
The GOPe is nothing more than the biggest cluster [rhymes with “truck”] in the history of Mankind.
Any time the pubbies call, tell them you won’t vote for them because they work for new world order just like the dummies.
All they need now is an ACTUAL MESSAGE as to what they stand for, which so far is NOTHING but more of the same.
The MSM have been doing this crap for years, i.e., portraying as somehow sinister (e.g., “secret”) any GOP efforts to coordinate messages, strategies, and images, and to get their point across. As if the Dems don’t do the same thing.
GOPe still trying to convince themselves that they lost because they’re not as tech-savy as 0bama and Co.

“Hillary Clinton’s ability to spark an Internet sensation with a single tweet.”

Baloney. Normal people barf more than an Ebola patient at the mere mention of her name.
Indeed. How dare the Republicans find new ways to use the internet and get their message out!
I'd feel a lot better if I thought they were developing a message. That's the first consideration. How to get it out is a secondary issue.
Democrats — well aware of Sarah Palin’s ability to spark an Internet sensation with a single tweet — are determined to mount a modern media strategy to battle back in 2016.
There, fixed it for them.
Excellent point.
How about nominating a young (Cruz) conservative (Cruz) candidate who will excite the base (Cruz) and younger users of social media (Cruz).
Hmmm. Wonder who that could be...
Who in the world are you talking about. heh-heh
Brother! Did they ever think of asking their constituents what THEY want?
But, nooooooo....they want to skew it all to their way of thinking..
It won’t work this time. I’m DONE with RINOs! D O N E!!
