"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".

Loudly proclaiming Conservative ideas hasn’t been tried in a generation.

That would save Republicans from becoming an irrelevant “Revenuer for the Democrats” party.

The Socialist Workers' Party (Democrats), now have control of the majority of the Public (parasitic/welfare tribes, and Union-enslaved workers, plus the Self-Dealing Unions in the Public Sector government workforce). Controlling how OTHERS' tax dollars are taken to fund their propoganda machine (the State-Run-Media), and indoctrinating the Yewts with their self-serving Unionized Teachers, there's no hope on the horizon for out-voting those dependants.

ONLY a war will change the circumstance, OR, when the money-supply-earners can't keep up with the handouts, and the grumbling of the parasitic-classes changes the vote.

Surrender is worse than being a permanent minority.

Another idiot who hasn’t a clue.

It’s not hard for the Republicans

1) Fight Back
2) Stop running RINOs
3) Rinse and Repeat

Lol, that boat sailed years ago. You allow over 40 million LEGAl third world immigrants to pour into the USA since the 1965 Immigration Act was passed & this is the logical outcome. Any political party with a survival instinct (like the rancid democratic party) would have shut down this immigrtion flow, but not the GOP. The GOP were afraid of being called names....so they lost the nation over it.

[camle]

yeah. running as ‘democrat-lite’ hasn’t been working too well, has it. neither has been following the media’s advice, or appealing to the elites.

maybe, oh i dunno. Giving the people an alterative to the democrats???? can we at least try it? if you need ideas, ask Sarah Palin and the Tea Party

[FlingWingFlyer]

The way I see it, the GOP already is the minority wing of the DemocRAT Party.

[apillar]

I remember reading these same articles about the democrats back around 2005 when Republican had controlled congress for over ten years and held the presidency as well. These things go in cycles, eventually the democrats will do something to piss enough people off like they did in the early 1990’s and they will be gone as well. I'm not trying to sound overly optimistic but we are in a far better place today than we were in 2009 or the early years of the Clinton administration when Democrats controlled everything by substantial margins.

Results of the 2008 VA senatorial election:

In the November election, Gilmore was defeated, winning only 34 percent of the vote to Warner's 65 percent.

Yes, it was a wave election, but that was incredibly pathetic. George Allen only lost by 6% in 2012.

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

That’s very true, as far as it goes. The Stupid Party “rethinking” it’s approach doesn’t give me a lot of hope. I foresee amnesty, and more middle-aged, white guys trying to act hip. I’m nauseous just thinking about it.

[TADSLOS]

“Shrillness and extreme language are driving away the voters who could help us build a majority. We’re not speaking to them as reasonable conservatives. Republicans have to decide if they want to govern or play ideological parlor games.”

More tone deafness and empty chatter from the republican political class. A "reasonable conservative" is the very definition of a permanent minority.

[DJ MacWoW]

“It's time we asked ourselves if we still know the freedoms intended for us by the Founding Fathers. James Madison said, "We base all our experiments on the capacity of mankind for self-government." This idea that government was beholden to the people, that it had no other source of power, is still the newest, most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man. This is the issue of this election: Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American Revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves. (October 27, 1964)” Ronald Reagan

This just in. The Republicans hold the MAJORITY in the House. The chances they lose it in the next election? Nonexistent.

[fattigermaster]

Our national choices before us now are Nazi, Vichy, or Resistance.

Who Dat? ..and why should I care?

[cableguymn]

Honestly, I think they seek it. They are happy to be in the back seat along for the ride. They get the perks of the job, the grand balls, all of it.

If they didn’t, they would be standing up and fighting. I have seen little girls fight better than the republicans.

[dadfly]

the rep party is already a permanent minority party. it can only masquerade as a major party when enough conservatives prop it up.

the RNC guy, said one very important thing to the effect that many existing laws prop up the two major parties. that is true. and that is a big reason why the only option for conservatives in blue states should be to get out of the r-party asap.

that will create the opportunity (nature abhors a vacumm) in one party blue states to start up a new conservative party.

[Iron Munro]

It is already too late.

When republicans let leftists take over the schools the die was cast.

We now have several generations so thoroughly brainwashed by leftist teachers and professors they do not have the knowledge or the ability to make logical, rational, fact based judgements.
