That's what Rubio wants as well.
Fact is, demographic changes haven't exactly been in our favor. Rubio is a solid conservative --except when it comes to immigration. And while we can agree or disagree, what Rubio wants to do is take the immigration issue off the table so that the Democrats can't co-opt it. He's trying to save conservatism by making it palatable to non-white voters --voters who will decide elections.
This isn't 1980 anymore. Getting 59% of the white vote just doesn't cut it these days. We've got to draw others in. This is what Rubio is trying to do
The GOPe will lose more votes than gain them by rewarded foreign invading criminals at the expense of American citizens.
Then maybe we need to draw others in the way Reagan suggested — don’t give up your principles to bring them in but welcome all who share your principles. That is how Reagan’s big tent worked. It seems that too many Rockefeller republicans have already decided that Ronald Reagan’s conservative principles are dead and want to convince us we need adopt the ways of the socialists in order to “win.”
Well I can tell you that you will lose more in principled people then you will ever gain in democrats. If you don’t present a contrast and give an alternative to their stupidity, the candidate running commie-lite will always come in second. Just ask Mitt Romney perhaps he’ll tell you why he could not run against Obama.
