Does he mean gay and unemployed?
The door has been and always will be open!
I’ve heard the big tent GOP model before. How’d that work out?
The only reason The Republican Party DOESN'T look like the rest of American is because whenever we nominate a Black or Hispanic or a Woman to represent us in the primary, the RATS and Independents DON'T vote for them in the general.
THEY are the racists, not us, my good sir, with the fine curly hair.
I wonder in what way Rand believes that the Dem party looks like the rest of America? I thought that the whole idea of a two party system was to have two different parties, not two copies of the same.
Yep, already going native and repeating MSMediot claims about the GOP. Of course since there is evidence he is a RINO like his father, well what could one expect.
Elected Republicans are Democrats. Unelected Republicans are for the most part statists on social issues. Lots of Freepers are for Big Government....
When the GOP stops pissing off its base, it will win.
Ted Cruz is everything Rand can never be. There is a time and place for capitulation, and compromise, It’s called leadership, but until your the Leader, Presidential politics is a Blood Sport.
“When the Republican Party looks like the rest of America, we’ll win again”
but at that point you will be voting like the ‘rest of America’, so what will you have won?
this is a tacit admission that there is very little difference between the parties.
Looks are always deceiving.
We will win when America realizes that America does not want what the pOpinjay in the White Hut wants to give them. America wants a rule of law. America wants make it own choices of what to purchase and how to earn the purchase price.
I decline that offer.
I was just informed that Rand Paul is the future.

We do need to reach out in the right ways but unfortunately Paul talks about doing things differently then lays out a strategy for doing the same thing.
My strategy for reaching out includes not pandering to any specific groups. Instead I suggest installing policies at the federal, state and local levels that create jobs which is the only honest means government has of reaching out to anyone. On an individual level I hope people will reach out to the American plantation dwellers in their own way....or not if that is their choice.
One thing is sure — this language is NOT helpful. This is no way to frame a winning strategy.
We will win when white women vote with their men. Not a moment before.
Quick get a bunch of unwed mothers.
If you are basing your ideas on how people “look” and not on principles, then you have already lost.
The “rest of Ameica”, I am sad to say, is not a place where traditional values and and a moral context to politics prevails. Giving up those virtues for political gain is a poor foundation for governance. I suspect we will continue to see a decline in the Republican national party, its survival for a while at the state level, and then the rise of a third party when it becomes evident to the “rest of America” that governmental and economic stability demands much more that relativism disguised as freedom.
