The Grand Old Party has changed. No really. That was the earnest message from Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus, who took his claim to the annual National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials conference, which ended Sunday in Chicago.
Republicans have “reshaped” their outreach, Mr. Priebus told the group, which represents some 6,000 officials. Republicans get community; they get neighborhoods and churches. They get immigration and educational reform plus economic opportunity. “In America, it doesn’t matter where you come from; it matters where you’re going,” Mr. Priebus noted.

Reince Priebus: give us your uneducated, your lawless, and your cheap labor.
Now we have two ‘buy votes with favors’ parties!
Oh happy day!
No one will have to work! Everything will be taken from the ‘rich’ (by force) and given to the voters! Free!
Oh happy day!
Don’t worry, if we get a third party, well still -in effect - still have a two-party system, as the GOP has become “Democrat II”
Perfect!
Generally speaking they don't want the indigenous minority kids because they have no work ethic and are all but unemployable. And, as long as the government hands them money and cell phones, there is very little liklihood these minority kids will ever learn even basic life skills because it is so much easier to hang out than to participate.
The conservatives in the R party never changed and didn’t need to. Conservatives have always been for opportunity. It appears Priebus and some GOP leaders are disparaging conservatives. It also seems Priebus is openly claiming that abandoning the rule of law and importing millions of low ability workers is somehow compatible with opportunity for success. It is the opposite, of course, and Priebus also seems oblivious to the fact that none of these millions will ever vote for his party. It is painful to watch someone fail a verbal IQ test—but RP just did.
I have yet to hear an explanation for how amnesty will supply large numbers of cheap workers. Once “out of the shadows”, these workers will be subject to the same wage and tax rules that apply to legitimate citizens. Not only that, but they will be poorly qualified to work for the legal wage, further limiting their employability. They will face the choice of remaining “off the books” workers or will find no jobs.
We can reclaim it if we primary each an every RINO out of office.
A third party will do nothing but split R votes and ensure a Dem won each and every time.
Perhaps Pee Wee Priebus should just jump up on the table, grab his unit and dance.

What the hell is a Reince Priebus ?
This where the GOP has gone too far. Through the 2012 election, I was a believer in the 2-party system and said the same things you are saying about "splitting the vote", and how "a vote for the 3rd party candidate is a vote for the democrat". I enthusiastically supported Romney/Ryan by voting and contributing. What has changed? We have seen such brazen betrayal by lying Republicans that I no longer trust them. One of the guys on the 2012 ticket (Ryan) is in full-Rubio mode now!
The GOP used to count on conservatives like me choosing RINOS as the "lesser of 2 evils". However, they can no longer count on such a vote for me. The amount of difference between the two evils is not enough to matter any more. Now instead of saying "a vote for a 3rd party candidate is a vote for the democrat", I say "a vote for RINO is the same as a vote for the democrat". I am no longer frightened about voting 3rd party. If we get more dems than RINOs, it matters little to me. The RINOs in the GOP have overplayed their hand.
