O'Reilly argued that George W. Bush defeated Al Gore, in part, due to support from the Latino community, while Mitt Romney "got his butt kicked" among Hispanics in 2012.
Coulter, whose new book on immigration was just released, argued that it's a "cliche" to claim that Hispanic voters are an essential part of the Republican nominee's chances in 2016.
Instead of shifting their efforts to win more votes among women and minority voters, Coulter suggested that the GOP focus on appealing to its base.
"How about for once appealing to your base? The Democrats don't obsess on, 'how do we get gun rights voters to support us a tiny bit more? How do we get pro-lifers to support us? Let's get a slice of the evangelicals.' The Republicans have been tricked into a suicidal electoral strategy," said Coulter, adding that the strategy she favors led to a landslide victory for Ronald Reagan.

O’Really.
Okay.
Her rant yesterday on BOR was excellent.
She held him back and got her point across.
“How about for once appealing to your base? “
You shouldn’t have to spend political capital wooing votes from your own supporters. The object is to get more of the electorate to vote for you, not to waste time and money on what you already have.
Correct by Coulter
So what was the GOP doing last time when Anne’s candidate won the nomination?
“Tricked? Hahahahah. So, the GOP really is the stupid party.
Sounds like a good way of getting your base find something else to do on election day. If you are a Republican then I need a new party.
You make TWO HUGE mistakes there dude. First, it's not wasting money on "what you already have" by appealing to the base. That's just not what that means. It means energizing those who are predisposed to support you so that they'll donate in bigger numbers, put yard signs out in bigger numbers, make phone calls in bigger numbers, and generally create a helluva lot of enthusiasm. And oh yeah, turn out to vote in bigger numbers.
It is that last thing, the enthusiasm, that will create momentum and attract the uncommitted....not pretending to be Democrat lite.
Notice how Oreally didn’t even introduce Ann Coulter. He just started with a bogus poll and attacked her with no intro. Never seen him like that.
Amen, but then, "what supporters?" Why support a party that says one thing, then does the opposite?
She’s right. How about just bringing out the 3 million republicans who sat home 2012.
The GOP does not have to be tricked. The RINOs support amnesty
willingly.
What states were those 3 million Republicans in?
Exactly Georgia Girl!
The GOP has sold its soul to The Cheap Labor Express.
Donors demand an amnesty candidate and the RNC will deliver.
What the base wants is not considered.
Ask little Reince Priebus. Who in our world, could ever have such a name & background, and not be excluded from all decisions?
Shut up Anne.
