Karl Rove to Newsmax: GOP Needs Minorities to Win in 2016
Newsmax ^ | 11/25/15 | Bill Hoffmann

Republicans are riding high with white voters, but need to win over American minorities if they expect to recapture the White House in next year's presidential election, influential GOP consultant and policy adviser Karl Rove tells Newsmax TV.

"It's not just Latinos. Republicans have to do better among African-Americans, Latinos and Asian-Americans because we're tapped out — we're taking six out of every 10 white voters," Rove said Wednesday on "Newsmax Prime" with J.D. Hayworth.

GOP Needs Majorities not Minorities. The slicing and dicing the Minorities to win elections is a Democrat idea—I think Karl Rove is a closet Dem-Prog.

Well, McCain went after the minorities. How did he do? He lost!

Romney went after the minorities. How did he do? He lost!

There's a story in this somewhere.

I thought old white veterans who work for a living were a minority.

Yup. If Romney had won a massive 65% of the Latino vote, he’d still have lost to the degenerate bisexual Kenyan communist.

Sooo - you, too, see the similarities in today’s events and the movie from years ago - “The Naked Jungle”. And those ants weren’t even GIANT ants

Well, they ain’t gonna get ‘em. Trump, though, will bring in the white working class & independents.

I am so sick of Karl Rove. Methinks that Bush nicknaming him “the Architect” has gone to his head. I wish that he’d just sit down and shut up.

If Trump can consolidate the white vote (and he is on the way to getting 80%), then the minorities can go fry ice.

It will be fun to se the expression on the faces of the precious minorities when they realize that that they are SOL.

>> Then the GOPee needs Trump. <<<

Ohhh the irony of Rove bashing Trump on one hand and saying the GOP needs to attract more minorities on the other hand.

One of the errors that Rove and Company make is lumping all, say Hispanics, together.

There are many Hispanics who consider themselves Americans of Hispanic descent.

They do not like the Illegals and feel that they are being used to promote policies that they oppose.

Rove is again wrong. Trump simply needs AMERICANs to win. Race and ethnicity do not matter.

No, he just needs more votes than his opponent. And with what is going on in America today that should happen.

It would be nice to increase the share of minority votes. However, Romney could have received 70 percent of Hispanic votes and still lost. But if he had received just 4 percentage points more of the white vote, he’d be president today.

Chipping away at minority votes doesn’t win elections for Republicans so much as it makes Democrats spend money and time on voters they thought they had in the bag, thus diverting them from other uses.
