After Romney's loss, the RNC paid for a 100-page report telling them why they lost.

This is it:

http://goproject.gop.com/rnc_growth_opportunity_book_2013.pdf

The document calls for more inclusion - reach out to Hispanics, African Americans women.

Trump comes along:

25% of the black vote supports Trump:

More than half of Trump's supporters are women:

Trump is getting more support among Hispanics than Romney:

Several political analysts say Trump is a moderate on positions.

Yes, he has high negatives due to the 24/7 MSM meltdown as well as the Uniparty bashing. Those negatives have gone down each month with Republicans and will with the rest of the 'low information voters' once they stop and listen. Most are getting news these days only from Facebook or late show TV or not paying attention at all this early in the race.

So why is the RNC in meltdown when Trump is delivering what they said they wanted?

They are in meltdown because Trump can’t be bought. Being bought is what the uniparty is all about.

That was before Little Prince Reebus got smacked upside the head by Trump & Cruz.

The RNC and the crony “experts” they hired to do this ridiculous “analysis” are idiots. The 100-page report can clearly be ignored since it likely has more of the same bad advice the crony experts always give the Stupid Party.

And any “negatives” the US population have now with Trump and Cruz will be dropping significantly as they get to know them (not their caricatures painted by the establishment and mainstream media) better in the 2016 campaigns.

Here's the important paragraph: The report, called the "Growth and Opportunity Project," lays out an extensive plan the RNC believes will lead the party to victory with an extensive outreach to women, African-American, Asian, Hispanic and gay voters. Among the plans: hiring paid outreach staffers across the country in a $10 million push that begins right away; backing "comprehensive immigration reform"; abbreviating the presidential primary process with fewer debates, specifically saying the party would like at least half the 20 there were during the 2012 cycle; and moving the convention to June or July, as well as improving the data and digital effort.

Apparently, the answer is to become the Democrats. What a useful report!

“... with an extensive outreach to women, African-American, Asian, Hispanic and gay voters.”

Heaven forbid the RNC would reach out to Conservative candidates.

the RNC = Priebus, another of the Wisconsin-based GOPers that are NOT conservative.

The GOP will remain in the toilet until some conservatives rise to leadership.

It is not a coincidence the last great conservative speaker we had was from the South, Gingrich.

The 2012 loss was due to one thing and one thing only.

Mitt Romney.

The report lies to protect the guilty.

Losing minority run critical districts in swing states with 100% of the vote for democrats in two federal elections without a challenge peep from the GOP - that is the real reason.

Failure to challenge the vote fraud is the real reason. The left knows they did it twice and they are outflanking the GOP for the next victory. Motor voter, dead voter, same day voter all do the same thing - they win elections for the democrats and leave the GOP wondering what hit them.

This election is not about the economy or immigration or moslems or the second amendment, it is about who will steal the most votes.

WHY THE DEMS KNOW THEY WILL ALWAYS WIN AND WHY THE GOP CAN'T CHALLENGE VOTE FRAUD:

What the BUREAUCRATS at the RNC will NEVER understand is that a campaign, when fully utilized, doesn’t need to merely reflect the desires of the electorate, it can DETERMINE the needs of the electorate when used as a TEACHING medium, which is exactly what Trump is doing. The electorate can be given new facts, new interpretive frameworks, can be taught history, can be made smarter, rather than being pandered to. A SMART LEADER will want a smart populous because policy decisions are complex and the people must be brought up to speed on that complexity. We’re not only behind a future President Trump, but we are learning from a PROFESSOR TRUMP who will raise the bar on ALL elections to come and institute profound changes in how Americans see themselves and how their country acts in the World today. The GOP is in desperate need of a transfusion of PRINCIPLE via a capacity to step inside the minds of a Benjamin Franklin or a Thomas Paine, etc.

It would be jaw droppingly awesome if Donald could open every campaign meeting reading from and briefly teaching from any of a thousand books on the early history of the US. He could come out with a CAMPAIGN READING LIST that he expects every one of his supporters to read through before going to the polls. This would truly begin the work of making America great again.

Only 25% of evangelicals who are so vocal in the primary process vote in the election. And they didn’t turn out for a Mormon. So, try NOT running a Mormon.

..... It is quite ironic and telling that the RNC ..... does an autopsy on their losses instead of trying to learn and focus on their gains and successes.

.... Guess they just like to poke at dead things.

The worms inside the beltway cocoon have decided that the entire US electorate is exactly stable, except for Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida. Thus, the only way Republicans can win the presidency is to nominate a mushy moderate who will attract a few Hispanics and Blacks from those three states and win the elections there. This is a near perfect strategy, just ask John McCain, Mitt Romney, Bob Dole, Georges Bush. It's nearly perfect, since they all nearly won.

Only a few stupid idiots like Don Trump, Ted Cruz, Ron Reagan and the TEA party, who want to win the entire US, don't understand how great this strategy really is.

IT’s more than just that, and you touched a little on it. Like with Reagan, everyone seemed to identify with regardless of their background. YOu see that with Trump.

He attracts college smart Black Americans along with the street smart ones who like him because they admire and trust a successful person. IF Trump wore a gold tooth and huge fur he’d garnish probably 90% of them. I think the Black Americans like him also, because he’s tough on immigration.

The Hispanics like him somewhat for the same reason, but mostly because the vast majority are patriotic Americans who call themselves Americans first and Hispanic second. They don’t want the gangs here either.

The Blue collar guy on the street in Manhatten loves him because he sees himself in Trump as does the white collar guy on Wall STreet.

Conservatives pick out the conservative in him, and the moderates out the moderate, eg when he says, “I want to take care of everyone.” I’m a doctor, and I can tell you, everyday I see men and women who have no insurance, badly in need of basic health care, and no doctor will see them. These are people, who cannot help themselves, trust me they can’t. These are people we need to help. Obamacare has abandoned them completely.

Military, police and firefighters like him for obvious reasons, and I would wager that the Hollywood types do too, why, because he knows them all, and has been good to them.

WE are watching before our eyes, Folks, something really special going on. He’s on a mission. He’s fearless and relentless. He’s a true patriot.

I’ve watched just about every rally, the book signing, the interviews, and NOT ONCE have I felt that he is trying to BS us. I think he is sincere.

He is an American that is from the America our fathers and grandfathers remember. He reminds me of a young Cassius Clay bragging that he was going to win, also of my home town guy Mike Ditka who came to Chicago and said we were going to win the Super Bowl, and he did.

Politician, parse their words. He doesn’t. Hannity asks him, wouldn’t taking no 2 o 3 in Iowa be good. He could have said the politically correct thing, that, “well, coming in second wouldn’t be bad,” so as to avoid the obvious fall out from the press that, “since you didn’t take first, YOU LOST!”

No, Trump says, I want to win, and I think I’m going to win. I WANT TO WIN!!!!
