The population is always changing. Right now the Republicas are doing better than I don't know when in terms of % of GOP vs. DEM. If the population is becoming more minority based, the GOP will have to come up with policies that attract them, or package their policies in such a way that attracts them.
Bush lost the Hispanic vote something like 61 to 32 (don't remember actual numbers, but a huge difference); now he's behind in the Hispanic vote by 9. So it is possible for the GOP to make inroads in minority populations. A similar improvement, and Hispanice vote would be in favor of the Republicas, so the more Hispanics that voted, the better!
I don't buy the notion that the Republic party is doomed to not win a national election.
I don't either. All we have to do is become more like the Democrat party, which we're doing. I can't say that I like it, though.
Agree. I am a second-generation Italian-American. All of my mother's and father's siblings were Democrats. All of my five brothers and sisters are Republicans. It doesn't take long folks. Unless you assume the brainwashed will either stay that way forever (some groups do) or are just stupid (most aren't).

I don't either & I don't buy into the notion that the Dims have a lock on the Hispanic vote.
