Rubio and/or Martinez will be on the next GOP ticket. There is probably no way around it.
We are obviously increasingly unable to win national elections because of how badly we lose with women and minorities. Therefore, I’d imagine both slots on our next ticket will be a minority and/or woman. It’s sad that identity politics is so important, but it is and we are going to have to run with that.
I think we have to be careful in assuming because we have a Hispanic on the ticket we automatically make gains. Look at the tough time black Republicans have. We have to match the names with action. Offer real immigration reform that doesn’t allienate the Hispanics who are here legally.
