How can it broaden its appeal

For starters, change the primary process so states have more influence. Late spring primaries are useless, because the nominee is already selected by then.

Second, a better slate of candidates. No more Bushs, Romneys, McCains, Doles, Fords. And definitely no more it's his turn guys.

Third, closed primaries so Dems and Libs are not voting in open-primary elections.

Fourth, stop the amnesty nonsense and quit trying to legalize millions of border jumpers (who would/do vote Democrat when they can).

Until the GOPe acknowledges and starts supporting the conservative base, they are not going to be winning presidential elections.

Fourth, stop the amnesty nonsense and quit trying to legalize millions of border jumpers (who would/do vote Democrat when they can).

And let's get real about legal immigration. Every ten years we have what amounts to an amnesty. With 1.2 million LEGAL IMMIGRANTS ENTERING ANNUALLY, they will be able to vote eventually and two thirds of them will vote Dem. Illegal immigration is the shiny little bauble that distracts us from the real game changer--legal immigration. The status quo will make the Dems the permanent majority party. Amnesty just hastens the process.
