Do these guys actually look at real world election results?
New Mexico Republican Governor Susana Martinez has Mexican ancestry on both sides of her family.
She is a former Democrat, and she is a centrist or center-left on most political issues.
In the 2010 election, 61% of Hispanics voted AGAINST Susana Martinez!
The only reason Martinez won that election is because of shockingly low turnout by non-whites.
Less than two weeks ago, the city of Albuquerque voted on a proposition to ban late term abortions.
Several pro-Life groups specifically targeted Albuquerque because it has a plurality (47%) of allegedly "Conservative" Hispanics.
Remember, this is a proposition against LATE TERM abortions, not abortion in general.
The proposition lost, 55% to 45%!
And these are voters who are going to save the Republican Party?
Mon Dieu!
White conservatives are an endangered species - the Red State strongholds are crumbling.
If the GOP does not become competitive, it wil die. You don’t have to look at the political math to know that demographics are shifting to the Democrats throughout the country.
By carpet bombing the TEA Party?
Why would anyone vote for Republicans? The abandoned fiscal policy, social policy, and foreign policy? What ear would they have an advantage over Democrats?
You picked a fine time to leave me Blue Shield . . .
I.e Amnesty
Good luck that you’ve lost half your party.
Of course they can’t be serious, must be just finishing off their plan to finish us off.
There's going to be more navel-gazing from the Stupid Party after 2014.
One thing going for the Republicans is that many Blacks and Hispanics are deeply religious. If they can be shown how much the demonRat party of today despises religion, they may have a chance. Hispanics, especially, are also usually very family orientated. Both typically oppose so-called “alternative lifestyles” such as homosexuality.
Back when the GOP was the party of ideas, it was unstoppable. Now that it’s the party of big government, big business, and illegal aliens, it can’t win.
so the phony RNC “survey” sent to me this morning was just a gimmick (the questions were so slanted I refused to answer it) with which to pretend a real scientific GOP survey had chosen those things as things the RNC needed to do
I see the battle between the RNC and the grass roots in 2014 becoming apocolyptic, as long as the RNC keeps insisting it already has a “winning strategy” that the grass roots just needs to get out of the way of and go along with.
What is the RNC’s GOP “winning stratgey”? Does it offer real Conservatism and real opposition to the Dims? No. It can be boiled down to a defacto going along with the agendas of the media and the dims, with a “we’re as nice as the Democrats” sales approach.
Christi won because the democrat machine let him win.

Eye opening post.
The amnesty debate actually makes people accuse Hispanics of being welfare queens which Im sure doesn’t help GOP outreach.
When the consultants say that Hispanics are flawless and imply non Hispanics are lazy, people on the right push back on facts about unemployment and support for big government.
I don’t think Blacks are lazy because of their unemployment rate. There are some lazy blacks but many blacks are not going to find work with this much cheap labor being imported. How exactly is a black person with certain educational attainment going to compete with so many illegals and foreign nationals that Rand & Priebus support?
It would be good if Republicans could do better with hispanics but it is going to take longer than a Presidential term.
And people look at that rising Hispanic population, which the 2010 census pegged at 38 percent of all Texans, but only about 32 percent of citizens are Hispanic. And Hispanics turn out at lower rates than blacks and whites.
So for the last decade, Hispanics have only cast 20 percent of total votes cast in statewide elections. That’s got to go up toward 30 percent before the Democrats can get competitive.

Only half of hispanics vote. I wonder if they polled the Hispanics who dont vote as to why. Maybe they are smart enough to know it is waste of time in some cases.

Attract AMERICAN voters minority or not. It can be done without pandering. I think I’ve probably created a handful of GOP voters in Detroit on my own.
Maybe our guys should take a hint...
Maybe our guys should take a hint... And yeah, many Hispanics are a match - but we're never going to get the black vote. Going after it is a waste of time.
It looks like liberalism isn’t the only mental disease - politicians and architects are high on the list of the insane. Perhaps D.C. was built on an old grave site where earlier peoples buried the criminally insane...
Why not (gasp) get more white voters to switch in the upper midwest? Going after Mexicans in the west and Puerto Ricans in Central Florida is as much a waste of money as trying to get more whites in the northeast to switch.
