Why should anyone vote for Republican when they can get the same results voting Democrat?
Yeah, they've got an uphill battle: they stand for nothing!

[Paladin2]

The GOPe is busy chopping the lower (base) supports off the ladder to 270.

I suspect they will not reform themselves and will crash to the ground again.

[Tennessee Nana]

Lose Willard and any other liberal who “needs” or “deserves” the GOP nomination to satisfy an over stuffed ego or victimhood...

We’re fighting the products of public education and outright democrat fraud. It’s going to take another Reagan to turn things around. ‘I want to believe that a miracle is possible.’ But the chances are very hazy and may, in fact, be gone.

[marron]

Why, when your opponent is the party of incompetence and perversion, should it be an uphill battle?

Its because we ceded the infrastructure of the war of ideas. Schools and universities, the news and entertainment media.

Who controls these controls the politics. We’re always just hanging on for the next election, hoping for a miracle that will turn the Titanic around while our enemies raise and educate our children, write our history, decide what happened and what didn’t, whats important and what isn’t, and define what is good and what is bad.

The road back to sanity is a long road that requires us to regain control of the education of our children, establish news sources that we trust, and forgive me if I suggest you get your family into church. If the church of your childhood has gone over to the dark side, find another. But take control of the moral education as well as the academic education of your family.

Time to practice saying,
“President Hillary Clinton.”
The GOP could not beat my cat running as a dem, barring some divine intervention...

Ohio is moving to R.

That means for gop to win, they need all the romney states plus Ohio and Michigan and florida for a 269-269 tie with the house of representatives deciding the election.

Winning the romney states plus ohio and FL is doable.

Michigan is the question.

Another path is OH, FL plus VA and something else.

With 109 locked up in perpetuity (Cal, Ill, NY) the Dems start the race with a huge lead. Then add in Mass, RI, MD, DC, etc and they’re halfway to a win without spending a dime.

What is interesting to me is that many of the states listed above are now exporting liberals to other states turning them blue.
BUT the exporting state remains or grows more liberal due to immigration.

[Popman]

As of right now, Hillary or any other liberal have 210 electoral votes ALREADY locked up for 2016...

Finding 60 more will not be that difficult...

When factoring in fraud and cheating...she's a shoe in...

Of course 2016 is still a few years away and anything can happen....

Not holding my breath...

[Zathras]

Blue states need to be re-flipped to Red.
CO
NH
FL
OH

A long term plan needs to be created to start moving more to Red.

[Nea Wood]

But in a country whose demographics continue to change, Republicans will begin this campaign with one significant disadvantage.

So how's that Hispandering working out for you, Stupid Party?

[SoFloFreeper]

Say goodbye to freedom.

[wiggen]

paints an ugly picture.

[grania]

Run TedCruz/RandPaul. The RNC pretends they want the hispanic vote?....TedCruz brings the Cuban vote plus. And the younger vote would be impacted by Rand Paul's very strong voice against spying on us and stupid wars of global domination. So would the senior vote that first got fed up with our global policies in the 1960s.

One wonders if the RNC really wants to win.

The bigger issue is: What exactly does this country gain by electing Republican presidents?

The last two Republicans in the White House were both named Bush: George H.W. Bush and his son George W. Bush. I be hard-pressed to come up with two individuals who have done more to damage the name and reputation of the Republican Party than these two.

Let's keep in mind that for most of the eight years that the younger Bush was in office, he also had a Republican House and Senate. And yet his tenure in office was a complete disaster in terms of foreign/military policy abroad and crony capitalism here at home -- which is how we ended up with a jug-eared idiot in the White House today.

[Flick Lives]

We’re going Galt. The country is going Detroit.

[TomGuy]

the quality of the candidates

Start with that.

In 2008 we ended up with McCain. How on earth? But, he managed. I predicted in February that the question would not be whether he could win, but would be by how much he would lose. He lost by nearly a 2-1 margin.

In 2012 when we had a half-dozen wannabes parading across the primary debate stages, I posed the question: Is this the best the GOP can find to represent it?

Apparently, it was and we got stuck with Romney.

Another major problem is the GOP primary situation.

My state doesn't vote until late spring. By then, the voting is irrelevant because the nominee is already decided weeks earlier.

Additionally, some of the primary states are open, thus allowing cross-over votes. These usually help the more liberal GOP incumbents.

Another major problem is the GOP message.

The GOP still cannot seem to find an effective way to voice their message. The same ole blah blah smaller governernment, lower taxes, more jobs, blah blah blah, just does not resonate. The GOP doesn't seem to know how to address issues. Their message that they do have is too muddled with inside-the-beltway groupthink.

Dems capture the states with the largest cities and they win, plain and simple. We the people don’t choose, they the dependency class do.

One man one vote is a big fail, when the “one” man is an idiot.

[Ray76]

A good first step would be ditching Boehner.

He has neutralized the House and consequently the Republican party.
