Perhaps the most important finding of Conway’s research was this data point: 75% want more enforcement of current immigration laws, including 63% of Hispanics and over 50% of Democrats (emphasis ours) meaning that the Chamber of Commerce line to the effect that Republicans are about to go extinct because they want our immigration laws enforced is a bunch of hooey.

The above says that conservatives, who believe only lawful immigrants should be in the job pool, could run an election campaign on that issue and blow away the competition.

A Cruz/Sessions or Sessions/Cruz ticket would eat the opposition alive.

Yeah, if Republicans were about to go extinct they wouldn’t own Congress right now. I think many middle class (and former middle class) voters have accepted that the Dems have no answers; the problem is that they felt the same way after 8 years of Bush as well. Both parties will be around forever; it is a question of which can grow a lasting base.

Dems know they can’t build one just on unassimilated minorities and sexual deviants; Republicans know they can’t build one just on family values/morality.

And the GOP-E knows this.

We have a bunch of traitors running the GOP-E. They could care less about being the defenders of our individual liberties and rights the Constitution was meant to protect and is their primary responsibility, instead, they have decided it is more important to make sure their masters, their campaign cash donors, in the Chamber of Commerce are protected and given an advantage through legal means over the rights of the individual.
