As long as the GOP is attempting to pander to minorities as the Rat lite party, it'll be a tough sell. I mean why vote for a counterfeit liberal when there's the genuine article available? When the GOP abandons its conservative principles its asking for trouble. For example, not backing Ward Connerly's new Racial Privacy Initiative sends the message to true Republicans the party's not interested in fighting for issues of concern to them and it sends the message to minorities that we're too cowardly to take a stand in favor of the principle a person's race should be a private matter. Either way with a party that's not sure what it believes in, what minority wants to join it? No wonder its been having a hard time gaining new recruits.

Bingo. If they spent as much time pandering to the conservatives that didnt vote for him and paid attention to the base that got him there they wouldnt need so many liberals to come into the GOP to make up the diffrence.
