Illegal immigration and free trade is killing the GOP. Get on the right side of these two issues and the blue collar Reagan Democrats will come back to the GOP. Reagan Dems get it, win on conservative issues mean nothing if the GOP support corporate offshoring of jobs, illegal immigrants taking jobs and H-1B workers depressing wages of tech workers that puts them out of a job. Hard to be conservative when you can’t keep your job and feed your family. I wish human cloning was not illegal, because I would like to clone Ronald Reagan.
The GOP has to appeal to more people it has alienated - their inaction on illegal immigration hasn't helped (though Tancredo is a poor - and polarizing - spokesman on the issue for us), and American jobs going overseas hasn't helped either.
Wait and see.
