The GOP’s 2014 Strategy: Attract Minority Votes, Reinforce Red State Strongholds
The Daily Caller ^ | 13 December 2013 | Katie McHugh

Posted on 12/14/2013 2:06:13 PM PST by zeestephen

The GOP plans to entrench grassroots organizers in Democratic-leaning communities to cultivate support from Blacks and Hispanics. RNC Political Director Chris McNulty touted New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s recent re-election victory as a path forward for other Republicans.

“White conservatives are an endangered species - the Red State strongholds are crumbling.”

Not true. Patriots and conservatives control 28 states; the rats control 11. You can’t extrapolate the Washington DC mess onto the entire country. We are dealing with two completely separate political entities:

1. Washington DC.

2. The states.

It’s completely impossible for the central dictatorship to operate without the cooperation of the states, ie, see the Founders and their Committees of Safety vs the King George Tories.

“In fact, the GOP seems to think that LEGAL immigration on that scale is somehow “inevitable.””

Didn’t George W. Bush essentially stop enforcing the immigration laws during his 8 years allowing 8 million new undocumented immigrants to come into the country. Not to mention all of the legal Somali’s, Pakistani’s, and Palestinian immigrants coming in under refugee status.

The most important thing is to stop the Democrats this decade.

Whether or not the GOP is extinct in 2030 is irrelevant if the spending is not stopped.

Only 20% of ballots cast in Texas are by hispanics.

The GOP wins based on turnout and winnning a supermajority of adult white voters.

In fact, the GOP seems to think that LEGAL immigration on that scale is somehow “inevitable.”

They misinterpret the euphemism when the public says they support Legal immigration.

It doesn’t mean you support lower standards and doubling the number of third worlders imported.

The poll question should ask them whether they support good immigration. Which is banning welfare queens like the Boston bombers and only letting in certain categories of immigrants in certain industries while consulting with the public.

Both your numbers and strategy are solid.

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.

“....reinforce red state strongholds..”
By carpet bombing the TEA Party?”

Exactly what I was thinking after reading the headline. They sure are pissing off the TEA Party people.

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.

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/politics/july-dec13/texas_07-09.html

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.

Prius needs to stay away from TV cameras.

He got on Crossfire and debated two Dem wimmin and because he’s so politically correct, and wimpy, he just sat there and frowned while they beat up Republicans.

Recall his ‘caterpillar’ comment last year.

Which is why for me, immigration legal and illegal is the only issue.

20 million new Socialists? (That’s all they are)

If they had not been admitted and naturalized, the Rat party would be a memory.

They have been aborting and under reproducing themselves out of existence since the 70’s.

Wy help them make up the deficit?

Legal immigration to zero, and illegal immigration to less then zero: deport about 5 million. Another 10 will leave.

And we won’t have a new angry underclass for the socialist party to use in their quest to destroy the U.S.

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.

At the moment I would be hard pressed to convince anyone to vote GOP. They basically stand for nothing. Its the “Me too” party. A much more accurate name. These stupid RINO’s will drive the base away chasing non existent minority votes.

6 million republican voters stayed home in 2012. How many will stay home in 2016?

There is really bad - but not unexpected - news on Hispanic turnout in Texas.

A few weeks after the November 2012 election, a George Soros funded political group opened a state headquarters in Texas.

Their single minded purpose for the next 2 years?

Increase Hispanic registration and turnout in Texas for the 2014 election.

Hispanic Texans are a little more Conservative than the national norm, but any sizeable increase in turnout might push several House seats into the Democrat column, and it might turn some of the state wide elections into a 50-50 toss up.

RE: “Many Blacks and Hispanics are deeply religious.”

Please re-read my post.

Hispanics make up 47% of Albuquerque.

They defeated a late term abortion ban by 55%-45%.

They may be religious, but they still vote Democrat.

DEMORCRATS don't spend one thin dime trying to attract the votes of NRA members? That's because they're NOT stupid...

Maybe our guys should take a hint...
