Yeah, there is.
How did Reagan win two massive landslides? He sure as hell didn't play identity politics. Lots of blacks and Hispanics crossed over and voted for him.
You win by standing your ground and making your case built on your principles and telling the other side to go to Hell.
Emphasize things in your platform a constituency might like, keep quiet about things they might not like.
It’s called successful politics.
Reagan knew how to sell conservatism to 'Rat voters. Reagan won twice. Romney didn't and Romney lost.
For instance, Romney needed to explain how GOP policies would enable those in the famous 47% who don't want to be there to rise up out of it.
If Rand Paul is advocating that the GOP explain itself better, what's to argue about? We need to peel off more of the Democrat base if we are to win.

That might as well been 10 million years ago. Our Country is 100% different now that it was just a short 30 years ago.
Sad to say but when the most horrific thing happening in our Country today is what a landowner in Nevada called blacks and what an NBA owner said in private to his chick instead of
1) Out of control govt waste
2) giving cartels weapons to undermine the 2nd
3) Free healthcare for anyone, even illegals
3) no southern border ever again
4) explosion of federal agency military
5) IRS as a weapon for the left
6) NSA into everything
etc
etc
well you get picture that our future is not too bright. And Rand, who I used to like, sure is a disappointment. Should have expected it I guess.
Now if Ted Cruz changes colors.
