The GOP today is a tale of two parties. One of them, the gubernatorial wing, is growing and successful. The other, the Federal wing, is increasingly marginalizing itself, and unless changes are made, it will be increasingly difficult for Republicans to win another presidential election in the near future.

Republicans have lost the popular vote in five of the last six presidential elections. States in which our presidential candidates used to win, such as New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada,Iowa, Ohio, New Hampshire, Virginia, and Florida, are increasingly voting Democratic. We are losing in too many places.

It has reached the point where in the past six presidential elections, four have gone to the Democratic nominee, at an average yield of 327 electoral votes to 211 for the Republican.During the preceding two decades, From 1968 to 1988, Republicans won five out of six elections, averaging 417 electoral votes to Democrats’ 113.

Public perception of the Party is at record lows. Young voters are increasingly rolling their eyes at what the Party represents, and many minorities wrongly think that Republicans do not like them or want them in the country. When someone rolls their eyes at us, they are not likely to open their ears to us.

Reince Priebus gives GOP prescription for future
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus gave a blistering assessment of the GOP’s problems on Monday, based on the results of a months-long review, and he called on the party to reinvent itself and officially endorse immigration reform.

Referring to the November election, Priebus said at a morning breakfast: “There’s no one reason we lost. Our message was weak; our ground game was insufficient; we weren’t inclusive; we were behind in both data and digital; and our primary and debate process needed improvement.



Among the report’s 219 prescriptions: a $10 million marketing campaign, aimed in particular at women, minorities and gays; a shorter primary season and earlier national convention; and creation of an open data platform and analytics institute to provide research for Republican candidates.

...

“Over and over our co-chairs heard of the need for an environment of intellectual curiosity,” Priebus said.


The report tells Republicans they must “change our tone” on “certain social issues” to win over younger voters and reach out to gay Americans. But the authors do not offer a specific policy prescription on gay marriage as they did on immigration.

You already provided us with a chart showing the major banks and corporations contribute evenly to both parties. :smiley:

Then come back and bounce the RINOs out on their Liberal asses. I guaran-damn-tee you that no Dumbshitocrat would stand up to a truly Conservative GOP come election time.
