5 Election Day lessons for the GOP - The Week

1. The GOP has a huge Latino problem
Latino voters account for 10 percent of the electorate, and their share is growing every year, says Chris Cillizza at The Washington Post. The GOP's harsh positions on immigration helped Obama win 69 percent of Latinos' votes. Romney got just 29 percent. The GOP's "huge Hispanic problem" was the reason Florida was a tossup, and it will be enough to make once deep-red Arizona a swing state in 2016. "Texas could even be a swing state by 2020 unless Republicans" see the writing on the wall and find a way to make inroads with Latinos

2. Conservatives must soften their rhetoric on abortion
The biggest lesson "from this debacle," says Joe Battenfeld at The Boston Herald, is that the GOP needs to start winning back women. The GOP also has to shed policies that fuel charges that "the party is unfriendly toward women," and one way to do that is to "reassess their hard-line position against abortion rights." At the very least, staunchly anti-abortion Republicans need to stop pushing "the rhetorical envelope" when they talk about banning abortion, and whether there should be exceptions in cases of rape.

3. The GOP nominee has to be more aggressive
The thing that sank Mitt Romney, says William A. Jacobson at Legal Insurrection, was that "instead of playing to win, he appeared much of the time — as did Paul Ryan — to play not to lose." Nowhere was this more visible than in the third and final debate, "when Romney let Obama slide on Benghazi."

4. Lying doesn't work
The Romney campaign's "most shocking strategy" was acting like "winning was more important than truth," says Robert L. Cavnar at The Huffington Post. Romney "freely lied about the president, the economy, welfare reform, the auto bailout, major companies, history, and even Americans themselves. He flipped on every single social issue that he had advocated as governor of Massachusetts and stridently concealed his own tax records."

5. Republicans need to stop ripping each other apart in primaries
Republicans, says Battenfeld at The Boston Herald, must "stop engaging in ridiculous primary fights." Everybody knew from the get-go that Romney was going to be the Republican nominee. He was clearly the most electable candidate in the field. But that didn't stop "ego-driven Republicans like Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum" from viciously tearing him apart for months.

You're fucken high.

We don't have a Hispanic problem.....we have a Democrat problem.

I'll agree on the abortion issue, but I think Democrats need to soften their rhetoric.


I agree we have to be more aggressive. We need to learn how to lie effectively like Democrats.....but that would mean making the media honest. Figure the odds.


This election proves once again that the only thing that works is lying.


And the purpose of the primaries is to rip each other apart. The Dems did it in 08' and they didn't suffer from it. But then again that brings us back to the corrupt media.

This post tells me that you haven't a friggen clue. Basically you bought an E ticket to fantasyland. Hope you enjoy the ride.

If you lived around hispanics, you'd know we had a hispanic problem.

"Hey Maria, my cousin Jose was shot and killed last night."

"Whose birthday party did he go to?"

hard to believe you guys didn't win.

you suck

Makes about as much sense his health care "plan" of Go Wait In The ER.

He lost because he's an empty suit plutocrat and his party are fascists.

The rw's have had their heads in the sand through the entire process and that won't suddenly change now.

I would probably alter #2 to say something like this:

2. Conservatives must soften their rhetoric, PERIOD!

That jumped out at me too but I'd change it to "... Republicans and teepots needs to get out of our bedrooms and stop trying to pass more and more laws to control every aspect of our lives".

The GOP needs to do with abortion as democrats have done with gun control – accept settled law on the issue and move on.

[Harry Dresden]

I'm still laughing my ass off about how the tea baggers lost the low hanging fruit in taking over the Senate. How'd that purge of Dick Lugar work out?

I loved the crucifixion of Olympia Snowe during the healthcare debate. The personal insults, old hag, RINO, traitor....

How did her deciding not to run again work out?

and it was the same shit on the other side with the "Blue Dogs"......i have seen Liberals here bad mouth those folks.....

Just like everyone else.

Hispanics understand that the right’s desire to ‘repeal’ or ‘reinterpret’ the 14th Amendment, enact ‘English only’ laws, prohibit immigrants’ access to government services or housing, and create an overall hostile, punitive climate with 1070-type legislation is not an objective law-and-order goal on he part of the GOP but a manifestation of racist feelings towards Hispanics and a clear message from many conservatives that Latinos are simply unwelcome.

do you realize how many Democrats out here feel the same way?.....Democrats are not fooling anyone.....like i have said before.....they will get up there and put their arms around them and tell them we are with you.....But please.....just dont move into my neighborhood....like i said Earlier....Democrats right now are perceived to be the lesser of Two-Evils.....Republicans say it to their faces....Democrats behind their backs.....either way.....they know how both Parties feel towards them........

Democrats did not drive blue dogs out of the party. Republicans have driven their moderate members away......RINO is the modern equivalent of ******

they still bad mouth them.....Dean always tells me how the Democrats are of all different types and accepting of all kinds......yet when i asked him once if he has ever disagreed with the Democrats he told me yes.....Blue Dogs.... they may as well be Republicans they agree with them more than us......and that kinda sounded like what one of the righties had said in the same thread about "RINOS"....

 

[RoadVirus]

Hispanics are traditionally conservative and religious. You have to work hard to drive them away. Republicans found a way to do it. Hispanics are also proud of their culture and heritage. In pandering to the extreme of the party, republicans have managed to offend most Hispanics and make it clear they are not considered real Americans

The numbers don't lie.......Hispanics are pissed at the GOP

What did the GOP do specifically that drove them away.

Could it be the left constantly saying they're 90% white?

Could it be the Democrats promising to deliver amnesty but never really trying to do it?

Could it be the fact that when GOP members like John McCain and Lindsey Graham tried to do it the Democrats went into a shell and their media cohorts trashed them?

I think that's it.


I'm still trying to put a finger on what is the exact reason that Hispanics are pissed at us. We didn't promise them anything. We just said we would try to work the problem but this last time Obama said he wasn't going to deal with it till 2011. Could it be the fact that white people are the target in all of this? A black president can sell racism to Hispanics, no problem. It's an easy target to hit.

Fact is Democrats like it the way it is......never being addressed. As long as it gets them Hispanic votes they have less than zero incentive to get rid of such a valuable cash-cow.

Good question

We can start with the Arizona and Alabama immigration laws that Hispanics resented
How about the Republicans blocking the DREAM act?
How about Republican English as an official language bills?
How about the large number of GOP Congressmen and Senators blocking immigration reform?

Yeah...how dare we insist that our laws are enforced!

Immigration reform and Dream act will be laws once they are passed
