The Tea Party has shattered the Republican party into pieces. There is no Unity. You have the majority that are moderate Republicans--then you've got the right or should I say Reich wing of the party that has cost Republicans the election in 2012 and now 2016. It's out of ignorance of what government can and cannot do.
A great article describing why Mitt Romney lost in 2012 is here:
Why Romney Lost And Republicans Keep Losing
In 2012 the Evangelical wing of the party decided to make their platform about abortion. Of course abortion is a 45 year old settled U.S. Supreme court issue, but for some reason they still think it's a political one. This of course then went into who's not going to pay for birth control pills, and what was legal legitimate rape questions, that were always answered by an ancient white male Republican. This sent women, the largest voting block in this country, running into Barack Obama's column by double digits, younger women by 36 points. Basically they were "offended" into giving Barack Obama a 2nd term.
The GOP's woman problem goes beyond Trump
Gender Gap in 2012 Vote Is Largest in Gallup's History
In 2016, it's another large voting block that Republicans need, Hispanics. 17% of the population or 23 million Latino's have been "offended" into voting for Hillary Clinton. Of course in 2012, one of the platform topics was immigration/deporation and Romney only captured 27% of this block. The last Republican President to win was G. W Bush and he captured 44% of this block. The GOP nominee, since Reagan has had to capture at least 40% of this block to win the White House. This year it's 46%. Trump is polling at a Negative 80% with this block.
GOP Win Will Need More Than 40 Percent Of Latino 2016 Vote, Says Study
Latino conservatives: If Donald Trump is the nominee, we will not work to elect him
Poll: 75% of Latinos Have Negative View of Donald Trump
The Tea Party, is lead by Mr. Talent on loan from Gawwwwddd-d Rush Limbaugh and all the other right wing talk show hosts that fill their audiences with 3 or more daily hours of right wing hyperbole for political entertainment and profits. They promote candidates based on this hyperbole, such as Ted Cruz a Canadian born candidate, that would be certain to be challenged on his eligibility. He is too far right to win a National election. Women nor Independents would vote for him. They have promoted Donald Trump to their audiences, another one that could not possibly win the White House, and is really only good at driving people off. These right wing talk shows hosts have incited this anger within the Republican party, and exploited this ignorance and bigotry.
In order to save the Republican party, the Tea Party and their leaders must be crushed. Hillary Clinton must win in a landslide election. Otherwise the next Republican President hasn't been born yet.
I’ll Take Hillary Clinton Over Donald Trump
