GOP & Minorities? Can the GOP win without them?

Ok Conservatives, are there enough of you to win the next Presidential election without the help of minorities?

Perhaps you have friends that aren't… 'white', are they voting the conservative ticket?

Is the Liberal media blowing smoke up our collective ass when it says that the GOP is an old white man's party?

Nakkh,

I suspect you are a Liberal too, but I was hoping to hear the perspective from the other side. lol

Actually YES ~

Since the blacks does not have one of their own to promise them the moon, a very, very good chance it will happen...

Also with the total screw-ups that O has done, even a lot of the liberals are fed up...

With the Democrat party moving very much to the left, unless they can nominate a candidate which can galvanize that base they will loose those in the middle. Even Hillary will not get a 95% of the black vote. The black turnout will return to about a usual 50%. When you consider that the Hispanic vote only matters in select states that are traditionally blue that will not make much of a difference. If the Republicans nominate some one who can turn out the base and het the independent vote as well they can win. I know that there are a lot of ifs here. Another thing. If the Republicans run another laid back campaign they will not stand a chance. They must run a campaign thats just as mean as the dems.

The answer is NO ! Democracy is a system of inclusion. I hope wise GOP members prevail for the next presidential election.

Yes, but not when the groups vote 75, 85, 95% percent one way.

I'll be a little surprised in November if the various Senators, Governors, etc., pull over 70% of Hispanic, 92% of black! and 58-% of female votes.

So......YES, then.

As far as two years, who knows. We need to wait and see who really runs.

I am neither a liberal nor a conservative and I agree with Nakkh’s answer.

BTW, the mainstream media is always blowing smoke 'cause it sells well.
