What Republicans have to do now in their own words...

[Chiquitita]

“We have a choice: we can become a shrinking regional party of middle-aged and older white men, or we can fight to become a national governing party,” Mr. Weaver said in an interview. “And to do the latter we have to fix our Hispanic problem as quickly as possible, we’ve got to accept science and start calling out these false equivalencies when they occur within our party about things that are just not true, and not tolerate the intolerant.”

Yep. Gotta quit demonizing Latinos and Science.

1. We'll Say What They Want To Hear - But We Won't Mean It.......nt

2. conservative journalists have...

been saying this for years ... George will, david brooks, david frum, they all agree .. "stop playing to the fringes and become the big tent party again!'

3. Gotta quit demonizing Latinos and Science.

But every other different shade of skin color,OH and women,OF COURSE,are still fair game......YEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeHAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.......


There really aren't words to describe their level of asshattery.......

[Evasporque]

4. ONce they boot the 33 percenters...they won't have enough for any majority...

Bush was elected because they embraced the crazy end of the party...once they did they were doomed long term...

[Chiquitita]

5. I have to say I really hope it all falls apart...

or that the two parties fight each other to move to left. (one can hope)

[Myrina]

6. Maybe instead of just changing the sales pitch

They could actually do some navel gazing and really analyze whether what they believe is true, and representative of the rest of the civilized world ...

[Ganja Ninja]

7. Does this mean the Democrats can move back to the left?

Can we finally vote for actual liberals instead of settling for the "not as bad as the Republican" candidate?

12. I thought we sort of did that this election, Elizabeth Warren, Tammy Baldwin, Alan Greyson,

Pat Murphy, etc..

8. Ass kissing the rich is their biggest problem,

but they'll continue down the same road they have always taken. LOL

[CakeGrrl]

9. But their biggest problem is the soul-LESS Tea Party monster they created.

As POTUS said before the election, there will be an internal war within the GOP if he's re-elected.

They've earned it.

10. There's been a war brewing in the GOP for a decade now.

At first it was just a trickle, people who didn't buy the BS in Bush's first term getting thrown under the bus, and then that grew as the coalition that built the conservative revolution realised they weren't getting what they thought they were fighting for when their team held all the cards.

Then the neocons failed and were replaced.

Then the revolutionary movements started, not all of them particularly strong but they caused a ton of strife within the party (Ron Paul, teaparty,etc.) This primary cycle was very damaging, one of the reasons their convention sucked so bad is that the party was very fractured at that point and Romney did nothing to bring it back together.

Now the bubble the true believers have been living in has popped, and I really think this is an important moment in our history. Nate Silver may have done something truly epic this cycle, he managed to ruin FOXs credibility with the conservative base.

11. They want a "Hispanic Solution?"

Hmm...

[SDjack]

13. Looks like "Meatball" Weaver has no use for African-Americans in

the 23rd Century GOP. Romney got about 33% of the Hispanic vote and about 1% of the AA vote. So, they will work on their Hispanic problem. Going to be very tricky to devise strategy to move Hispanics into GOP and force the retention of AAs in the DEM party. GOP is going down in flames in 2016.
