The leading Nevada Republican who bragged that the GOP didn't have to worry about young or minority voters this year doesn't want his party to forsake women.

Pat Hickey, the Republican Assembly leader in Nevada, offered up some advice Sunday on Twitter, urging his fellow members to change their approach to female voters:

Dear Republicans: 53% of voters are women. And we poll terribly about "caring about issues that affect women." Shall we change? We'd better.

GOP needs to learn how to talk to women. Need to know "what" they feel--but also, "why" they feel the way they do.

Tips for Republicans messaging to women: Validate. Show empathy. Use stories (example: about the failure of Obamacare). Find common ground.

7:51 PM - 9 Mar 2014

But in an interview last year, Hickey dispensed no such wisdom on how his party can win over two other voting blocs that largely favor Democrats, predicting that 2014 will be "a great year for Republicans" because "[a] lot of minorities, a lot of younger people will not turn out in a non-presidential."

2. "War on women" is working for the Democrats.

They should repeat it and talk about it every chance they get.

3. yup, like I said: pukes can't help themselves. Their mouths open and shit comes out...

This is beginning to look like a vaudeville act. They all fall on their butts onstage....

Is what we as Democrats must guard against. We must GOTDV! And that mission is complicated by "liberal/progressive" who do everything they can to broadcast the self-defeating, "these Democrats are nothing but republican-lite!!!!!"
