I think the contempt stems from liberals seeing old white males continuously vote against their own children's economic interests just for the sake of "gun rights" or "gay marriage." The old white male thinks he is doing the right thing in his heart but he cannot see the real impact his decision, largely because he is either uneducated or uninformed.

Social issues have always been easier for the GOP to dress up because its very difficult for them to sell their idea of trickle-down economics when it has never produced positive results for the middle class.

Coulter says to dismiss the hispanic vote and focus on gaining more whites

That sounds like a very good strategy for the Republicans this election cycle. Ignore all but old white guys. You'll get "Old Glory" and his whole voting block. At least enough voters to fill the Banquet room at the Holiday Inn, Modesto. What they lack in numbers, they pick up in the shear noise they generate.

Another tip. Brand Jeb Bush a RINO, liberal, Hispanic kissing, four-letter Bush. Spend the primaries fighting his nomination tooth and nail. Spend billions, making sure he doesn't get the nod. I hear He's a Liberal Democrat in disguise.
Well, that should cover it for Strategy. Coulter is a very wise adviser for the republicans. Take her advice seriously.

I'll see you guys at Hillary's Inauguration on Jan 20th. We can commiserate on why the republicans lost the presidency and Senate majority.
I promise to be a gentle ear.

Well since you asked:

*Republicans support and legislate policies specifically designed to keep young people and minorities from voting.

*Republicans constantly promote policies designed to cut social security and medicare benefits for younger people- while of course leaving those benefits intact for older people.

*Republicans oppose any and all gun control legislation because old white men get really angry when they think somebody's gonna take their phallic compensator away.

*Republicans oppose covering birth control medication (which has lots of legitimate medical uses in addition to birth control), but have no problem with healthcare plans covering Viagra.

*Republicans politicians routinely and fundamentally misunderstand female biology, and intentionally and repeatedly pass laws ignoring it (see the "legitimate rape" debacle).

*Republicans constantly oppose education funding. Well-funded schools and subsidized state universities were all fine and dandy when these old white men were getting THEIR education. But now that they don't need it anymore... they'll happily pass that cost onto their children.

*Republicans vehemently oppose immigration for basically anybody who isn't white.

*Republicans support for-profit prison systems that overwhelmingly incarcerate non-violent minorities. Republicans even support for-profit prison systems incarcerating children.

*Republicans are all about civil liberties as long as white males are involves (see Clive Bundy, Ruby Ridge, etc.). But if a black guy is shot, the police can do no wrong in their eyes.




And those are just the low-hanging fruit. Stuff I thought up at a moment's notice. I could easily fill another page if I wanted to spend time with it. Do you still *wonder* why Republicans are perceived as the party of old white males?

Well you know... besides the fact that old white males OVERWHELMINGLY vote Republican.

Despite all these success in midterms, Republicans have been unsuccessful at winning presidential elections for a decade. Losing TWICE to resolutely Liberal Obama by landslide margins in the electoral college. Republicans have lost the popular vote in five of the last six presidential elections.

Why can't republicans, who have been SO successful in the midterm, be equally successful in the Presidential elections?

There is NO one perfect combination of foreign policy, economic, social policy stands that will create a surefire winning formula in a presidential election.

There is public (STRONG) public opinion, there is the message Republican party send out. This whole "race" thing is getting old quickly.

Why do I always vote for Republican party because I believe in the Republican principles. A Republican nominee does not have to be insufficiently conservative in order to win .

Voters preferences can help Republicans to update the worn-out business model for the 21st century.

Republicans can win as long as they are careful about the messages they send out.

WTH are you talking about? Please provide links to your ludicrous claims. If anything it is the lefty liberals that vote against their own children's economic interests by advocating for amnesty for illegal aliens. Such hypocrites they are! As I said, the constant mention of old white males in a negative manner by your type is contemptable. Please grow up and stop with your racist insinuations.

Every time I entertain in dialogue with you, you fail to comprehend what I say. I'm afraid if I did provide links to these facts, you will find yourself in an even more unfortunate state of confusion.

No need for insults. Prove your assertions that the GOP doesn't care about the economic future of their own children. I already indicated how the lefty, liberal Democrats don't. I didn't see you refute that.

I have no use for hypocrites that call the GOP racists yet they demonize white elderly males all day in here.

Great post

I don't get it, these people are so obsessed with "purity" that they would rather see Hillary Clinton (who agrees with NONE of their ideas) win over someone like Jeb Bush (who agrees with about 3/4 of their ideas). Wouldent it better to have someone who is 75% conservative (Jeb) over someone who is 0% conservative (Hillary)?

The white vote will be in the mid 60's in 16.

20 years ago you could get away with a white vote only.

Not anymore.
