It should be amended to say STUPID angry white guys that think government took their jobs instead of being fired for corporate profit.

They will most likely need more diversity but dealing with a low amount of blacks who support them will hurt them. When people think struggle hey think black people and if blacks don't care for them that's not a good look for them at all.

Alot of bandwagon fans in America who don't read just follow someone else's views, lots of guilty white liberals and black conservatives if you get my drift.

Definitely if the GOP loses its gonna be a steep battle in 16, either go full in with disrespecting blacks and try to divided the country or embrace blacks and try to offer some sort of plan to assist.

I think if the GOP would attack rap music they'll gather huge support from the older black people who are rap culture as a destructive problem. That would help their image.

Um, Rush tried that with Ice T and got called racist. We had threads here about it.

I really don't think the GOP can split the black vote whatsoever, it's long gone.

Everyones puckering up for the latino vote, the black vote is locked up tighter than fort knox.

You mean companies like GE that offshored tons of jobs, pay no taxes by using every trick in the book and got stimulus $$$$?

In fairness, you have to recognize that the companies and government are HAND in HAND and so at what point do you just blame one and not the other?

Do we just get mad at the for-profit healthcare insurers that had a huge influence in the healthcare laws?

If you can spot the blurry line between corporations and politicians you have much better vision than I.

Their demographic is going to be slowly dying off over the next decade. Who do they think is going to vote for the GOP when all today's seniors are gone and angry white men are in the minority? Talk about being myopic...

Because as much as they try to hide it, we know what they really feel about our role in this Country. And it aint good.

I am not an old white guy and I'm a Republican so I'm not sure if my response is even welcome given that I am included in "anyone else."

Does the GOP have difficulty attracting non-white voters? Yes, but there are a certain percentage of Hispanics and Asians who are reliable GOP voters. As far as age and sex, whites in almost every age group lean GOP. Even the youngest age group is about 50/50. And white females certainly lean GOP. So, does the GOP have difficulty attracting non-whites? Yes. Attracting younger whites and white women? Not so much.

They will show up, I'm always amazed when people start and thread and after it's been out less than 30minutes they make some comment like yours.

Yes, the utter brilliance of your premise has thwarted the local RWNJ's from making some comment about *******s or socialists etc. Come on, you aren't new here, you should know better. lol.
