Went to church today at the local Southern Baptist Church. Half or more of the people in their were over 60 and that being conservative. Republicans have the same problem that the church has. In 10 years a good part of their base will be dead. The pastor in the church is worried about the demographics and the aging membership. How about the Tea Party are they concerned that their membership is people over 70. Fox News viewers are 65 and older. Look at the posters on this forum...they go way past 60 if the truth was told.
Is this how you start a revolution with a bunch of 70 year old voters dependent on government benefits?
The GOP has little chance, as even if they gained 4 or 5% in Blue Wall states, NONE would flip. That wall alone makes the Dem nominee a virtual slam dunk.
Now if the GOP passes Immigration Reform with a pathway to citizenship, and abandons positions on settled law like Roe v Wade, that would perhaps be a game changer.
The 2014 election could be a preview of what is to come for the GOP. If the blue wall is so strong, then why did blue states like Illinois and Massachusetts get Republican governors? That could be a sign that the Demographics are shifting and people are fed up with the Democrats.

I know plenty of young Republicans/Conservatives. You act like all young people are liberal.
And I have seen churches where there is virtually nobody over 60.
The only reason the USA was 90% white in 1940 was because they didn't count any of the Hispanics living and working in the Southwest.
Yep. My Mexican Great-Grandparents and Grandparents came to the US during the Mexican Revolution and were counted as "White" in the census-even though they are as "brown" as the next Hispanic.
I believe the Latinos told all of us what they thought of the GOP's rigid stance on immigration last time. They happen to be America's fastest growing voting block, and their 5 million vote margin for Obama put him in the WH for a 2nd term.
Romney lost an electoral shellacking, winning under 39% of the electoral college. The Blue Wall states had double-digit margins; 5% would not have mattered.
And you think all Latinos are for illegal immigration? They don't represent my family. The Hispanics who have actually been in the US for a long time and came here the RIGHT way are against the illegal immigrants. They have seen first hand of what illegals can do- like join gangs or do other crimes.
I know Latinos have gone 3-1 Dems for POTUS. I also know their voting block is increasing in size. I also know with the red wall being far smaller than the blue wall, the GOP must perform leaps and bounds better with America's fastest growing voting block.

Yep. My Dad says that we know that the illegals screw us just like they do when we visit Mexico.
The Republicans are most likely going to win in 2016, the recent gains they have had show that they have a hold over the democrats
who do you think they will elect for president ?
i think it will be Mitt Romney, with Marco Rubio as VP
I think this won't be the first (or last) time you've been wrong.
