The GOP's current political platform is:

1) Anti-abortion/Pro-life
2) Anti-immigration reform
3) Anti-equal pay for women
4) Anti-gay marriage
5) Anti-ACA (the Affordable Care Act)

Can they win the WHite House in 2016 with this platform?

They've won on this platform before.

2) Anti-immigration reform
Can they win being against amnesty? Yes.

3) Anti-equal pay for women
Equal pay for women has been the law for years. I know of no politician wanting to overturn this.

4) Anti-gay marriage
I am for gay marriage but based upon the whole Duck Dynasty thing, I would say that they still can.

Quote:
5) Anti-ACA (the Affordable Care Act)
This should be a huge plus for them.

All they have to do is run against the train wreck of Obamacare. Remember this year the employer insurance will be expiring and more people will be without insurance.

Are you kidding?

Can the Democrats win in 2016 without full amnesty? What about with with Obamacare fully kicked in and hurting millions more families?

What immigration reform is needed other than securing the borders and enforcing existing laws?

Number three on the OP's list is just another BS lie. The left keeps repeating lies to divide along lines of race, gender, and income.

No, it hasn't. The one recent attempt to make it law was the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 and every Republican voted against it. As you can guess lots of women got really pissed off at the GOP when Republicans told them they're not worth equal pay. If you're already giving up every non-white group then you can't also give up women and expect to win outside of artificially gerrymandered districts.
