How will the GOP solve the problem of demographics?

They seem to be isolating their base to white Christians. White Christians are a depleting resource in the game of politics, LA county is 53% latino, and other southwestern counties show similar trends. Latinos don't vote republican.. The increase of latino Americans is expected to continue for another 2 decades, at least..

What about African Americans? I can't really imagine many African Americans outside Key & Peele voting republican..

Women? LOL..

So with their base shrinking by the day, what are your predictions on the policies they'll eventually be forced to cave in if they hope to ever hold another political office? Gay rights, minorities, women, education, health care, the military or prison industrial complex?

Don't get me wrong, Democrats are just as bad at policy, but they're light years ahead on demographics. They've got minorities, women, the disenfranchised, middle and lower classes down pact. That's gotta be a 4/1 ratio..


So what are the republicans going to do in the next few elections to capture the vote?

Go ahead and stand with a party that can't win elections on policies and principle.
Democrats have to buy their votes with promises of free entitlements, what a fucking party you got there.

There have been times in the past when the Democrats looked dead and they came back. Same with Republicans.

Right now Republicans have a lock on white men. The single largest voting block in the country. It's at least 60/40. White women are about split.

The black vote is monolithic. But it remains to be seen if they'll come out and vote if they don't have the option of putting a dark guy in the white house. Besides, most blacks live in red states. They are the least important voting block.

Asian americans are overwhelmingly Republican.

The future is Latinos votes. Right now Democrats are ahead with them. But republicans have been able to do ok with them in the past and should be again, if they can overcome the tinge of racism in a small corner of their base.
