What is the best strategy for the GOP going forward?

[DC Al Fine]

Diversity. Assuming demographic trends continue (a big if, I know), the Mississippi strategy only postpones the inevitable. Here is a more detailed version of my Diversity strategy

1) Moderation on economic issues
While many have suggested that social moderation is key to the GOP doing better with minorities, I think economic moderation is more important. Right now social conservatism is the only thing for Hispanics in the GOP since the Republicans offer basically nothing to the working class.

In the 2012 Presidential election, home owners and married couples voted more GOP than the population at large. Indeed the marriage gap is much larger than the gender gap that the media loves to discuss. The GOP should therefore do everything they can to encourage home ownership and family formation. This should include attacking restrictive planning laws, tax incentives for marriage and children, and tax credits to encourage hiring young people.

2) Change which social issues are emphasized
The most common line you hear about appealing to minorities is that the GOP must moderate on social issues. However, there are also many poorer whites who vote mainly on social issues. Turning into a European conservative party will send those voters back to the Democrats. The GOP should instead moderate on some of their losing issues (marijuana, gay marriage, immigration), while holding the line on issues that help them or mobilize activists (gun control, abortion etc.)

3) Undercut Democratic ethnic appeals
The Conservative Party of Canada had a great deal of success with Asian voters in part due to ad campaigns that aligned immigrant values (hard work, family comes first etc.) with the Conservative Party. At the same time, they sought to undermine the Liberals and NDP by insinuating the they were all a bunch of BoBo. The slogan said it all "Isn't it time we voted our values?" The GOP could find similar success with Asian voters by duplicating this strategy.

Here's an example of the ads for those who are interested.
