And it all started in California with Prop 187, that's why Torie's message is incredibly important for his party...the GOP went the Prop 187 route over the last two decades and the demographic time bomb blew up in their faces on November 6. The Republican "Hispanic problem" started in Torie's home state

A sitting President mired with an almost 8% unemployment rate, 23 million out of work and major problems with working-class whites will win by almost 3% and by 332-206 in the EC when all the votes are counted due to Obama creating an almost unassailable coalition. Only FDR won reelection with a worse economy.

To put a band-aid on the Hispanic issues, it's a flat out guarantee that Rubio will be on the ticket, in some way, shape or form in 2016 for the GOP because they know they will go extinct if they cannot resolve their "brown problem". The fine balance they'll have to draw involves getting their nativist voting base on board with immigration reform, because most of those types fear that the Hispanics will take their jobs

Perhaps the answer to the problems the GOP is facing could be running up margins with the whites, particularly blue collar whites who didn't show up to vote this time and who used to vote Democrat. There is no real reason why white working class would continue to vote for the Democrats in the next election.

Perhaps the GOP could forego NM, CO, FL and VA for a more populist message in PA, MI, WI and MN?
That would have to be a strong anti illegal immigration message.

If they do that they'll have to moderate their stances on unions and accept that unions can engage in collective bargaining, otherwise their message will go nowhere

Agree with you on Georgia, disagree on North Carolina, because the largest growing part of that state is in the Research Triangle, and it leans left
