Coulter: GOP Will Win by ‘Driving Up the White Vote,’ Not Pandering to Minorities

Ann Coulter told Bill O’Reilly tonight that pandering to minority groups won’t help Republicans win elections, but “driving up the white vote” will.

Coulter said Republicans shouldn’t be pandering to Hispanics by supporting immigration reform, because that would be akin to Democrats desperately trying to win over pro-gun or pro-life voters.

She insisted that any polls to the contrary are “lying” and had Mitt Romney gotten lots more Hispanic support in 2012, he would have lost, but if he got just a few percent more of the white vote, he would have won.

O’Reilly challenged her and argued that there’s a “traditional wing” of Hispanics that might warm up to the GOP on social issues, but Coulter insisted outreach still isn’t worth it.

I suspect Bernie might even be better at it in 2016 than Obama was in 2008, Bernie has an extensive and remarkably consistent track record.

and they can rule. We can laugh or we can GOTV and beat this hate loving party. We already know the angry old white men votes and a lot of the women also vote. Those who wants to go with "I'm not going to compromise my issues and will not vote" will provide a way for the hate party to win, Ann Coulter will be a hero.

She can start a race war for the soul of the country. She really thinks that, somehow, all the caucasians will band together in fear of people with minor superficial differences.

Does Faux News have a drug testing policy? I think she has been snorting a concoction of Bile, Methamphetamine, Broken Dreams, Bad Acid, Fear, and Antiquated Bullshit; a hateball.

I mean, I am white and I wouldn't wish to have anything to do with jews (my in-laws), or gays (myself) or hispanics (my friends) or african-americans (my colleagues)...

Just to be clear I'm being sarcastic here.

Has it transpired to that emaciated coathanger Coulter that half the white voters are women (who overwhelmingly vote Democratic because of - just to name one thing - the right to decide over their own bodies)?

Has it occurred to that poor excuse for a woman that even the male half of the white voters has a considerable number of people under 30? (The demographic that breaks overwhelmingly for the Democrats because of - let's just pick one thing - student loan reform?)

Has the one-time fantasy of old white male resentment understood that a still considerable part of the white men over 30 could still vote Democratic because of:

*medicare
*workers rights protection
*equal rights (PFLAG fathers are a thing. Grandfathers and brothers too, by the way.)
*not being part of the 1%
*being part of the 1% but still being in posession of a conscience?
