In reply to the discussion: Conservative Activist Advises GOP: Ignore Hispanics, Go For White Voters Instead. [View all]caseymoz
(5,763 posts)43. No kidding, and it's worse than that.
Look at their 2012 field of Presidential candidates, and consider the one before that was George W. Bush. Note the current "leadership" of Boehner and McConnell. After thirty years of drinking toxic Reagan kool-aid, the people who rise to the top of the GOP are the ones most committed to greed and ignorance.
It might play in some gated communities, but when the Republican Party puts its best and dimmest on display, even Conservatives get embarrassed. They kept a grin a bear it approach to Dubya's gaffe a day, pretending there was nothing wrong with the guy. That worked out so badly it will never work again.
They don't admit it, and they never trace it down to their own ideology.
This is not to say that Repubs can't and won't create as much misery as they can as they spiral down the toilet of history. They're pushing their agenda so much in the states because they know their fortunes are declining, and they have a majority of the Supreme Court, and so can keep their policies entrenched forever.

OP
Boehner and McConnell have problems that have nothing to do with dealing with the Democrats.

We can only hope they double down on this strategy and follow her advice before the 2014 elections.
