Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsIs anyone getting annoyed with Democratic strategists and pundits discussing what the GOP
needs to do to start winning elections again? It's 9 days after the election and I'm still hearing what the GOP needs to do in order to improve their party.
Had the Democrats lost the election I don't think Fox News or conservative talk radio would be having this discussion.
I could care less what the Republicans need to do to remain competitive. Let their media outlets figure this out.

(180 posts)I highly doubt anyone on the left is divulging some secret tactic that the right would never figure out on its own. In fact, the right knows exactly what they need to do to start winning elections, they just won't do it because they feel it antithetical to their superior sense of morality.

(9,696 posts)OTOH, the suggestions they are making aren't practical for repubs. Repubs can't simultaneously "appeal to Latino voters" while at the same time blocking immigration reform and supporting "papers please" legislation.

They are not actually attempting to fix the GOP, they are just riffing off the random fodder of the political roadside. That's how they eat.

Asking what the Republicans can do differently is asking them not to BE Republicans!!

(634 posts)The gop is not going to change its basic goal to enrich the wealthy and impoverish the poor. If they were pro choice, pro.gay rights and pro dream act they would still be villains. The last thing maddow and the rest should be doing is to help the gop win their class war by duping voters with changes on social issues.
