Both? You can’t dictate how a person chooses to fill out their voter registration form. The Republican Party already is a big tent, it just isn’t seen that way.
We’ve just lost control of the message, the message of values.
Some really need to take the time and sit down and really look at the numbers.
The dems did their perfect storm election for Historic/ethnic pressure and they spent 10 to 1 for each vote at the ballot box.
Now their chance of picking up a lot of more votes is small since they already shook out almost every supporter they could find.
The country is still conservative and right now 44 million voting age people are not even registered.
Quit trying to make paper thin choices between candidates and stand on principle.
The sleeping giant may awaken because of so many oxen being gored right now.
Channel the energy in constructive ways.
Check to see if your circle of friends are registered and voting….you would be surprised how many left it to ‘let the others do it for me’.
Well it’s time to persuade them that letting the ‘other guy do it’ is less than optimum.
We have enough votes out there if we can just do the work to bring them out.
The Republicans have to figure out how to get Hispanic votes – period
And they have to stop the circular firing squad designed to determine who is purer than who.
Perhaps the GOP could expand the number of people who like being in the tent by becoming more pure.
Even so, you can’t win elections without getting off your duff and voting. The “other guys” just don’t have the numbers.
