re: #61 aagcobb

From their actions, and the analysis I’ve seen on the Right of how they can win by getting even whiter, it appears they have chosen to become a White Nationalist Party. I think Boehner won’t let immigration reform come to a vote because he knows the only thing more damaging than immigration reform quietly dying would be immigration reform being killed publicly by loud, racist Teahadis. The objective isn’t to get hispanic votes, which the GOP has basically given up on, but to avoid appearing openly racist to centrist whites.

Good points.

When the GOP loses Texas - and that’s more a matter of ‘when’, not ‘if’, despite their best efforts at gerrymandering and voter supression - I can’t help but wonder what the GOP is going to do. When they lose TX, with its electoral votes, they’re finished as a national party.
