Why doesn't the GOP attempt to "fracture" the DEM party?

The Democrat party has built a large tent of "groups" that together can win national elections. However, there is a problem with their "tent"... The groups have largely divergent interests.
I have seen it a couple times recently. We have seen groups representing poor AA's get upset with the money going toward the immigrant "camps." There are AA groups that are separated over whether or not to be outraged at Tony Dungy's comments.
As recent as 2008 7 Million Californians joined to pass Proposition 8, lead by many minority groups. Many Native American groups have shown disinterest in joining the liberal mob looking to lynch the Redskin name and logo.
The question? Would the GOP have more success nationally if they could "break up the band" rather than trying to beat it? If so, how would it be done?

Because the party is run by retards.

A lot of the fracture in the GOP is caused by conservatives, not so much dems fracturing them. You rarely hear the term DINO(not sure I've ever heard it), but it is spewed on every conservative blog/site on the internet. There's disagreement in the Dem party, but most still recognize it is better to put party over personal squabbles.

The GOP allowed (or was asleep) liberals to run and win seats all over the U.S. as Republicans.

Reince Priebus is in charge.
This should tell you all you need to know about the RNC.

The GOP has no desire wage political or informational warfare. They view such means of attaining power as entirely beneath them. They would rather lose elections.

Bc the GOP sucks at politics

there is that
plus its policies are not as easy of a sell
plus its backbone is not comprised of 100 groups of single issue voters, like the DEMs. the GOP has to have a coalition

Exactly.
As an example, see the dummies on here who will not support Bill Cassidy against Mary Mary in the La senate race because he is not "conservative" enough.
It's a pretty damn important election in the grand scheme of things for the GOP, so people need to nut up and make sure Mary loses.

My thoughts exactly. That guy even appears weak.

The Dem party cannot be fractured because Liberalism trumps loyalty to a group.
IE, Liberalism is more important than race...that's why blacks hate Clarence Thomas.

I have said for years that black homophobia is a dirty little secret of the dems, and the smarmy atheist crowd is a huge turnoff to Latinos.
But yeah. Retards.

Because it is not time yet. This time in 2 years the Dem primaries will be in full swing. If Hilary or Warren or some other white candidate gets the nominee, that is when you start picking of AA votes (you only need above 15%).
As far as same sex marriage goes don't touch that issue. Millenials either don't care or support same sex marriage, R's are never going to win California so don't try and pick up votes there at the expense of somewhere more valuable say Colorado.

Cause the party is dealing constantly with its own self inflicted fractures.

thats false.. Millenials support gay marriage over a 60% rate.
Social issues are why the Dem party can be a party of "1 issue voters"
Its why hispanic even conservative hispanics go Dem.
Its why women go Dem.
etc.
the GOP alienates voters

Because the GOP is run by RINO's - Republican Party infiltrators who serve to advance the Democrat agenda by keeping true Conservatives from being elected and/or gaining leadership positions in DC.

The GOP should probably worry about repairing their own fractures, first.
