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 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.

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
