given demographics it would drive Republicans into extinction. And I don't think there's much of a liklihood of them risking their racist base for the small percentage of dupes it might get them. They've painted themselves into a corner.

There will be voices in the republican party who wish to reach out to other demographics but I fear they will be dismissed. In fact, there will be those who will argue Romney wasn't tough enough and that he did not truly radicalize and mobilize his "white" base. Sadly. I think they have a ways to go before they learn this lesson.

For everyone else, the sailer strategy is simply: the republican party should give up on everyone except angry white people. It is Nixon's pitch made explicit and hyped up on 'roids. It is "fuck it we really are the White Power Party".

Thanks.

And yes that is what they are doing and have done and it is a losing game unless they really go all in on it and then we get overt fascism.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., told Jonathan Martin of Politico that “if we lose this election there is only one explanation — demographics.”

“If I hear anybody say it was because Romney wasn’t conservative enough I’m going to go nuts,” Graham said. “We’re not losing 95 percent of African-Americans and two-thirds of Hispanics and voters under 30 because we’re not being hard-ass enough.”

What could have possibly given the impression the republics were going to stop lying?

If I had to make a prediction, I'd guess they're going to go full-on ultra-mega-pinocchio-zorb strategy. Keep in mind, the bigger R-money's lies, the better he did.
