Good grief! The Repubs really are just "Stupid for NO reason."

Matt Lewis (rightwinger): "Why Rubio is a frontrunner"

Read: http://dailycaller.com/2012/11/15/why-rubio-is-a-…

A few responses up I cautioned Repubs that "Rubio (tokensim) can NOT save you."

Apparently, the Repubs are too STUPID and too cynical to educate themselves about the cultural differences between Cuban-Americans (i.e. Rubio) and Puerto-Ricans / and Mexcan Americans. Repubs erroneously view those groups as ONE big Latino group primarily interested only in ONE issue…illegal immigration. Adding insult to injury, Repub hacks (like Lewis et al ) push this BS about Rubio in 2016, thinking Hispanics are easily *played.*

It's funny and sad all at the same time seeing Repubs squirming about what went wrong. They're lost and don't know where to turn next. What I know is they can't keep pushing the same BS but just package it differently. Their problems are bigger than one or two issues. I like the one Repub comment about rednecks and hillbilies though. Thats a huge problem but it goes deeper than that. I think Hispanics are in Obamas back pocket now and he's gonna do whatever it takes to keep them. Watch him do something about immigration that's gonna make them love him even more. Sucks to be them but Repubs are yesterdays news and has beens.

In response to "The GOPs White Voter Problem"…

A Daily Beast Reader writes:

The rest of us white men in the north have been saying this for four years; Obama doesn't have a problem with 'white men' – he has a problem with rednecks and hillbillies.

The moment the mainstream media and the GOP leadership starts being honest there is the moment we can start focusing on the REAL problem of a certain group of American men who refuse to accept a northern man of color being in charge of the White House. The problem is THEIRS, not the President's. From now on, when national polls for Obama's approval ratings are published, it would be most helpful to show a national number, then a number that excludes the old Confederacy.

People might be surprised to find out that his real approval ratings are in the mid to high 50s, once you take out the redneck/hillbilly portion of the electorate. [….]

…and MORE proof….

"The GOP's White Voter Problem"

Here's a point that can't be stressed enough: outside Appalachia and the South, Romney did NOT do very well with white voters either. Nate Cohn in The New Republic:

He ran behind Bush’s tallies in most of the northern half of the United States. While some believed that Obama’s weakness among white voters would translate into opportunities for Romney in overwhelmingly white states like Iowa, New Hampshire, and Wisconsin, Obama ultimately won these three states by 5.6 to 6.9 points, even though Bush never lost any by more than 1.3 points.

So the GOPs most loyal voting bloc is darn near reduced to Appalachia and the South?! Wow.

…a Quote for the Day…

"We lost many demographic groups. The issue to me is why. I don’t think we are one comprehensive immigration bill away from winning Hispanic voters, any more than we are one marginal rate increase from economic nirvana," – Republican Congressman Trey Gowdy of South Carolina.

H/T: The Dish

(sidenote)

The fact that members of the Repub so-called "leadership" are befuddled as to "WHY?" they lost is, IMO, further proof as to just how DEAD that party is…smh.
