Front Office Football Central - View Single Post - 2015-2016 Republican Primary Season

I recall back in 2012 after a lot of losses, the Republican Party had a large survey, self-assessment,a nd the chair had a large press conference about it on C Span. Bascially, the point was that the Party was viewed by too much of America as the party of old white men. So I think it would behoove them to have a strong Presidential candidate who is either not a man, or not a white man.

So to my mind, a Rubio, a Jindal, a Carson or a Cruz or Fiorino would be better, long term for the growth of the party, than Bush III or Walker or even someone I personally like from the field (Paul, Kasich, Christie).

The Democrats nominated the first non-white guy, and he won. They are about to (likely) nominate the first woman. You can;t put Donald Trump or Bush or Walker up against that and expect that long-term growth of the party will result
