According to Christie, the current GOP political logic goes something like, "the better you do, the more voters you attract, the more diverse voters you attract, the worse you do?" The governor shook his head, clearly frustrated that the party hasn't worked harder to reach out to more voters. "Our country is changing, demographically and economically. Candidates have to understand who they're asking to lead," he said.
Campaigns that rely solely on appealing to a shrinking base of aging, white Republican voters "aren't working," he said, especially on the national stage
he's right. the republican party will only become more marginalized if they don't change how they do things. not what they say they want, it's what they do.
look at what republicans on a state and national level have done since the last election.
restricting rights such as reproductive rights, voter rights. the house's 43 votes on obamacare, while the farm bill failed (first time ever) and not one single jobs bill was proposed, let alone voted on.
the party that's supposedly 'less govt' and 'less regulation' has been spouting those mantras, but they don't follow them. and they wonder why people turn away.
