“Republicans have a major challenge in presidential elections,” Ayres said Tuesday in Washington during a breakfast sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor. “There's something fundamentally different about presidential electorates that my party needs to resolve in order to elect a president in 2016.”

That challenge comes down to demographics, Ayres said. And while that narrative isn't new, the strategist put a finer point on it with some numbers:

The percentage of white voters in presidential elections has declined between 2 percent and 4 percent in every race since 1996.
If the trend holds in 2016, the Republican nominee will need to win 31 percent of the non-white vote, or nearly double the 17 percent that Romney captured.
If the GOP nominee wins just 17 percent among minority votes in 2016, he or she will need to capture 65 percent of the white vote, a level no Republican candidate has reached since Ronald Reagan in 1984.
To capture the White House in 2016, the Republican nominee needs to win about 45 percent of Hispanic voters. Romney won 27 percent.

I dont think this can be done.

No, the repubs win the white house by winning the WOMEN vote, and they only get the women vote by going far RIGHT.

it's that simple, the last 4 times they won the women vote, they cleaned up in elections.  THis RINO bullhit makes the REAL mama grizzlies sit out elections, remember?  Palin was blaming man for climate change and allowing amnesty cities in her state, so she's not an actual conservative woman.
