    low skilled, low paid, low education + bottom of the barrel for latin american countries...not surprising they usually are the poor working class here in America. In other words, future base of the democrats! :MARIS61:

    it really doesn't matter to be honest. democrats will always win those who don't make a lot of money no matter what you do. GOP needs to stick to their guns....they may not win in a while though since incomes are down and will likely stay down . and if these illegals get amnestied...good night.

    The Asian vote is primarily democrat. Techies are generally Democrat. Women are usually democrat. Fuck all these groups. We should just let the white man and elderly vote. That will solve all of our problems.

    Yeah. Good for them, but the point is that the key demographic for democrats are those making under $50k a year. They are in huge numbers versus any of those other groups you made.

    Almost 60% of the US make under $50k a year. Of that group, 60% vote Democrat.

    look at the trends. the trend in america is salaries going down...which should strengthen up the base. Add some amnestied illegals who, again, are low skilled and poorly educated outcasts of their original countries....and those making under $50k a year will skyrocket.

    I don't understand the complaint. We live in a democracy. People who make under 50K are allowed to vote just like poeple who make over 50K. You seem to look down on people who make under 50K.

    if you cater to a smaller percentage of americans, you should probably EXPECT to lose

    LAS VEGAS (AP) — Top Republicans meeting for the first time since Election Day say the party lost its bid to unseat President Barack Obama because nominee Mitt Romney did not respond to criticism strongly enough or outline a specific agenda with a broad appeal.

    In conversations at the Republican Governors Association confab in Las Vegas, a half dozen party leaders predicted the GOP will lose again if it keeps running the same playbook based on platitudes in place of detailed policies. Instead, they asserted, the party needs to learn the lessons from its loss, respect voters' savvy and put forward an agenda that appeals beyond the while, male voters who are its base.

    I actually think the biggest issue is to tune in to the Hispanic vote. Many Hispanics don't condone abortion or gay issues because of their "Catholic upbringing". If they restructure issues that cater to this demographic; then it's anybodies ballgame.

    I think you're right. But that is truly the "swing vote". Gays and liberals will not sway away from dems. The hispanci vote can.
