what does this election mean for the republican party as we know it by
believes that this is the beginning of the and for the republican party on a
number of fronts we just talked about the supreme court and the changes we may
see nation is here
demographic shifts the republican party continues to depend on white voters to
push them to victory
the demographic shifts that became a factor in twenty twelve
and will continue and will be even more pronounced in twenty sixteen
will make this ultimate reliance on white voters not a winning strategy the
numbers as won't work lewis
we will also continue to see the liberalization of policy
we talked about colorado and washington legalizing marijuana massachusetts
voting yes on medical marijuana
we see more states now by a popular vote voting to legalize gay marriage this is
the direction things are going we may be getting to a pointless with this is the
perfect storm to finally pushed out
these backwards rediculous ideas based in certain groups and certain areas of
the country
once and for all
and really start to move forward and catch-up on social policy
sit and fiscal policy in some senses in some senses at least on government
spending policy
so were many countries already are
it's it's a huge opportunity were definitely moving in the right direction
in this election is proof of that
they're still going to be opposition
the republic bar is not gonna disappear nobody must change right and it will
still rugby opposition in the face of progress but i think
we are moving the right direction it was funny to me when after the results were
announced last night for president obama winning re-election
we stop and it saying well in in this effort to be their and balance there
fair of bond biased whatever saying the republican party's gonna have to move to
the center but the the democratic party's also gonna have to move to the
center that's not true the democratic party is going to have an opportunity to
move further to the left as a result of of the republican party having to move
to the center
pushed out to the extreme right which is where the tea party and many others
would would actually have it this is an opportunity not for very the idea that
now everybody moved to the center presupposes that it everything is just
even but the egg the problem is we're seeing more and more moves to the left
in the state propositions that are that are passing and so on and so forth this
is the moment not to move to the center moving to the side of the worst thing
the democrats could do at this point it's time to move to the left
rooted centers the best thing the republicans can do if they want a chance
at this thing relevant and they will
i did not solicit but that's just the idea i think that a lot of the things
that were seen in uh...
state by state ballot measures like same sex marriage legalization of marijuana
are not actually leftist things that represent shifts in the country they do
represent changes of opinion but those should be traditional republican ideas
all the school republicanism was states rights it's gone people can do what they
want to do states decide what they do in this is exactly what that is doesn't
exist anymore
completely gone
