7. 'Last time'?! What else have they got but white voters?

Are they going to convince Hispanic citizens to deport themselves, and convince poor and middle class minorities to sacrifice financially to help millionaires?

Unless Republicans throw out TP extremists and come back where they were before Reagan, IMO they are doomed to rely on white racism to win office. This strategy might work in gerrymandered House districts that shut out segregated minority communities, but it's not going to work in statewide and Presidential elections. Given demographic trends, 2012 is the last time a strategy of lying, white racist ads might have an excellent chance to WORK, but IMO it's certainly not the last time desperate Republicans are going to TRY it.
