"Will the Republican Party Learn to Adapt and Appeal to a Changing Electorate?" PBS Newshour 11/8/2012
Excerpt
SUMMARY: Election exit polls show that Republicans failed to earn votes from the growing demographics of minorities and young people. Jeffrey Brown talks to strategist Leslie Sanchez, FreedomWorks' Matt Kibbe and super PAC Y-G Action Fund's Brad Dayspring about how the GOP needs to change the way it explains its platform.
My answer to the question, NO.
Significant excerpts
MATT KIBBE, FreedomWorks: The Tea Party is not a political party. We're not going to run a candidate for president.
JEFFREY BROWN: What do you think about that, Brad Dayspring? Could someone coming out of the Tea Party movement win at the national level? Is that the way for the party will go?
BRAD DAYSPRING, YG Action Fund: I agree with Matt that the Tea Party is a part of the Republican Party. Conservatives are part of the Republican Party. So, sure, it's absolutely possible. Marco Rubio or Paul Ryan are associated with the Tea Party movement, so certainly.
COMMENT: First, the Tea Party SHOULD be a separate political party, like Democrats or Republicans, and run their own candidates.
Second, today's Republican Party no longer exists. For all intents is IS the Tea Party.
