We have a lot more in common than most people believe by just listening to the media. We can't let ourselves be defined by them. That seems to me a good ground game goal, along with getting the base on board well in advance.

Also, another thing. Immigration reform does need some serious work, as well as healthcare. Like anything else, we need to cut the red tape other than keeping out the violent criminal element. Legal immigrants tend to be more productive as a whole than natural citizens. Illegals less so. Having a strong border policy while simultaneously making legal immigration easier will take away much of the incentive to come illegally. Also... why is that stupid Kennedy law on immigration still on the books? We are forced to let in a high ratio of third world in while holding out on allowing those from affluent countries. I wouldn't mind taking in the business creators of Europe looking to flee Spain, Italy, Greece, and France.

These are days of hindsight and second-guessing for Republicans, which is human nature after a trauma like this election loss.
There are million “why” theories out there, from the Hurricane Sandy effect to pernicious media bias. Wringing our hands over those factors gets us nowhere.
We can’t stop hurricanes, and media bias is always there. Reagan and Bush 43 won twice against waves of poisonous bias, so that is not an insurmountable obstacle.
What Republicans need is a slate of candidates that can energize the base while expanding the appeal of a conservative message.
Easy...
