Die? No.
Change/Adapt to minorities, women, and young people under 30? yes.
To reach black people - they elected Michael Steele to the head of the RNC, we all know how that turned out.
To reach Hispanics - they said we will reach out to them, then cried, moaned, screamed, and tried to discredit Sotomayor who was immensely qualified, &still have horrible immigration policy
To reach out to woman - they need to become much more socially moderate until then woman are more likely to be Democrat. But there is nothing that shows theycan win more than 45% of woman vote unless Dems put up a horrible candidate. (i.e. Mondale in '84)
To reach younger people they have to relinquish some of their fiscal conservatism and realize some policies need to be done, and cost money. Also must be EVENMORE socially moderate. They also need to shake their war monger title also.
They have not done anything for any of this. While I don't think they will die, I believe they are putting all their eggs in the white male voting nest(which I am apart of) and they will never get the % of that vote they need to win elections.
So Republicans need to flip the coin and be like 60% different.
And the problems between blue dogs vs. progressives is a big split.. BUT it is not citizen split... Republicans problem is with citizens of every group exceptolder white non-college males.
