Just days after warning his party that it will lose its electoral grip on Texas if it doesnt broaden its appeal, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., offered an even more dire prediction on Thursday: Forget losing Texas the GOP might never win a presidential election again if it doesnt change its tune.
I think Republicans will not win again in my lifetime unless they become a new GOP, a new Republican Party, Paul said during an interview with conservative radio host Glenn Beck that aired Thursday. And it has to be a transformation. Not a little tweaking at the edges.
The Kentucky Republican said the GOP needs to do a better job of tailoring specific messages to specific groups.
With young people, he said, he would stress an opposition to excessive government surveillance and a respect for personal privacy. And among minority communities, he said, a message of criminal justice reform including changes to the war on drugs and sentencing laws would resonate.
