Your "march to the right" is hurting you because the voting demographics have changed dramatically. Black voters, in particular, are less easily discouraged from voting, in spite of all your efforts. Women and racial minorities aren't responding to racist and sexist dogwhistles the way a predominantly white, male voting bloc would.

So do tell, what's next? Is your party going to openly advocate cutting back on the franchise, limiting the vote only to citizens with a certain level of income? Do you think employers should start firing Obama supporters and only hiring people who agree politically with the boss? Are the white supremacist leanings of the current GOP going to go from covert to overt?
