Republicans have been reassessing their Tactics to find out why they just keep Losing. And their intellectual leaders have been rife with advice, as per usual.
Take Reince Priebus for example, he's got some sure-fire tricks to put the GOP back in the Winner's Circle:
1. Move up the Republican National Convention
Priebus: "I'm calling for a convention in June or July.
Apparently there are more "Empty Chairs" available that time of year.
2. Dramatically limit the number of Republican primary debates
Priebus: "I would do one a month, this is me talking now."
Yup, last year that Clown Car just saw one too many trips to the rodeo. Yeah
that's the problem.
3. Increase outreach efforts to minority voters
Priebus: "If you have unscripted moments and no relationship to explain anything, obviously, I believe you're a sitting duck."
Sure thing Reince, first you might try to get Wunderkind Rubio,
to NOT 'Not Rush into anything' -- immigration-wise, on that front.
Or take the advice of College-aged Republicans, who are not too proud to admit their Party has some serious branding problems:
To young voters, the Republican Party can appear “closed-minded, racist, rigid, and old-fashioned,” according to a newly-released post-election report probing the party’s failures to capture more of the young electorate in last year’s presidential election.
The 95-page report from the College Republican National Committee, the latest post-mortem from party leadership, paints a grim picture of the GOP’s image with voters under 29, citing a series of surveys and focus groups conducted before and after the 2012 presidential election. The report found that younger voters -- even those considered “winnable” for Republicans -- tended to associate the party with words like “rich” and “religious” while stating that adjectives like “open-minded,” “caring,” and “co-operative” were traits that least describe the GOP.

Who's says College kids aren't as smart as they used to be? Can anyone say
"Duhh!"
Well, even political reporter Chris Cillizza has some re-branding advice for the 'down and out' GOP (and a cool chart too):
[...]
Here’s the GOP’s problem: The party was mentioned almost 200,000 times more than were Democrats but those mentions were far more likely to be tied to negative sentiment.
Gun control and immigration were the two biggest topics of conversation tied to the GOP over the past ten days and both had strong negative sentiment attached to them. And, on subjects like gay marriage, abortion and taxes, sentiment was negative for Republicans and positive for Democrats -- data that points to the Republic brand issue.
So in other words Republicans, if you really want to Win --
just start becoming Democrats. You know the Party that people
actually like.
And this last re-branding trick kind of takes the cake, where we find Drudge quoting Ann Colter, with the solution to end all the GOP's problems:
Coulter: GOP, Stop Picking Losers!
OMG, Yep I'm sure they'll get right on that one Ann,
right after they put that double-deck on the GOP Clown-mobile.

Dolts! Winning involves actually hearing what the majority wants, and then working hard to make it happen.
(Psst! GOP -- THAT's not really a secret either.)
