Ann Coulter told Bill OReilly tonight that pandering to minority groups wont help Republicans win elections, but driving up the white vote will.
Coulter said Republicans shouldnt be pandering to Hispanics by supporting immigration reform, because that would be akin to Democrats desperately trying to win over pro-gun or pro-life voters.
She insisted that any polls to the contrary are lying and had Mitt Romney gotten lots more Hispanic support in 2012, he would have lost, but if he got just a few percent more of the white vote, he would have won.
OReilly challenged her and argued that theres a traditional wing of Hispanics that might warm up to the GOP on social issues, but Coulter insisted outreach still isnt worth it.

Those who wants to go with "I'm not going to compromise my issues and will not vote" will provide a way for the hate party to win, Ann Coulter will be a hero.

Does Faux News have a drug testing policy? I think she has been snorting a concoction of Bile, Methamphetamine, Broken Dreams, Bad Acid, Fear, and Antiquated Bullshit; a hateball.

Just to be clear I'm being sarcastic here.
Has it transpired to that emaciated coathanger Coulter that half the white voters are women (who overwhelmingly vote Democratic because of - just to name one thing - the right to decide over their own bodies)?
Has it occurred to that poor excuse for a woman that even the male half of the white voters has a considerable number of people under 30? (The demographic that breaks overwhelmingly for the Democrats because of - let's just pick one thing - student loan reform?)
Has the one-time fantasy of old white male resentment understood that a still considerable part of the white men over 30 could still vote Democratic because of:
*medicare
*workers rights protection
*equal rights (PFLAG fathers are a thing. Grandfathers and brothers too, by the way.)
*not being part of the 1%
*being part of the 1% but still being in posession of a conscience?
