It's a valid question. Republicans have won the white vote every election since 1964 I believe. Romney had a massive majority of the white vote but it wasn't sufficient to overcome the >100% vote for obama in inner city areas and fraudulent voting from illegals. If republicans can't turn out their base, they have no chance.
The party hacks actually think Jeb Bush will be a strong candidate that the base will turn out for. After all, they will tell us he is conservative. Just ignore the fact he has been a big and vocal supporter of amnesty and open immigration and is also a big supporter of Common Core.
I had been convinced by Ann Coulter's argument that we have to vote for people like Mitch McConnell because the alternative of letting democrats run things is too awful to contemplate. Well, we seem to have the worst of both worlds. They are too cowardly to confront obama, then turn around and screw us shamelessly on stuff like this trade deal.
When the debates start, they will be dick measuring over who can get us into the most pointless wars and do the most to restart the Cold War. Real vote getters there.
Sure they will try to scare us with Hillary, but given how cowardly they are and how dumb their loser consultants are, they are not going to take off the gloves and go after her any more than Romney went after obama.
