    Holy christ, did you really write this in your conclusion...

    "The debate, for now, should begin and end with asking and answering how it is that we can remain true to our basic principles and grow among these key voter groups that are needed to win elections."

    The assumption being, that your "basic principles" are antagonistic to minorities. Maybe the party should start by rethinking these principles.

    It's not a rebranding issue. Stop being the party of racist, jingoist loons.
