The Republican party does have a lot of work to do. But changing our principles is not a winning strategy. We need to modernize, not moderate.

The Republican Party does not reach out.

I am a Republican. I'm loyal to the party of Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt. And I believe that my party, in some ways, has strayed from those principles, particularly on the issue of fiscal discipline.

Their painstaking progress on winning Latino voters is in jeopardy because the face of the (Republican) party on this issue is Tom Tancredo. They are caught between their base and their desire to do something reasonable.

I've been standing, tippy- toe, waiting to be kissed (by the Republican Party), and no one has come forward.

The Republican Party is not inclusive.
