GOP has bcome expert inideological self-reinforcement. We have lost ability 2b persuasive w ppl who dont always agree w us

Young voters are rolling their eyes at us. Many minorities think we don’t like them or want them in the country.
— Ari Fleischer (@AriFleischer) March 18, 2013
When someone rolls their eyes at us, they’re not likely to open their ears to us.

We remain the Party of Reagan w/o figuring out what comes next. We know howappeal 2older voters, but lost our way w young ppl

We need a brand of conservatism that invites and inspires new people to join us.
— Ari Fleischer (@AriFleischer) March 18, 2013
Our standard should not be universal purity. It should be a more welcoming conservatism.
— Ari Fleischer (@AriFleischer) March 18, 2013
We have to blow the whistle at corporate malfeasance and attack corporate welfare.
— Ari Fleischer (@AriFleischer) March 18, 2013
We have to champion and embrace comprehensive immigration reform. If we don’t, our appeal will shrink to our core constituencies.
— Ari Fleischer (@AriFleischer) March 18, 2013
We must be the champion for ppl climbing the economic ladder of life. Low income Americans are hard working ppl who want to make it.
— Ari Fleischer (@AriFleischer) March 18, 2013
We must promote private sector growth so ppl won’t turn 2 gvt in the 1st place. But we must make sure gvt works 4 those truly in need
— Ari Fleischer (@AriFleischer) March 18, 2013
We should b driven by reform, eliminating and fixing what is broken, making sure the safety net is a trampoline, not a trap.
— Ari Fleischer (@AriFleischer) March 18, 2013
Some praised the ideas, including members of the media, natch.
This message was absent (& needed) in ’12 RT @arifleischer: We have to blow the whistle at corporate malfeasance, attack corporate welfare.

It’s true “@arifleischer: Young voters are rolling their eyes at us. Many minorities think we don’t like them or want them in the country.”

Interesting, but many are wondering if this is Democrat Lite.
@arifleischer Enjoy the smooth, bland taste of Democrat Lite©! Available where gullible RINOs shop.

Shorter @arifleischer: We have to make people like us.

Messaging, Big Tent RT @byronyork: Read @arifleischer tweets this morning. He’s member of RNC reform committee which unveils findings today.

@arifleischer Here’s an idea: how about the GOP stop attacking conservatives in the party, and fight the socialist Democrats?
— Sam Valley (@SamValley) March 18, 2013
@arifleischer Largely because they’ve been manipulated by educators, celebrities and the media….
— Dave Williams (@CamillusUSA) March 18, 2013
@arifleischer yes b/c those given amnesty will vote 4 us. Not. And in the process lose our base. Smart. How abt rule of law?
— Gary R. Somerville (@garyrsomerville) March 18, 2013
.@draftryan2016 .@arifleischer .@joenbc I can see welcoming, but not to the point of betraying the conservative base.
— Rowane (@Rowanes) March 18, 2013
.@arifleischer where the hell is protect and defend liberty? Swear by and adhere to the constitution?
— Liberty Crabs (@LibertyCrabs) March 18, 2013
Not one single mention of the U.S. Constitution by @arifleischer #therealproblemoftheGOP #StandWithRand @byronyork
— C.J. Ford (@CJ_Ford) March 18, 2013
Will any of that be in the full proposal?
Full GOP post-mortem will be posted here: j.mp/142pYGx. RNC will be using the hashtag #Opportunity to promote.
