“Go into inner cities, go into minority communities,” Ryan said in an interview with the state paper. “Go into communities that have not seen or heard from Republicans in a long time.” Ryan was in Iowa on Saturday for a fundraiser and birthday event for the state's GOP Gov. Terry Branstad.
Ryan and Romney lost the presidential election last year by failing to turn out the GOP base. As Byron York pointed out in the Washington Examiner in May of this year, six months after the election, the GOP duo would have needed to get 73 percent of the Hispanic vote to have won the election by solely focusing on Hispanics--when Republicans have not, at any point in history, been able to even break 45 percent of the Hispanic vote. George W. Bush got 44 percent of the Hispanic vote in 2004, the highest a Republican has ever gotten in a nationwide election.

You lost that election because all you offered up was Robamney. You dissed Ron Paul, your strongest runner, and failed to agree with Gary Johnson and the other Independents.
THAT's why you lost.
Live and learn, or die.
Um Ryan, your running mate told those same minorities that they were lazy freeloaders.
8:11 they are lazy freeloaders. At least Romney told the truth about it.
Almost laughable. Paul Ryan is a JOKE.
12:47 must be brainwashed Democ-rat or Obamalover or both. Paul Ryan came up with Balanced Budget, something Democ-rats have not even came close to in many many years. Just Tax more and spent more. Bankrupt America? Yes We Can.
Ryan should stay in the House where he can do some good. He was able to run for VP & his seat last time; would not be able to successfully pull that off for the top slot in 2016.
Bright, solid, young guy. How long since a House member was at top of a ticket???
930, funny, i'm out the door at 5 am every morning. I see 3 minorities headed out the door on my street at the same time. I've got a minority neighbor who was working 10-12 hrs. a day at his job now stepping out to start his own business. I've got two minority school teachers next down the street, a minority sheriff deputy, a retired minority fire fighter and army vet, and a young minority couple who just became homeowners. Seems your theories are a bit flawed when you look somewhere other than Rush Limbaugh for your sources.
>>>your running mate told those same minorities that they were lazy freeloaders.<<<
8:11 - care to cite your source for that little bit of 'information'?
