Rubio: GOP must focus on 'minority and immigrant communities'

The conservative movement should have particular appeal to people in minority and immigrant communities who are trying to make it, and Republicans need to work harder than ever to communicate our beliefs to them. I look forward to working on these goals with my new and returning colleagues in Congress and hope the President will get behind our efforts.

The Florida senator issues a statement tonight registering the impact of the election on the GOP, and (see bold) emphasizing the demographic challenge the party has to address going forward:

I join my fellow Americans in thanking God we live in an exceptional democratic country where our leaders are elected peacefully at the ballot box. And I congratulate President Obama on his victory.

It has been a privilege campaigning for Mitt Romney, getting to know him and traveling throughout the country on his behalf. When future generations look back on this election, I am proud they will count me among those who chose a path of limited government and free enterprise at a critical crossroads in our history. I am proud to have cast my vote for Mitt Romney.

Now comes the hard part. America faces monumental challenges in putting people back to work, reducing our crushing debt and advancing our interests around the world.

In the next Congress, I am committed to working on upward mobility policies that will ensure people who work hard and play by the rules can rise above the circumstances of their birth and leave their children better off.

Rubio is one of his party's great next-generation hopes; whether and how he chooses to play a leadership role on minority outreach is a big question for both him and the broader Republican community going forward.

Marco Rubio's name needs to go to the top of the list that our 2014 political revolution needs to throw out of the GOP. Either the Rubio's and other amnesty supporters go or we go 3rd party all the way.

Not to mention the GOP just alienated the majority of their core: THE WHITE CONSERVATIVE MALE ..

Illegal immigrants do not play by the rules. The Dreamers do not play by the rules. I am sick and tired of them being painted as the victims and excused for being the thieves and liars that they are.

What I hear from the RINO's is let us all have a group hug and become corrupt like the liberals,sacrifice your values, morals, love of country for the cause, GOD give me strength to suffer fools, common sense folks that is all i ask.
