The Republican Party of America that was founded in 1854 by the anti-slavery politicians is one of the two major national political parties in America today that has won the White House 18 times to date, the control of the both houses of the United States Congress many times, several statewide and local elections across the 50 states of the union. The Republican Party or the Grand Old Party (GOP) stands for conservative public policies in contrast to its rival, the Democratic Party of America that stands for liberalism or liberal ideas in government. At the present moment, about five different political ideological groups within the GOP are at full war internally against each other by attempting to control the life and the direction of this political organ and machine.
All these politically diverse groups since 2008 have focused their whole political energy on one common political enemy, which is the presidency of Barack Obama. The GOP is internally fractured today by the Tea Party ideologues, the establishment group, the followers of the doctrine of American nativism, the birther movement and the Christian religious rights. Today in 2013, the GOP as a major national political party is no longer policy-oriented in nature, its true leaders are the conservative radio and television talk show hosts, bloggers and columnists and its own public elected officials at the United States Congress are simply yes-men in the hands of these news media anchors who are simply political jokers, clowns and carnival barkers These folks are the actual unelected and non-appointed leaders of the Republican Party of America today in all truth, honesty and reality.
The presidential election results of 2012 showed that the Republican Party of America or the GOP is moving gradually toward a regional, a southern and most likely an old white men and women only party. With this political development, the GOP may never win the White House again in our lifetime if the party continues on their current retrogressive political route and the highly divisive political ideologies that are not nationally popular or accepted in America of today and most likely in the future America to come.
The current electoral data from the 2012 presidential demographics in America showed clearly that no political party again in America could win the White House with the white-only votes easily. Furthermore, no political party can win the White House again without winning the substantial and significant votes of the Latino-Americans, the young Americans, the young women and the African-Americans. The rapidly growing Latino-American population in the states of Texas, Georgia and Arizona may likely turn those states in the 2016 or 2020 presidential elections from their stable traditional red states for the GOP into the battle ground states.
