As long as both parties are chasing the vote of hyphenated Americans, neither party will pay any attention to folks struggling to make ends meet, who don't hang the moon on their ethnicity, gender, etc. Conservatives need to make the GOP understand that if it continues to ignore us, a lot of red states could go for Hillary in 2016.  Everyone recall how red states like Kentucky and Tennessee voted for Bill Clinton in 1996? If the GOP loses those states, the 2016 election could be a blowout.  Rand Paul fell into an enticing immigration trap--it will ensnare him and perhaps be the undoing of his party.
