RNC Calls for Sweeping Party Reform

In 100-page election postmortem.

Moving forward, the GOP needs to change, well, everything. That’s the gist of the Grow and Opportunity Project, a 100-page report outlining the Republican National Committee’s recommendations on how to revitalize the party by 2016. RNC chairman Reince Priebus said the report makes it clear that “there’s no one reason we lost” the election. “Our message was weak; our ground game was insufficient; we weren’t inclusive; we were behind in both data and digital; our primary and debate process needed improvement.” Specifically, the party needs to make inroads with women, young voters, and minorities, especially Hispanics.
