Republican Overreach
Since the end of World War II, Republicans devise a way to limit their opposition, which in the end hurts the Republican party. After Roosevelt's four terms, the Republicans pushed for an amendment to limit the president to two terms. I believe that Eisenhower and Regan would have been elected to a third term. In order to make inroads in the South, the Republicans devised the Southern strategy to get the Southern white vote. It put the Republican party on the wrong side of history. The party lost the black vote, which was heretofore solidly Republican. The Republican party to an extreme position on immigration, which caused it to lose the Hispanic vote. The Republicans are attempting to go back in time on women's rights, alienating another larger demographic of voters. If the Republican Party continues on this track, they will be an all white party of the rich or evangelical Christians. It is not a winning strategy.
