look at the engine broke hospital in cambridge it is not providing much better services because of the changes we have made. i look at what he says about the freedom of information request but i think it's important that we have the health service that can access the best of both public and private, involuntary. >> it's good news the prime minister has apparently resuscitated plans for a recall bill but can he confirm he intends to push ahead with a genuine system of recall and not fall back on the deputy premise of the which has been widely discredited which is recall in name only and which wouldn't empower those in any meaningful sense at all? >> i fear it will be difficult to satisfy my honorable friend on this point. i think we should proceed taking the draft, taking that as a starting point for what i think would be an excellent report, reform we committed to in our manifesto although it was committed to in the coalition agreement and that is to say

>> republican pollster so the lack of relationship with latino voters is a problem that needs to be fixed. he took part in an american university discussion on friday focusing on their voting behaviors. this is one hour and 10 minutes. >> good morning. welcome back to the second panel. thank you all for being here. we heard this morning in the first panel about some of the data that challenges the republican party and reaching out to latinos. we have a second panel with campaign strategists and commentators who talk about some of the strategies that they might suggest. georgia,g the panel,

to my immediate left. his political editor for abc news univision. he was a staff writer for "the hill," talking about congress and the 2012 presidential campaign. he also writes for fusion, a latinos in targeting the united states. he writes about international, national, and state-level politics and policies affecting the latino community. next to jordan is glen bolger from a national political and public opinion research firm whose clients include leading political figures, fortune 500 companies, major associations. he has been a pollster for many successful candidates. has governors and more than 75 members of congress.

he's a proud graduate of american university. leslie sanchez. ohe's the founder of the impact group that looks at groups affecting latino women. the first is "you've come a long way maybe." she has served as deputy press secretary to the republican national committee and has appeared on a wide range of major media outlets and is published in multiple national news sources. at the far end of the table is the president of the winston group, a d.c. strategic planning and research firm. he has been through tedious advisor to house republican leadership including newt gingrich and the current speaker john banner. ofe originated the concept

the security mom and has developed the narrative for the 2010 election cycle. >> thank you. thank you to everyone for coming and are excellent panel for being here. after 2012, all the problems the republican party has faced with latino voters really came to a head and all the problem's are evident. the harder part is trying to figure out how to fix those problems. i will not talk too long and then it will turn it over to our panelists here. let's go down the line and we can talk for a few minutes and get some introductory remarks and then we can move onto questions and i would love to involve you guys in the audience at the end. >> thanks for having me on the panel today. always happy to come back and help out american university. i had a great experience here and i would not be where i am today and politics if it were not for my experience and

opportunities here between classes, and extracurriculars so i'm always excited to come back. very shorther a presentation, believe it or not, for a pollster, a three page a slide on why it is so important for republicans to fix the latino problem. i want to make it clear from the start that i come from the this is thethat republican party's problem with latinos, not latinos problem with the republican party and its up to the party to fix the problems because we are the ones who created the problem. what i want to do is take you through some short, quick data slides. going back to 2000, you can see how the latino vote has grown and how, at the same time that it is growing, republicans are doing worse. the number in parentheses is the percent of the electorate that

hispanic voters made up that year. in 2000 and 2002, there were approximately 7% of the inctorate growing to 10% 2012 and you can see based on the exit polls how republican candidates did both for president and nationally on the exit polling for congress as well. we certainly had our ups and downs but more downs recently than up. involvedlie was very in the 2004 campaign so that would help explain why and george w. bush made it a major priority but now we're down to the point where we'll me have for both mitt romney and republicans nationally in the congressional races.

this is basically what i call the republican math problem. we have to adapt or continually lose national elections. why wewait to talk about are struggling to make this choice but if you look at how the math works, you can see we have no choice but to improve with hispanic voters. african-americans made up 13% of the electorate and six percent 93% forere mitt romney, obama. that means romney got 0.8% of his total vote from african-americans. you look at that and say we really need to improve with african-americans but the challenge to that clearly is -- i don't know if you guys know this, but he's african-american. toon't know that it's going be a very easy bond to break. i think it's going to be very difficult. to 0.8%.wn 12.1%

that is two point seven percent and obama got 7.1% of the total came from hispanics. suddenly we are down 19.2% for obama. you see the obama cumulative to 3.5%.then down when you factor all minorities, we are down and we are talking about 28% of the electorate. it's like a basketball game where your team starts out partially into the second quarter and you're losing by 17.5 points. let me tell you it's a heart water -- it's a lot harder to come back and politics than it is in basketball. hopefully american with the big game tomorrow does not drop down by 17 points. it means hopefully there is something on the screen.

votersmney won white 51-39. the vote even% of when you got minorities, he needed 63%. if hispanics are 11% of the electorate in 2016, whites are theof the electorate and republican candidate does not improve with minorities and then the republican will have to do 4.5 points better with whites than romney did in 2012 to win. 51-30 was white getting nine doing incredibly well. given that whites are a shrinking pool and the hispanic number is increasing, there is no other option for the republican party but to improve with hispanic voters. i will and there and i look forward to the q and a. the lbjreminds me of

quote, nothing focuses the mind like a hanging. worst off, it's an honor and privilege to be here. i'm very appreciative of american university taking on not only the institute really looking at what i believe is the new normal in terms of demography and elections. if you care about elections and politics come you need to be immersed in the latino vote and how dynamic it is shifting the socially, economically, politically. there is a reason that many national journalists and many researchers are going towards the west. just recently i moved to the west coast because there are so many transformations happening that really are going to dictate where the pollsters, researchers, analysts, where we start looking to meet these problems. latino vote is very

.rustrating as a republican for the last 10 presidential elections, they have earned about 31% of the vote. that used to represent a winnable majority which is what they're talking about now as the population is growing and it's becoming a smaller and smaller intion of what is winnable terms of having a winning majority party. what does that mean? youways like to say when dissect the latino vote, they don't necessarily vote for a party but they vote for a candidate. to nixon and kennedy with the viva kennedy, the first presidential campaign that made an effort with the beer of buses and the tocco fest. i was not there i'm not that old. there's a lot of history in terms of what candidates thought

they had to do and much of it very condescending in terms of appealing to hispanic voters. the first initial pockets of hispanic voters, veterans, people who were still active military, small business, and a very tiny percent faith-based but it did not see the genesis of moving that as a voting block until the last 10 years. always had ave different understanding. you have the stories in texas back in the 1970's who won by half of one percent and he was visiting ice houses where latinos were in building bonds and an understanding that the shared values that hispanic voters had about freedom, opportunity in this country, not creating necessarily a handout at the opportunity for people to on-ramp to the middle class. very symbolic, important jesters made by

individual candidates. people talk a lot about ronald reagan and he was the first national campaign on the republican side that saw the numbers move and shift for a lot of the same reasons. he understood from the veteran's perspective the role of the thetary and how so many in hispanic community used the g.i. bill to really move their families out of poverty and be the first in their family to go to college. every male in my family and extended family has served in the military. i come from that background and i am a direct reflection of that opportunity. it is changing in terms of how latinos are seeing themselves and what candidates are really touching on those particular values. i would argue the shared values that brought many to the 40% whether it was president reagan or george w. bush reaching the 40% was a high water mark but it is still below a majority percentage and that is because

these candidates had established a very strong relationships with many years prior to running for office and that was key. in george w. bush's case was doing education reform. he appointed more latinos to his administration more than any governor before him and there were a lot of very symbolic and important policy decisions. in texas has always been an incubator. incubator for reform, welfare reform, things that were empowering underserved communities to succeed. those use are reflected whether it was most recently with chris oristie in the northeast susana martinez and what she's doing in new mexico. there are examples of these candidates who will continue to

perform well on a national level but as far as it goes to get the conversation going, the brand of is alican itself nonstarter in many cases. it's going to be on solutions and candidate by candidate at least for the next 10 years. >> david. ok. out some of this but i went to give you a sense of how those numbers played out over time. this will all be at the house

level. in 2006, that dropped pretty aftericantly and that was a rather contentious discussion in terms of immigration reform that occurred predominantly in the senate and a pretty significant drop off to 30%. in 2006 at dropped even more to 29%. and010, it went up to 38% in this election, 30%. you can see, as leslie pointed out, there was never a point when they had a majority but there's an interesting point in 2010 that was an anomaly. where did that come from? rather than talking through the numbers of the mindset of people , the analogy i like to use is this, fire on the roof. people are looking

at issues and i would suggest the this could out across entire country. the fire on the roof is jobs am the economy. you take a closer look on the left-hand side, the window is broken. health care. there is a crack in the foundation. they are all really important and they all need to be addressed. but are all like, excuse me there's a fire on the roof. when will you address that? i would suggest the problems the president ran into in 2010 was not that people disagreed or agreed on health care but it was simply on the wrong topic. not just in terms of the general electric -- electorate but in terms of the hispanic vote as well. 2012 thomas along those hispanics who said it was the number one issue, republicans lost by 33% yet that

margin was only 13%. i would suggest that's the difference between -- and, again, the dynamic was closing the question in terms of given the economic situation, where are the jobs? i would suggest that's an example where there is some residents in terms of running a referendum campaign and not offering any ideas and laying out something that actually connects with an electorate. part of the challenge here is this is not just some kind of what type of voter lists do we get but what type of technology can we use to reach out to voters who have no idea what we are going to say to them? in terms of the 2000 date race, there was a comment made about how the president had 13 million more e-mail addresses. her response was that if the pope mobile had 13 million more

e-mail addresses, it us till your father's car. how do you reach out to someone? we did some focus groups and they cannot show you the people but trust that they are really here but in terms of how they describe the concept of voter contacted by itself. >> they bombarded me. they are overbearing. while, there might have been some positive or enlightening information. i did not find any education and that at all. >> while voter contact is important in making an effort is important, it is not simply that enough. there was an interesting effort and a willingness to listen.

it's more than that. >> if they did with their plans where rather than defending the one point they made or .ontradict in the other person >> this outreach in communities is an important first step. like a company, you're having a problem in a particular market and you're going to build a store, but you need rot out. you need a reason for people to come in the store. the real challenge that exists is really focusing. how do we talk about things that are important? the go back to george w. bush. an issue that was important and we are not looking at a universe that is monolithic

. in this particular viewpoint, he was focused on education and he was able to connect with voters in a way that mattered, one of getreasons he was able to the 44% and we are sitting up 30% because we are not saying things to connect. it's not just simply outreach. you get them to support the issue positions you take and that is the way to build a majority coalition including hispanics. >> i think all of you especially david touched on this tricky question that confronted the republican party in terms of how to reach out and win over hispanic voters which is is it the policy or the rhetoric? we've had this debate i think ever since 2012. i'll pose it to each one of you. do you think it's enough to, you know, tweak your rhetoric,

lighten your tone and that's enough to win over hispanic voters or does there need to be policy changes that the republican party needs to adopt to win over these voters? start with david. >> ok. i mean, i think you have to have issues and substance that actually matters to the individuals you're talking to that what you're talking to will actually impact their lives in such a way that those voters will engage. and it's not just simply hispanics. it's the electorate at large if i tweet this word and i'm going to go from 35% to 45%, you're fooling yourself. this is about substance. george w. bush brought the issue of education. why? because there was a subject that mattered in terms of the impact of their families and to some degree sthaw n o
