She continues: '"At the same time, there's a feeling that the Republican Party is at its weakest in generations. I've heard from all kinds of people who want to get involved in getting it back on track: women who see a role for themselves for the first time ever, young millennials concerned about the national debt, Latinos who are frustrated with Obama's unkept promises on immigration, disillusioned Romney supporters who want to change the tone in Washington, African-Americans who are not happy with how far left the Democratic party has moved...The GOP should be welcoming them all with open arms.
