Well Trump could go female VP How about Cathy McMorris Rodgers 44..that would be a wrinkle
It might be. But I wonder how any GOP woman can reconcile herself with Trumps comments about Fiorina, they will be replayed, and the latest threats he's made toward Cruz. I think there's worse yet to come from Trump. He overreacts rashly and with no restraint.
An Hispanic might help, but they'd also have to persuade fellow Hispanics that Trump 'didn't mean' what he's said.
And regardless there is the GOP brand and platform to overcome, IMO. It's not really 'user friendly' for the constituencies whose votes they need.

Quote:Top Republican dismisses Facebook praise for ObamaCare

A top Republican in the House says praise on her Facebook page for ObamaCare is mainly for parts of the law that have bipartisan support.
Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers's (R-Wash.) Facebook page has received enormous attention, after her plea for negative stories about the law drew comments from people applauding the law.
McMorris Rodgers offered a response to the positive comments to The Spokesman-Review of Spokane, Wash., on Monday.
“The stories are largely around pre-existing conditions and those that are getting health insurance up to age 26,” she said, adding that there is “broad, bipartisan support for those provisions.”
McMorris Rodgers, the House's fourth-ranking Republican drew attention, after she put out a call for negative stories about the law.
“This week marks the 5th anniversary of #Obamacare being signed into law,” she wrote. “Whether it's turned your tax filing into a nightmare, you’re facing skyrocketing premiums, or your employer has reduced your work hours, I want to hear about it.”
Her page was then flooded with positive comments about the Affordable Care Act.
“5 years of not waking up in the middle of the might panicked that my child won't ever be able to get health insurance thanks to a brain tumor at the age of 2,” wrote a woman named Melissa Kelly. “Thank God for Obamacare.”
“I work for cancer care northwest,” wrote a man named Robert Fairfax. “We actually have more patients with insurance and fewer having to choose treatment over bankruptcy. Cathy, I'm a die hard conservative and I'm asking you to stop just slamming Obamacare. Fix it, change it or come up with a better idea! Thanks”
McMorris Rodgers and other House Republicans have voted many times to repeal the entire law. A spokeswoman referred The Hill to another Facebook post by McMorris Rodgers.
