Following President Obama’s successful re-election despite the weak economy, political observers are asking what lies ahead for the GOP. Some within the party are questioning whether it needs to change its stance on immigration to realign itself with certain voters. Others disagree. We discuss the party’s future.

Guests:

Bill Whalen, research fellow at the Hoover Institution

Abel Maldonado, former lieutenant governor of California and former state senator (R) representing the 15th District

Bridget Melson, activist and founder of the Pleasanton Tea Party

Steve Grand, GOP media consultant and president of Wilson Grand Communications, a political strategy consulting firm which produced media for Karl Rove's American Crossroads
