December 29, 2014 at 5:42AM

In the aftermath of another election, Republicans are once again looking at the membership of the Grand Old Party with the goal of building a bigger political tent. The race to win the White House has already begun and Republicans find themselves trying to build a party that can be competative in 2016.

While the 2014 election results favored Republicans nationally, the voter turnout was the lowest in decades. Winning the White House in 2016 may be the immediate prize for the Republicans, but a long-term strategy for building a more diverse political party should be ultimate goal.
