Nigel Farage warned Thursday night in America that the U.S. Republican party will become a dinosaur not an elephant if it continues to embrace the political center.

'I suspect that if the Republican Party sticks with the establishment it will lose,' he told Daily Mail Online after a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference.

The GOP 'has got to reach the Hispanic community, but it's also got to reach that blue-collar community that Reagan got to vote for him in huge numbers. I'm not sure at the moment that they're positioning themselves to do that.'

CPAC is an annual three-day mecca for constitutional evangelists, anti-Obamacare shock troops, full-throated abortion opponents and gun rights activists. Many of them think the Republican Party is only slightly less liberal and nanny-statist than the president.
