lol
but I disagree.... base on the history and the current party, GOPs can and should improve their race image...
and simply marching out an african american candidate to do the exact same agenda is poor strategy in my opinion...
The attitude that the GOP does not need to evolve or improve is silly to me... If that is the attitude of the party, why would we choose that type of attitude to lead the nation? do not seem like good leadership to refuse to believe that they need to improve....
If GOP think african americans vote purely on free junk as they have been conditioned to believe that is how minorities vote, than they would never win over minority voters...
It is actually this type of thinking, scapegoating, and angry rhetoric that turns off minority voters... the solution is to stop that type of campaigning and "Repubkicans talk" to its own base to make itself fell okay...
and instead create a platform that is not based on telling you why dems hate you, but instead what exactly is it that the GOP is doing for the common person and not the rich... and what the GOP is doing not to help minorities, but admit the mistakes in the past and show they are not doing those things any more... the GOP needs to approach the people with honesty about their past and rather then giving minorities and easier path like with affirmative action, they need to create a fair one...
meaning drop the obsession with voter ID for starters....
but this would involve a party that is willing to improve and evolve for the betterment of itself and the nation... and I am not sure the party and its base is up to the challenge....
At least it does not appear so
It is not a race image to me. Maybe a message for ALL that have the Democratic mindset; do not think it has to be race so much. A lot of white voters don't vote republican for the same reasons.
IDs have nothing to do with it--more Left nonsense. All blacks (old, young, poor, etc.) I know all have IDs.
There are not any good examples of what they are doing not to help minorities any more than anyone else. All race baiting stirred up bt Left to me.
Maybe GOP needs to evolve---but not evolve into the Democratic party---just to get more of a certain group to vote for them. They should simply do better getting their message out and explaining why it works for ALL people. As opposed to the Left, which hasn't done a lot for them for decades. That is something that maybe the Black Republicans and the Young Republicans should help get out. Slow process...but it does seem to be changing somewhat.
Instead of helping Blacks get going, Democrats have just sent out the message that republicans hate them, and will not help them, etc. Then given them enough free junk to keep them under their thumb.
