Remember Reagan used to talk about the Republican party having a “big tent”?

I would suggest that, there is a need for a big tent so that conservative Republicans can get enough support to win elections.

I’m also concerned that we’re seeing more and more identity politics, what with increasing numbers of ethnic minorities. The liberals have lambasted the GOP as a party of older whites. And suggest that any minority should find their political home in the Democrat party because the GOP is somehow racist and bigoted. We have to fight these stereotypes.

Off the top of my head, I can think of numerous minority and minority women Republicans:

Brian Sandoval, governor of Nevada
Mia Love, past and maybe future congressional candidate from Utah

Susana Martinez, governor of New Mexico
Nikki Haley, governor of South Carolina
Tim Scott, Senator from South Carolina
Alan West, former congressman from Florida
Marco Rubio, Senator from Floria
Ted Cruz, Senator from Texas

All of these are prominent members of minority groups and are Republicans. Yet somehow the GOP is racist, per the media and the liberals. Part of a big tent for the GOP has to include getting more minority voters in this America in which white voters are a declining proportion of voters.

We have to stress to minority voters that GOP issues such as taxation, smaller government, etc. are issues in which the GOP reflects their values.

This is horse blank, in my opinion, the idea that if you are some minority group, you need to vote Democrat because Democrats will protect government programs and protect you from the evil GOP.

You don’t understand.

Every one of those people you mentioned are insane, and race traitors. Just ask anyone in the non-Fox mainstream media about this.

The examples of them, or anything they say, simply isn’t legitimate, and can be ignored out of hand.

Such is the world we allowed to be created.
