GOP pandering hasn't worked with American minorities...why would it work with Latino’s?

Let African Americans find out on their own that supporting a DNC that will cast them aside for Latino votes as soon as it's expedient-is going to cost them.

I say, the GOP must drop the minority ‘outreach’ like a bad habit.

Concentrate on the BASE and the BROAD conservative consensus on MOST issues.

The DNC can't combat a unified Conservative America.

Here is what will work. Jeff Sessions Becoming the Party of Work-How the GOP can help struggling Americans, and itself." An excerpt

When Americans went to the polls in 2012, the following was true: Work-force participation had sunk to its lowest level in 35 years, wages had fallen below 1999 levels, and 47 million Americans were on food stamps. Yet Mitt Romney, the challenger to the incumbent president, lost lower- and middle-income voters by an astonishing margin. Among voters earning $30,000 to $50,000, he trailed by 15 points, and among voters earning under $30,000 he trailed by 28 points.

And what did the GOP’s brilliant consultant class conclude from this resounding defeat? They declared that the GOP must embrace amnesty. The Republican National Committee dutifully issued a report calling for a “comprehensive immigration reform” that would inevitably increase the flow of low-skilled immigration, reducing the wages and living standards of the very voters whose trust the GOP had lost.

Over the past four decades, as factories were shuttered and blue-collar jobs were outsourced or automated, net immigration quadrupled. Yet the corporate-consultant class has pronounced that an insufficient level of immigration is the problem. A more colossal misreading of the political moment has rarely occurred.

Perhaps the most important political development now unfolding in the U.S. is the public’s growing loss of faith in our political and financial elites of both parties. To open the ears of disaffected voters, the GOP must break publicly from the elite immigration consensus of Wall Street and Davos. Republicans have a clear path to building a conservative majority if they free themselves from the corporate consultants and demonstrate to the American public that the GOP is the only party aligned with the core interests, concerns, and beliefs of everyday hardworking citizens.

There should be outreach, but it should be educating on the superiority of conservative, limited government. Not pandering and mimicking the left. As has been said many times, no one will vote for Dem-lite when they can buy the real thing. Show them why they as an individual is better off without massive government and hope to convince 5% to switch.
