WASHINGTON (AP) — Top Republicans are hunting district-by-district for just the right candidates — women and minorities in many cases — to help them recapture the House six months after a political tidal wave swept Democrats into control of the most diverse majority in history.
Among the recruits are a Republican woman in the Oklahoma state Senate and a black political novice from Houston with Iraq combat experience and three Ivy League degrees on his resume. They are part of the GOP drive to gain at least 18 seats in the 2020 elections to win the majority — historically a tall order for the party out of power in presidential election years.

Well, it’s better than the aging career RINO fat dudes they’ve been running.
Exactly.
Old white guys are not the future of America.
Period.
Period.
Freshen up, GOP.
This is why the post-Trump GOP needs to weed out McConnell, McCarthy, Scalise and all the old white guys.
Here’s an idea. How about choosing the BEST CONSTITUTIONALIST.
White males need not apply.
Actually, the Democrats quoted here are right. People are more likely to respect a candidate, at least at the congressional district level, who builds their own organization versus one foisted on them by the party bosses because they check one or more diversity boxes.
I'd cast this as fake news.
Like that has gone so well in the past.
The Stupid Party strikes again
My idiot GOP Rep. Dana Rohrabacher managed to lose by taking the position that home sellers should be able to refuse selling to gays.
I know, I know that would be fine on FR but this in 2019 and we hae had civil rights, and fair housing laws dating to the 1860s.
Needless to say his long time support by the Realtor association, went away.
We don’t need women and minorities. But we do need common sense. The dem that won, pretended to be ex-Republican, middle-of-the-road businessman. Now after a few months in office, he isjust another dem-socialist radical. He could be defeated.
Yeah, who needs white men anyway? It’s not like they created this country in the first place.
They should just shut up and hand over the keys.
I don’t know about that; it is probably that the Congress cannot be all white.
To be fair, of late I’ve been seeing that Republican women and minorities in certain states are more constitutionalist than the GOPe old white guys in the primaries.
It does, however, remove the sexist/racist cards from the Democrat arsenal in that race.
Pandering to the left for GOP candidates?
When has that worked for us?
Oh, yeah. I forgot. Since all the “retirements” pre-midterms, the GOPe Uniparty needs reinforcements.
Top Republicans do, yeah, that worked so well when Michael Steele tried it.
Coming from someone who thinks running ultra-leftists as Republicans is a brilliant idea.
Well there goes hunting for candidates because they are the best ones.
Remember the hearings on Judge Thomas? The Kavanaugh hearings were a walk in the park by comparison, nasty as they were.
Not a racist/sexist. So any color or gender will do just fine. As long as they are rock ribbed conservatives.
