This nation is not a melting pot anymore but one big salad. I guess people like it like that.

Wow a huge mistake for the GOP to play the minority skin tone vagina monologue game. I am so disappointed but not surprised. GOP without Trump = losers.

Old white guys are not the future of America.

Shut up you racist. Go over to the Dems they play your game better than the GOP.

I don’t give a crap what race, gender, Christian religion, or planet a candidate comes from, Just be a Constitutionalist or bugger off.

If the people are supportive of President Trump, I wouldn’t care if the candidate is a gay black who believes that UFOs exist. I want the best candidate available.

It’s a hard slog to recruit anyone to go into politics unless he’s really into politics or independently wealthy. What kind of person takes a year out of his life to campaign for basically a temp job where, if he wins, he has to leave his career track *and* move to DC, a really expensive city? Why is it a temp job? Because an election loss sends him back home. Whereas 99% of jobs aren’t anywhere near this transient. And with most jobs, you never have to step off your career track. Then there’s the intrusive media questions that no non-politician who’s not a murder suspect ever has to deal with.

Here’s an idea. How about choosing the BEST CONSTITUTIONALIST.

Good point! Here's another idea. How about choosing the most qualified who is an American by birth.

Every time they do this... it’s a definition of their insanity.

But maybe having Trump will make a difference.

agree...I am SOOOO tired of catering to women (and I am one) and minorities and everything else....why can we not just get a person who believes the constitution, someone who believes in America first before we try to solve all the problems of everyone else, someone who is honest and good... a person with integrity. Why do we have to look at color, race, gender first when determining who to run?

House and Senate races are not limited to natural born Americans. Quality naturalized Americans who love this country should not be stopped and legally can’t be prevented from running.

It blunts it a lot if not completely at the local and state office level from what I’ve seen. It also gets the lefties going at each other. National level is another story entirely.

Because the media will cheerfully rip white males apart with charges of racism while not realizing the hypocrisy.

I would also point out that in this current environment, we need to look at those elements TO WIN in many states. We have a choice of maximum ideological purity or winning. We have to win in order to roll back leftism. Which do you want?

This is why the post-Trump GOP needs to weed out McConnell, McCarthy, Scalise and all the old white guys.

Scalise took a bullet because of his politics. I am not going to push him out the door that quickly.

A guy by the name of John james ran in Michigan and lost. I was impressed with him and think he should run again.

Our form of public service is intensely attractive to narcissistic sociopaths and repellent to normal people. So we get what the system attracts.

Why should I vote for a female for anything?
