Watts, an African-American conservative who served in the House from 1994-2002, said the GOP defeat on Election Day demonstrates that Republicans need to broaden their appeal to minority voters, and cannot continue on their current path if the party is to be successful in presidential races.

J.C. Watts would be a great choice!! Another would be Marco Rubio!!

I've been a fan of JC Watts for a long time. As a twenty-something in Ottawa, Canada in the '80s, I enjoyed my football team, the Rough Riders (may they RIP), with JC at the helm. They didn't win a Grey Cup during his time there however, there was plenty of action.

As a conservative Canuck, it was a bonus to find out years ago, that JC was also a conservative Congressman. FWIW, I hoped that he would have been the first black President of the US, rather than your current Pres__ent.

As a conservative Canuck, who obviously does not have a say in any of this, I think that JC Watts would be an excellent choice. According to Wikipedia, "He had a lifetime 94 percent rating from the American Conservative Union and a lifetime "liberal quotient" of 1 percent from Americans for Democratic Action..."
