Sorry Rand, but a Pothead Coalition can’t get you to the White House. Most of your voters will be too stoned to get to the polls.

“Sorry Rand, but a Pothead Coalition can’t get you to the White House. Most of your voters will be too stoned to get to the polls.”

But what about support from the African American community? They are enraged by police violence, “broken windows” policies and lengthy prison sentences for minor drug offenses. It has destroyed millions of black lives and ensured that they will never be productive members of society. Or have a slice of the American dream. Just a life of poverty with no way out. They have watched it happen to their children, relatives and neighbors. That leaves a mark!

Paul has met with them to discuss their concerns. He was actually INVITED by the NAACP to hold a townhall at Ferguson. He was the also the only elected Republican ever to speak at the Urban League. He has regularly spoken at historically black colleges. People went away impressed that a Republican actually cared about their concerns. That says a lot.

Republicans typically don’t wanna hear, know or understand about black concerns. Like we don’t want or need that constituency. Sadly, threads on here will show that. Romney’s 47% comment is another fine example.

Can you name another candidate that is reaching out to their community and is willing to discuss their concerns?
