This is always stupid. Republicans always think they are one black or women candidate away from a sure thing election. Michael Steele Allen Keys etc. Its dumb. The democrats attack black and women republican candidates harder and with more lies than any white male candidate. And its because they can’t afford to let them in. They need to make sure that republicans are synonymous with rich white males even though republicans are no longer rich and more than half are not white males.
Walker is the latest case. As soon as he is republican, he can be labeled anything and the press will attack. Even though his opponent is provably worse, the press won’t mention it. Black and female republicans are great. But their road to victory is actually harder.
So true. I had my day of submission thinking republicans running minority candidates was a good strategy. I can’t repent enough for buying into that RINO strategy. Best candidate is the best strategy.
