Somehow reagan trying to appeal to women by appointing the centrist Sarah Day to the supreme court didn’t piss conservatives off too much. Appealing to the economically leftist blue-collar worker didn’t piss conservatives off too much.
If you want conservatives to be the majority pary, you better adapt to changing circumstances.
The republican party had a rampant nativist element in the john birch society which it had to make less visible to win elections in the 70’s. This is no different.
I don’t see how trying to appeal to hispanics means giving up on our principles like diehards try to make things out be.
Then you keep a sharp eye out for how liberals are going to use the attempt to appeal to 'hispanics'. Liberals do not care about hispancs except for their political gain... and they are going to make hay over 'rich' republicans requiring 'cheap labors' (never mind they use them for the same purpose) to keep their wealth. And at the same time use the publicans own words of nativists as another vehicle to destroy law abiding citizens.
It sure is interesting how the publican elite can with a fine surgical scalpel slice and dice republicans while they willingly ignore what the enemy is intent upon doing.
