The GOP has a problem nominating and electing blacks to statewide offices. Remember Herman Cain? He would have been a better senator than Issakson who lost I believe down the road. Then there’s the Oklahoma house speaker who lost to paleface Lankford. Throw in the ineptness of Robinson in NC and you can see they’ve got a tall hill to climb.

Winsome Sears should take note. Let’s hope Florida republicans can carry Donalds.

Donald’s WILL be the next FL. Gov.

Donalds shouldn't have any problem in Florida, but as you noted that is much more the exception than the rule when the GOP runs blacks for Governor or Senator. Sears is unlikely to win in Virginia this year (but that's by no means solely because of her race; it's as much because of her party) and Cameron already choked once. We can't afford him choking twice.

Andy Barr is definitely NOT a solid conservative (then again, neither is his district), but he could hardly be worse than McTurtle. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it, but perhaps Barr will move to the right as a Senator since he represents the entire state and not just one squishy district. Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves though; he isn't elected yet.

Andy Barr election results and ideology ratings

Like Daniel Cameron who was nominated and elected to statewide office? And literally everyone knew he was black? And he was not the first.

This has been pointed out to you numerous times before - so you have to know at this point it is not true, yet you keep on saying it. All of the other people you mentioned were and are statewide nominated *and elected* black candidates. Nothing you say is correct. Nothing.
