I agree with you. It's kind of like when Bush 43 had the signing ceremony for some kind of pro-life bill (I don't recall exactly what). Behind him were nothing but old white male politicians. A much better photo-op would have been a group of women holding their adopted babies.

Yes, people should vote ideology, not appearances--but appearances matter. If the GOP looks like the party of only the wealthy elderly, it will limit its growth outside of that demographic.

It’s a fine thing for the Republican candidate to visit the yacht and country club and rich old white ladies. But the question is, when the party presents imagery of its candidate, what does it choose for top of the fold, front page, opening web page, first paragraph, and the 30 seconds of the radio commercial?

I submit it isn’t “yachts” and “country clubs” and rich old white ladies.

(Points made here that Dems are the true elitists, phonies, etc., are well-taken.)
