Nod. There are more hispanic conservatives than black conservatives. They need to get busy.

“many conservatives don’t even try to reach out to hispanics and blacks. it’s a big problem”

There’s no point in wasting time, money, and effort trying to coax blacks and Hispanics (particularly blacks) to “vote Republican”.

They will inevitably support the Democratic candidate by huge margins (the notable exception of the Cubans notwithstanding). If the Democratic candidate happens to be black, or Hispanic, the numbers will be overwhelming.

Trying to court such votes is as useful and productive as is carrying coals to Newcastle.

A fearless prediction: Obama is going to win the “black vote” by 95% or greater. Even black registered Republicans are going to vote for him (even if they won’t admit it). It would have been the same with women regarding Hillary.

Those blacks and/or Hispanics who DO vote conservative are smart enough to do so on their own, and need none of our cajoling.
