“Outreach”

Why do Conservatives use Democrat words?

We don’t do “outreach.”

We offer a set of political and personal principles.

If someone - any race, any gender, any religion - agrees with our principles, that person will be welcomed with open arms.

“Outreach”

Why do Conservatives use Democrat words?

We don’t do “outreach.”

We offer a set of political and personal principles.

If someone - any race, any gender, any religion - agrees with our principles, that person will be welcomed with open arms.

Then you will condemn the GOP to increased demographic irrelevance.

"Outreach" only means making sure that the message is truly heard by all. We don't need to change the policies, just the way we talk about them in some cases. And possibly the representatives we choose to spread the message.

We have decades of Dem messaging to counteract. We'll never get through that if we're not even willing to meet those people halfway.

The American public has been conditioned to think that the GOP only cares about rich old white guys, and that's hurting us with groups (like Asian-Americans) who agree with the polices but are turned off by what they see as exclusionary tendencies. If we can demonstrate to them that we don't give a $#!+ about the "white" and "guy" part of that, and want everyone to have the opportunity to be rich when they're old, then they might actually listen to our plans for the country. And when they do listen to what we have to say, I'm convinced we'll start winning them over.

If outreach is what's needed to start that conversation, what exactly is the harm in that again?
