First Rand Paul and now Bruce Rauner. Both GOP candidates who have decided to try to rationally engage black voters by listening to them first and then, hopefully, explaining how conservative values can positively influence their lives and their children’s futures.
Rev. Meeks is the first to indicate publicly that he’s willing to give the GOP a chance as a result. Let’s hope he’s just the start. Fixing the mess in the center cities should be at the top of the Republican agenda, but doing it and getting credit for doing it are two different things, as DeBlasio’s election in NYC proved.
To get credit, GOP candidates have to listen first, then convince black leaders that they’re sincere in intending to address their problems, not with more disabling welfare programs, but by rebuilding conservative family values and a work ethic.
If this effort by Paul and Rauner works, it will be huge. And it should work; blacks have been taken for granted by liberals for years, and no more so than under our current President who has done nothing for them, absolutely nothing. (Well there are the free phones, I guess.)
