You’re ignoring the cases where people are undecided or leaning but need a nudge. Plus there are young or inexperienced voters who might have conservative instincts but truly aren’t sure who to vote for. It makes no sense not to make an effort to get these people’s votes.
Your comment was race-free, & I like that. Certainly an appeal should be made to leaners of all races, as well as to young voters. But the appeal should be on the basis of conservatism itself. People of every race can be sold on conservatism if it is presented with sufficient strength & power. None of the GOPe do so, & if one did, it would be pure hypocrisy. They don’t govern like conservatives. Some of the TEA party candidates do present conservatism with eloquence. That is ‘outreach’ at its finest.
Now let me ask you something. I was still a moonbat when Reagan was campaigning, so I have no particular knowledge of his approach. But perhaps you do. Did he pander to blacks specifically, or did he just sell conservatism so persuasively that Dems [some Dems; not me] crossed over & voted GOP? No speculation, please. I am looking for an historically accurate reply. Thank you in advance.
Her points are fine, but her premise, and yours, that this is some kind of brilliant outreach to blacks by Cochran is garbage. It wasn't anything of the kind, it was simply despicable. Do not expect conservatives to ever support this man.
