So are you saying that Blacks (or at least enough to make a difference) are unreachable, and therefore not worth the effort?

What I recall are McCain and Romney going before unrepentant Liberal organizations like the NAACP, more to show that they had (and hence wouldn’t get beat up by the press for doing so). They weren’t evangelizing Conservatism.

Get beat up in the press for not doing so, correction to my above.

If only someone would make the effort!

You are correct wrt romney and mccain. No one has sold conservatism to the black community since Reagan.

And even Reagan, iirc, only got ~30% of the black vote.

LBJ was correct in his assessment of ‘freebies’ and ‘votes’ it would appear.

And Cochran didn’t make the effort this time either. Unless you think the robocalls and KKKFlyers were selling conservatism?
