Then why engage in it?

We (not sure who you speak of) don’t need the Presidency, we need a good USA loving red blooded tooth and nails fighting conservative for President.

Don’t know where he is on the borders/immigration issue, though.

Back in 1995-1996 I was telling anyone who would listen that we should have done it first. I knew that by nominating a respectable Black guy we would have cinched it because the normal 95% of the Black vote that goes to the Democrats would become lopsided in our favor.

The Media would have been defanged to a large extent, and he would enjoy the same Teflon shield against criticism that this current "community organizer" loser has.

Playing the race game would have advanced the cause of conservatism dramatically. It would have been philosophically inconsistent, but it would have dramatically affected the nation and the world for the better.

We missed a golden opportunity to stop a piece of sh*t like Barack Obama from ever having any meaning.

It wouldn't. We had a black GOP Chairman a few years back and it never made any difference as far as the black vote was concerned.

Pandering to blacks has never paid off for the GOP. Blacks will continue to vote over 90% for the Democrats in the presidential elections.
