So should we be looking to get 85% of the racist vote?
How about we just stand for what is right and let the voters come to us?
The Republicans will never be a majority party until they manage to convice minority voters that they can be trusted in racial matters. As long as the Democrats can maintain a stranglehold on the minority vote, they only have to get 30% of the non-minority vote to reach parity. To cede the minority vote to the Democrats is a recipe for long-term electoral decline.
But even if it were not, even if you could balance minorities with racists, I would rather be supported by right thinking minority voters than pander to racists.
