Focus on the 20%, ignore the 80%. A winning strategy!
NO. You need to call Tea party people nutcases and whackos that would sure help.
Mitt is awkward about this -- as he so often is -- but it's possible to tease out a grain or two of validity in what he says. First, part of what he was saying was that he ignored or alienated lower income voters. That much is true, and it did hurt him.
Second, "focusing on minority voters" wouldn't have done Romney any good, given Obama's massive lead among African-Americans, but if there's enough doubt among Blacks and Latinos about Hillary that some stay home or even vote Republican it would help the GOP.
So without seriously believing Republicans should "focus" on minority voters before other groups, it would be wrong to write minority groups (or less affluent Whites) off.
Why don’t they run on everyone being an individual and that they should all have freedom and the liberty to live their lives as they please.
The GOP should focus more on the non-Hispanic white voter than minorities. Romney won that vote 59-39. A few more percentage points and he would have won the election.
