Yes, there will be 3 more Africans voting republican.
With all due respect I don’t really care if black ‘folk’ vote Republican but if the Dems are that hard to vote for then by all means black ‘folk’ stay home on election day.
Exactly. Pandering specifically to Blacks would cost more votes than it would gain. They are free to join us based on our already existing beliefs.
If they like to work and not exist on welfare.
Hard to say.
Will more blacks marry the other parent of their children? Will more blacks study for school? Will more blacks stop using and selling illicit drugs? Will more blacks stop shooting other blacks? Will more blacks stop focusing on being black and start focusing on their success?
I find it hard to fathom why a white guy would vote Democrat. The Democrats do nothing for the white male and offer nothing. They are not part of their identity politics. It is pure idiocy IMO.
Socialism is cynicism directed towards society and (concomitantly, in that government exists only to curb evil in society) faith in, even naiveté towards, government.Republicans cannot out-pander cynics; they must argue forcefully for the common good.
Ain’t gonna happen.
I know.
This article is about Blacks.
You make a valid point.
The goal is not all but merely enough
How many varies with location but 15% will do
The apparent total lack of interest by the Sessions DOJ in indicting local election officials around the country for 2016's misdeeds does not bode well for the future.
LOL! LOL! LOL! ---- NO!
true
It all depends on their perspective. . do they see a growing economy and low unemployment numbers being in their interest or do they see government hand-outs, Section-8 housing, food stamps, bad attitudes, fatherless homes, violence, bad schools, crumbling neighborhoods and constant whining by rich athletes to be in their interest.
Does that include Walter Williams, Allen Keys & J.C. Watts?
Yes at rate Blacks are coming over we can expect that by November 35% to vote Republican another 10% will stay home and 5% will vote 3rd party leaving the Democrats with 50% which is 40 points below what they need to win.
No, there are EXCEPTIONS to every rule, but the rule still stands. Exceptions are the outliers in any population of data.
This has nothing to do with “pandering.”
A few elections ago, I worked on GOTV stuff in a small Southern city. We leafletted, called, etc. All over town - except in the black neighborhoods because it was regarded as a waste of time. And then we actually got a call from a black resident of one of these neighborhoods who asked if we could come and leaflet there because he was planning to vote Republican and he knew there were a few others who might if they dared (he literally said he was scared and he only talked to a few neighbors he had reason to think might be sympathetic). So he said it might help them if they saw the door hangers for the GOP candidate and make them feel that somebody cared about their vote.
DId we do it? Of course not. I offered to go and distribute literature, but the local “leadership” just said it would be worthless. It wouldn’t have been, since one of the reasons blacks don’t vote GOP is that nobody in the party makes any effort to even give them the choice to or encouragement in voting GOP. We write them off from the start, saying they’re “all Dems.”
Outreach is not pandering. Treat black neighborhoods just like any others: have candidates’ nights, meetings, leafletting, etc. And you might be surprised.
