Paul, according to CNN, also talked about making the Republican party “bigger” and much more inclusive, saying that unless Republicans “broaden their message” to reach more people, winning future elections is going to be a bit of a problem.
“You go to a Republican event and it’s all white people—not because we’re excluding anybody, but because we just haven’t done a good enough job encouraging people to come into our party.”

Hostile is Boehner mocking me for being skeptical about “Comprehensive Immigration Reform”
If I’m sensitive to this I can imagine how the black people in your life might take some of the crap the GOPe fling.
It isn’t wrong at all. If minorities don’t want to join us, an all white party is the natural result. And their fault entirely. They have been welcome since day one. And we are under no liberal obligation to exit politics because it offends anyone.
They think he’s an idiot too. thats why they are more conservative than GOP.
The answer I’d stop electing lesser evils for the sake of winning when all they do is create more problems than electing a democrat to begin with.
And why are we bringing in 1.1 million legal permanent immigrants a year, 87% of whom are minorities as classified by the USG? We are importing hundreds of thousands of future Dem voters every year.
I absolutely agree with you. Why are we fighting?
I have no Idea.
It’s not all white. Ru Paul is all over the map trying to be a DemocRat.
OMG! This will never do. How could this have happened? We must never allow white people to do anything but die.
The real facts are: free enterprise and standing on one's two feet with as little gov. involvement as possible does not appeal to 90+% pct. of black citizens. Conservatives can scream and jump up and down trying to convince blacks that conservatism is good for them to no avail. Unless it becomes a party of pandering and handouts like the Dems, no blacks will join.
There are lots of non whites on welfare, liberal lurker
Reach out, yes, but not by changing our principles. The presentation, perhaps. If we can present our ideas more effectively, then let’s learn how to do that.
Great. God bless you and all the best to you and yours.
But what if they don't want to be convinced? What if they like the idea of being wards of the state and pawns of liberal Democrats? Then what? Because that is what it looks like. Appeals to minorities have been tried many times and failed. Why do you think more appeals will work when the past ones failed?
The conclusion is obvious...most minorities do not want to stand on their own two feet. They very much like being victims and parasites. You cannot win the vote of people who firmly believe they are owed.
Problem is that Rand Paul wants to liberalize the R principles which are watered down enough already.
He’s a fool and dangerous. And probably duplicitous as well.
Yes, the purpose of Rand Paul is to make Jim Bunning look a whole lot better.
I was lucky when I was a kid and saw Jim Bunning pitch. He had a unique windup.
Yep. I started sounding the alarm about Rand Paul not long after he got to Congress. He started tacking left almost from the outset. He's the future of the GOP-e.
What’s wrong with being white exactly Senator Paul?
The topic of this thread is Rand Paul saying, "You Go to a Republican Event and It’s All White People." Your response (post #4 on this thread, responding to the initial article) said, "We don’t hand out welfare to animal filth. So what do you expect?"
So if your point wasn't that all nonwhite people are "animal filth" who are on welfare, then just what were you trying to say about why there are no nonwhite people at Republican events?
