Rand Paul is pandering to the lowest common denominator.
Reaching out to those who already have some conservative ideals is far more effective and Rand Paul doesn’t deserve much credit there.
Real outreach is being done by every day folks with some republicans slowly catching on.
The fact is that it’ll take many cycles of hard work to win Blacks over to voting GOP. And that’ll only produce marginal gains.
However, what Paul’s efforts can do is highlight that Blacks don’t get very much from the Dems which could lead them into a pox on both houses mentality of sitting it out. Esp since Obama won’t be at the top of the ballot again.
Thats actually a good way to go to win elrvtions, and even tho I’ll never vote for Paul I’ll still thank him for doing it. The way to win Blacks over to the GOP is to show that Conservative policies work for their betterment while Dem policies don’t. That can’t happen without the GOP winning elections, particularly the Presidency.
