We ask for their vote — just not in terms of racial heritage. We ask for traditionalist and many are. We ask for patriots and many are.
We don’t do what is necessary to get their vote and the hard work to convert more and more for the long term. We don’t consistently go into their communities, we don’t walk the streets, go into the businesses and the churches, advertise on their radio stations, tv stations, and the like. We don’t aggressively run candidates, recruit candidates or fund candidates. We may make an attempt to be color-blind in making a pitch, but that won’t yield us much in the way of their vote because we fail to do what I cited above. In no means by doing so do I endorse moving leftwards, since too often that’s what it sounds like by making an appeal. We just need to shift our strategy without compromising our positions. We had Black Dems reaching out to us in the ‘90s and we did nothing to bring them over beyond the most superficial way, and again, we act surprised when they give that 90%+ to the Dems. It’s not surprising at all. We basically write them off, and they know we do.
