Democrats roll up huge leads in their “base”—single abortive women and blacks.
Republicans make the mistake of thinking they need to “eat into” these two groups.
As the CATALIST story instructs us, this is a huge mistake. It takes about a dollar to motivate a “moderate” to vote. It takes a Democrat about ten cents to get abortive women and blacks to vote. It probably takes a Republican about ten dollars get an abortive woman or a black to vote Republican. Maybe much more.
Republicans should campaign to get the votes of the people that it takes about ten cents to get to vote Republican!
Unfortunately, most Republican candidates are ashamed and afraid to campaign for the votes of Christians, pro-lifers, men married to women, women married to men, etc.
Reagan won Massachusetts twice. I've been here all my life. The politics of the citizens has not changed. Republicans fail to learn from the success of Reagan. I just can't understand why.
