that and the republicans haven’t lifted a finger to court them. The asian vote was up for grabs in the 90s and early 2000s and the Rs blew it and are continuing to blow it. You can no longer just stand and talk general policy for everybody, you have to get down and dirty with the different groups and at least flatter their pretensions that your going to be looking out for them specifically. Dems are much better at this than Reps and they understand far better that politics isn’t just elections.
To expand on a topic of from the Chris Plante Show this past week: part of persuading people is to show up in person to make your pitch.
DC is currently in the midst of the Cherry Blossom Festival, one of the weekends contains the street market, why is it that the RNC cannot rent a booth and keep it staffed with 2-4 earnest young (or not so young) spokes men who can explain Republican policies (and maybe collect voter registrations).
Why not try something similar at county fairs and street festivals in other cities?
