      The speed with which even people with solidly progressive credentials & education get abruptly declared Problematic is terrifying, all the moreso to people not acculturated in the Byzantine world of academic intersectionality. It's like Sam Gamgee dining at Downton.

      But again, that doesn’t answer my question about outreach or concerns about “turning off” black voters.

      Where @baseballcrank is right is that blue collar whites are considered the only persuadable voters in 2020. Where @cjane87 is on the right track is that this is the result of a decision made by Republicans in 2015-16 to give up on minority outreach for a generation.

      Specifically, by 40% of Republican primary voters.

      And then another 40% + went along with it to own the libs. It’s one of the most deeply disappointing moments in my life. Republicans could have been better than this.

      Once he had the nomination, there were no good choices. I blame nobody for what they did in November. Hillary winning was an equally bad choice.

      I will never accept that Hillary was an equally bad choice and for evidence I would point to every single day since the day Trump announced until 10 seconds ago. But I take issue with the premise of Jane's question.

      As I wrote a while back, what works for Trump does not work outside of Trump world. There's Trump and his base, and then there are normal people who are disgusted by racism. But if you label *all* of them racists indifferently, then you needlessly tank a coalition.

      There are white voters whose votes are gettable, but pissing away those votes by declaring them to be monsters if they don't care about intersectionality is dumb. To me, these are two different issues, hence my disagreement with the premise of Jane's question. -30-

      But my question is: black voters and other non-white voters presumably have “gettable” votes (Rick Perry did it in Texas!)

      Perry had a fine record on outreach, and the WaPo "Perry is a racist because of something written a rock on some land before his dad bought the land" story is a textbook illustration of how the currency of the term 'racism' gets debased.

          Put tribalism picks up the claim and deceminates it through out the mainstream press so now perry is a racist to the vast majority of people who has never heard of him before running for president. And perry now has to defend against the charge etc

          And Trump doesn't want or need those votes. This is ice-cold calculation about his base and where the EC votes are.

          GWB's record in Texas is another good example, and the way he proved unable to break 90-10 split of AA votes at the national level (buttressed in part by spurious accusations of racism from Ds & media) was a dispiriting example of how tough it was to change even pre-Trump.

          The James Byrd ad was a nasty example. Obama ran Spanish-language radio ads saying McCain & Rush Limbaugh were the same on immigration, which was definitely news to both McCain & Rush.

          Yes, part of the story is that the media actually seems to want Republicans to be racist and so would treat Dubya, Romney, and Perry the same as Trump. There’s a lot of blame to go around.

          When all this is over, I hope the Democrats have a moment of reflection about how treating all GOP candidates as indistinguishably racist helped Trump to say "I'm just one of the guys, no better and no worse." But what I am saying? They won't.

          But to get back to @cjane87 ‘s original question, a sane and rational political party would care equally about offending both groups of voters because it would want to unite them in its coalition. Let me know when we have one.
