Why can't the GOP get the white vote? The GOP stands for colorblind indepence and opportunity for all Americans. The GOP is against racism and intolerance of any kind. The GOP wants to help everyone achieve the American dream. The GOP believes that if you just work hard enough, everyone and anyone can be rich.(*) So why can't the GOP get the white vote?
Those are the goals of the people who vote republican, for the most part, it just isn't the GOP's agenda.
Something is off about your question, did you mean Blacks? Why is it your poll questions are different from those in your original post? Me thinks more proof reading before posting the thread would have been in order.
Lol, I had to read the question several times, and still could not process it. I agree, something is off.
Have you listen to Ben Carson? I did on my way home from picking up my grand daughter from school yesterday. The man makes sense. If the GOP wants an outsider, they are chasing and supporting the wrong man, at least in my opinion.
He is soft spoken. Quite a change from the bombastic Trump. The thoughtful answers he gave was quite a change from the usual prescripted responses you get from most others. Not pretested by a focus group. I'll be keeping an eye on him.
sadly the GOP is not motivated by common sense, they are motivated by crazy emotions the powers that be wont even let him be the VP .
I was about to say the same thing Perotista, it's the Democrat Party that can't get the white vote. Excerpt: - - - Updated - - - I think that's Carson's problem, he to soft spoken.
For me neither party has any common sense. But I have my biases just like everyone else. I think if I could choose both parties nominees, at the moment anyway it would be Kasich vs. Webb. The reason is simple, I think both would be best for the country than anyone else in their party that is currently running. I like both and would vote for either one. I really do not see this rush to Trump within the GOP, I do not trust him any further than I do Hillary. If those two are the nominees I will vote third party again as I did in 2012. Then I lost faith in one and didn't trust the other. I will have nothing to do in putting a Trump or Hillary in the White House. Plus several others if they happen to win the nomination.
IF your mistake was white for black then I'd go with 1 or 2 and so close I just can't make a choice. Oh hell, 1. There are conservative blacks, but they also know that the Republicans are mainly racist, no matter what they say, very few racists admit it, after all. Black people aren't stupid, in fact many of them are smarter than white people. They noticed, frex, that the Republicans soundly rejected THEIR OWN healthcare plan when OBAMA promulgated it and they know DAMNED sight well EXACTLY why the Republicans did so. The only people who think there is any other reason than racism for this kind of flat out paradoxical behavior often have the Stars and Bars on their pickups for "Heritage" and they aren't fooling anyone there either. What SHOULD they do to get the black vote? IMO, it's simple. Promise there will be a shift in funding from Welfare oriented spending to programs directed at Enterprise zones and minority owned businesses. Never happen, of course, Republicans read any kind of government funded thing as Crony Capitalism and jump right on it themselves since that's their bread and butter. This is how we get high end boutique groceries with $37 asparagus water staffed by girls from the Hamptons in the South Bronx, while the people who live there have to go 50 miles to find a SuperFresh.
I just wish people would open their eyes and see that both of these corporate owned parties are not what they seem. It is a 'scam'. Everything they do is to either divide the country, and appease their real bosses, by using their positions to making them richer, and keeping them in charge. I haven't seen either party do anything but those two things for well over 40 years, and getting away with it.
I like you hadn't paid a bit of attention to Carson until I heard him on the radio. He seemed very sincere. There is something about a candidate that seems to speak from his heart. That you do not have a sense what he said had been focus group tested. Way too many candidates just tell whatever group they are speaking to exactly what they want to hear and if they change their tune when they talk to the next group. I do not know if I will support him or not. The winnowing process is taking place. I have plenty of time to decide as the Georgia Primaries are not until next March. I think this far out it is better just to sit back and watch and listen instead of just jumping onto someone bandwagon that happen to say something you liked somewhere along the line.
