Why Does the GOP Write Off Minorities?

Three major problems arise with your suggestion of more GOP outreach to minority communities:

First, there’s no evidence that conservative principles exist in the GOP. How on earth do you expect Republican politicians to articulate principles that they neither understand nor believe?

Second, GOP politicians are gutless. The prevailing opinion, and the one espoused by the Democrats, is that racism causes the problems in minority communities. The GOP must agree as they never point out the fallacies in the liberal agenda, as Night Owl did above, nor do they champion initiatives that would allow the minority communities to correct the problems.

Third, there is no leadership in the GOP. Any outreach program requires clear articulation of principles, a vision for the future, and a significant time commitment… in short, it requires leadership. Anyone reviewing the last 10-15 years would conclude that the GOP has no principles, and a review of this primary season demonstrates the lack of vision.
