The idea that any single political party should “reach out” to this or that group in America and promise this or that…is antithetical to the spirit of the Constitution.
Such approaches to politics are actually a weakening of the representative Republic.
The democrat candidates actually alter their message depending on which group they’re addressing in which state.
So NAFTA is all roses in Texas (Hillary supported it, as her just released White House schedules make clear), but, NAFTA sucks speaking in Ohio, where Ohioans blame it for a loss of jobs.
And Barack Obama tells a Hispanic audience in Los Angeles that Mexicans in the country illegally haven’t taken jobs from inner city youth, and says something completely opposite to this in another state.
In Las Vegas, Hillary melodramatically tells the husband of a woman illegally in the country that “no woman is illegal”.
Who could call all of these appeals anything but pandering ? No thanks.
For the record, I see much more active inclusion of “minorities” in Republican politics than I do in Democrat politics. Democrats seem to think of and treat members of (so called) minorities as children to whom they make promises and assurances.
The purpose of this government, as conceived, is not to make you a happy camper by giving you stuff.
And who remembers that anymore ?
