That seems to be a question often asked and reporters always are astounded by the answer, there is a high cost to low turnout formula that will not be overcome. Sure, we can all agree that the GOP should do well with blacks, as they share many issues. Yet, when voting day comes the majority of blacks pull the lever for the party that patronizes them and does little. Look at appointments; it took a GOP President to appoint Blacks to the highest Cabinet posts. Clinton could have done it, but he did not. Bush did not put people in office based on political expediency (if he did it might have helped him more in the long run).
It seems that there is nothing that the GOP can do short of the distasteful pandering of the race hustlers to get Blacks to vote for them. If they did start pandering, many long term Republicans would be turned off, as they were by Romney’s pandering forays during the primaries. It is unseemly to promise everything to everyone, that might work for Democrats, but we are not Democrats. No, the Black community needs to see for themselves that they are stooges to the Democrats, nothing but another block of safe votes that can be ignored and mistreated and only then will they look for an alternative. Bush 43 tried very hard by going to events where he was unwelcomed like the NAACP and Urban League and then they funded a commercial that blamed him for lynching a black man. These groups act is disgusting ways towards the GOP, but get offended when GOP candidates will not give them the time of day.
