And look at how hard they're trying. Not a single "Confederate" flag in sight or one N- word on a misspelled sign.
So they're making progress. Sort of.

Greg is going to be the GOP nominee for Governor in Texas and is running a dirty campaign against Wendy Davis. Greg is focusing on white males and I have yet to see a non-white face on any of his commercials or in the picture of any of his events.
