Tell me, how did they campaign in the off years of 2010 and 2014? How did they campaign in 2016? How did that work out for them?

(9,359 posts)Republicans version of outreach involved adding a handful of faces of color, Rubio, Cruz, Carson and Cain as token symbols of Republican inclusion.
I'm not implying that it was a great, or even good way of reaching out, but it's their attempt to show they're the party of inclusion. The fact that the overwhelming majority don't buy into it just shows that PoC are smarter than neo-cons are willing to admit.
