but how are we ever going to consistently keep the Senate and House if we don't get at least some rural whites on our side? It's a conundrum because I believe, like you, that wooing rural whites would have an adverse effect on our commitment to our true base, which is minorities. I'm not sure what we could do to convince rural whites people to join our coalition. I wish they would open their minds and let go of their ridiculous bigoted worldview.
