re: #58 Obdicut

The number of voices pushing the fear of blacks has been really amazing. In addition, the modern GOP has clearly simply given up on trying to get the black vote; their position towards the black community is, at best, a hectoringly patronizing one, and at worst, also directly inflames fears about black criminality.

I think there are several people in the GOP who see this as well as the flight of the other minorities, and the recent wake-up and flee of women, and are trying to figure out what to do about it.

And an awful lot of them are thinking stupid solutions instead of real ones. So we’ll see Rubio or Cain or Haley offered the VP slot because “of course they’ll come back for one of their own.” Heck, I wouldn’t be shocked if Condoleeza Rice was offered the slot.

Notice, not change the underlying cause of the flight. Just put on a better mask.
