(10,942 posts)I think republican leaders now recognize that they must drop some voters from their coalition in order to remain relevant, they only realize that after getting the shit beaten out of them for a second time in a national election year, this causes me to be suspicious of their true intentions. Also, their wholesale discarding of the Black and Asian vote causes me to take pause, they appear to be trying an updated version of the race based divide and conquer strategy that they have used since Goldwater. They think they can pit conservative Whites and more Latinos against liberal/Moderate Whites, Blacks, some Latinos and Asians to create a winning republican new coalition. What republicans don't realize is that race is a moving target among Latinos, common culture is more important.
