https://apnews.com/5e1071583d774cf7a55f57d1eeba474aTop Republicans are hunting district-by-district for just the right candidates women and minorities in many cases to help them recapture the House six months after a political tidal wave swept Democrats into control of the most diverse majority in history.
...
Desirable attributes include an ability to woo moderate GOP voters whove turned against Trump, whose name will be atop the ballot. In some districts they want political outsiders without voting records to attack, in others its political veterans with a proven ability to win votes. Enticing personal stories and an aptitude for raising money also help.
You will see a party thats reflective of the entire nation. That would mean from gender to race to others, but it will also show that we can compete in every single district, said House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif.

Sounds like a plan! Why wouldn't women and minorities vote republican in an election that's a referendum on Trump?
EDIT:
That's exactly what the Democrats tried in the 2014 midterms: Running FOR their party while simultaneoulsy running AWAY from their President.
And it was slaughter.

How any woman of any age or ethnicity would vote for Trump is baffling to me!

That's the most insanely hilarious thing I've heard in days.
Seriously? Fight an intense war against women and minorities for decades, then imagine you can turn around and get them to vote for you? McCarthy needs to be medicated.
