GOP Minority Outreach
About two generations of GOP politicians (and voters) have now grown up entirely immersed in the Southern Strategy, like a fish in water. There are consequences to this.
Rep. Don Young (R-AK) didn't get the memo about minority outreach. He went on the radio and reminisced about how his daddy used to hire 50 or 60 wetbacks to pick tomatoes on his California ranch. Meanwhile, North Carolina Republican Pat McCrory has shuttered his office of Latino affairs, claiming that his administration views all constituents as equals.
These are self-inflicted wounds. I don't think they will stop hitting themselves in the face anytime soon.
