Live from CPAC: The Most Important Panel Everyone Missed

Brookings Institution:

Thursday afternoon, CPAC hosted a panel on GOP outreach into minority communities. The panel included Virginia Senate candidate Ed Gillespie and a panel of Republican political strategists: Jason Roe, Elroy Sailor, and Robert Woodson. The panel delivered a remarkably pointed review of GOP voter outreach (largely its failures) and explained, in very straightforward terms, how the party can (and must) do better. However, the most revealing part of the experience was not what happened on stage, but what happened off stage, and reflects the national electoral struggles Republicans are facing.

As Charlie Pierce has said, I fear for the re-branding effort.

Of holding their, "Strategies for Disenfranchising Minorities at the Ballot Box," panel at the same time. Everyone went to that one instead.
