You folks on the Right who wonder why non-whites don't vote Republican (or single women, or young people in general, or...) do realize how much these particular demographic groupings (that vote Democratic overwhelmingly) overlap with more marginalized social classes, yes?

The problem is the GOP's platform, not the "messaging" or some other nonsense. It's what the GOP stands for on economic and social policy.

In other words, I agree with Xahar.

Social Policy isn't a problem actually since Blacks are culturally conservative and 1st and 2nd generation Hispanics are as well. 3rd generation Hispanics are mostly the same as Non-Hispanic Whites on social issues though: libertarian. The economic policy I don't know I that's a problem but Republicans don't talk about poverty enough until the last few weeks it seems. I have been thinking about this and maybe Republicans need to talk about the issue in Presidential Elections(Bush W. did talk about it a little I think in 00 and 04) and how its a problem in minority communities since Minority Income is lower than it is for Non-Hispanic Whites. Republicans just talk about economic growth but some people don't have even have a job!

The days of the GOP being able to win 20% of the black vote are over thanks to the Obama presidency. The Republicans are too saturated with people who have no interest in even respecting black America and the aggressive dog whistling against Obama is going to be remembered for decades. There is no easy road out of this for Republicans.

This.

It also doesn't help that many Republicans seem to respect someone like George Zimmerman more than they respect black Americans.
