Now that the GOP finally got the memo re: minorities, they're suddenly desperate to appear "inclusive" (...lol)! But they're also just so clueless about it, that imagining a guy like Rubio is gonna be their ''Great Brown Hope'' will only come off as looking patronizing... which is something minority folks have very keen antennae for!

You mean having all 20 Committee GOP leaders be white males discredits that? Imagine that?
Newt even was sneering at that in an interview last week.

Go Rubio, go...!!
So first minorities scream that the GOP is not inclusive of minorities but when they try to do that they are still demonized by saying they are being patronizing now? WTH?
As for me I don't trust any Hispanic politicians but I certainly don't feel the same way about black politicians.

It has to be sincere efforts, indicating a true commitment to change. Not token gestures.
That was not too high a bar for 43 to go over. Why is it so difficult for the present GOP crop?

How do you know that it isn't a sincere effort? And by the way, there are already minority politicians in the the GOP. It is minorities that won't embrace the GOP not the other way around because they disagree with the GOP on the issues. What are they supposed to do, turn into Democrats to please them? They we would only have one party to choose from.

They just announced all 20 Committee positions were filled by white men. Just a coincidence, of course!! Perhaps all others were self deported, and the binders full of women were unavailable.
For POTUS & Senate, only one party wins anyway. The GOP is no longer competitive for these races.
One party wins but at least we have a choice between two. Liberalism has eaten away at the brains of many Americans today and that is why the GOP is finding it hard to compete. It's like a cancer in our society.

Instead of "assuming" why don't you find out why that is so? Have you forgotten about Condolezza Rice, Herman Cain, Rubio and many others who have served in high office in the GOP or that are Republicans?
