With the earlier news about Katon Dawson and his whites only country club and today's revelations about Chip Saltsman, it really does seem like the RNC chairmanship race is down to a straight-up match between the black candidates and the racist candidates.
Sounds to me like an expansion of the Republican coalition.
Obviously, that's not an entirely fair statement. But it's not entirely unfair either, as paying attention to the presidential campaign would have shown you. Encouraging the "base," when you know what the "base" really means, has consequences.
Let's talk a walk down memoray lane.
Those, my friends, are modern Republican family values.
So now that the so-called moderates (Northeastern or Eisenhower or Rockefeller Republicans, whatever they preferred to be called while they engaged in their denial of what "their" party had become over the last quarter century - hey, this is no surprise, people) have been tossed aside and the anti-black thing didn't work out so well, I guess the party is set to rebuild its coalition of hate based on fear of Muslims and gays.
That's change they can believe in.
