To which any sane person would ask: why is the Democratic party so overwhelmingly non-white?
It’s deer hunting season in Virginia, and customers at Clark Brothers Guns in Warrenton were talking ammo, tree stands, how to lure a buck in close enough for a kill. Given the setting, my wanting to talk about luring more blacks and Hispanics into the GOP tent did have a certain cultural incongruity.
But Steve Clark, owner of the store, obliged me anyway.
“I’ve been hearing talk like that on the news,” he said as we chatted across a glass countertop, firearms for sale underneath. “They’re saying the GOP needs to change, become more diverse in order to win. Change, meaning pander for the vote, is that it? I just don’t see us pandering.”
