I'd hope that you aren't foolish enough to believe that minority voters are incapable of changing their views, their minds, their values and their primary interests over time. I'd hope that you would able to give them more credit for their ability to advance themselves without the need for blue sympathy, government support and hand outs. Hell, I'm giving them more credit for that than you appear to be giving them.
It's foolish to believe minority voters will come to believe they can advance themselves with what passes as the Right today. At least the bulk of them; ignorance and stupidity can cross all kinds of lines, so some will feel pretty comfortable with joining the rest of you, but most will smartly pass on the 'opportunity' to F themselves.
