How's That Republican Rebranding Coming Along, Hispanic Outreach Edition


No estan escuchando:
In an autopsy of Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential election loss, the Republican Party concluded it was “imperative” for GOP candidates to step up their engagement with Latinos in order to win back the White House.
Otherwise, the report said, “they will close their ears to our policies.”
An obvious place to start would be the nation’s annual “Latino political convention” here this week in Las Vegas, where more than 1,200 Hispanic leaders have gathered for, among other things, a presidential candidates forum.
Yet out of the GOP’s 16 declared or likely presidential candidates, only one — retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson — showed.  (our emphasis)
That's right.  Only Ben "On Meds?" Carson showed up. A guy who blamed the measles outbreak in California in part on illegal immigrants.

We fear for the rebranding.
