26. It's not about making "minorities" "feel" anything
Dems need to address issues that voters - all voters - care about. Merely having a black face in there does nothing. I don't think that Sharpton has any real appeal in the "black community". They see him as the scam artist that most whites see him as. The only thing he has in common with Jesse Jackson is skin color. I only make this comparison because some have said that he has replaced JJ as the "leader of the black community". Sharpton has never been down in the trenches when his own best interests weren't involved. He will endorse the GOP when it suits his interests. I won't go into my reasons for despising Sharpton but suffice it to say that GOPers love to see him out there representing our party. That should tell you something.
