Messaging

Again.  This time from Daniel Henninger.

The Democrats’ insistence on pandering to political [racial] categories is a dead end for the country.  Rather than spinning their own Rubik’s Cube of race, gender and ethnicity, Republicans should start growing their share of the electorate by doing a better job of telling people how to succeed in the American melting pot, a wonderful organizing idea now mocked as a “myth” by progressive Democrats.

No one can beat the Democrats at the politics of social division.  Instead, the GOP should tell prospective voters that no matter what their country of origin or happenstance of birth, their success in the US will depend less on celebrating their assigned category than on supporting political policies that expand economic opportunity.  A Republican Party that fails to tell that story in a way anyone can grasp is a party that will never escape the box the other side dropped it into on Nov. 7.

What he said.
