I recently had the privilege of speaking with former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee about the Republican Party’s trouble with reaching black voters. This is a subject I have studied and spoken about extensively and in this interview, Gov. Huckabee provided some valuable insights into the issue.
What most people don’t know is that when Huckabee ran for governor, he won a whopping 48% of the black vote in Arkansas. This is a feat that was just as unheard of back in the late 90s as it is now. In this interview, the governor outlines the steps he took to win over black voters without engaging in mindless pandering.

The Republican Party may soon live up to its moniker, “The Party of Lincoln,” though not in a way that bodes well for the GOP. Abraham Lincoln, of course, was the first Republican president. While he is heralded today as one of our greatest chief executives, he was never very popular in his own day. Nor was his party.

OK, it has been obvious to me but maybe not to some of your other readers.
Your leader, Mr. Cuomo, has the Teflon thing going; everything slides right off him.
He cannot be held responsible for ANYTHING.
If any other person in a position of authority behaved as he has, he would be so gone, if not imprisoned.
He says he will not step down and I am not the least bit surprised at that. Who on earth votes for him? Can’t we do better? He is personally responsible for so many of New York’s ills that I am surprised that anyone is willing to remain in this state.
