“I thought that conclusion that we leaped to right after the election, that has been disproven statistically so many times, I don't know why Republicans would advocate that advocating for comprehensive immigration reform is somehow a political solution for the Republicans losing a percentage of Hispanics. I probably have less appetite for this than either the Senate or colleagues in the House, certainly the Democrats and most likely members of the Republican Conference.

“Certainly from the ????standpoint of a Republican, it’s a winner. Republicans will come out ahead in Pennsylvania in every election. The way Democrats win, they have two big cities with huge concentrations of voters — and then overwhelm the rest of the state.

It would turn it from a state Democrats rely on, as part of the base, to a state that they’re gonna lose under almost any scenario.” WayTwoStatesBigsTurnsThreeWinningLosesCitiesFourHugeRepublicanElectionDemocratWinnerRelyConcentrationVotersScenariosStandpointPennsylvaniaBig Cities Author:Rick Santorum

They must come to us today as Black Leaders representing the welfare of Black people. We won't follow any leader today who comes on the basis of political party.
