But Stan, when was the last time you saw a conservative candidate hold a rally in a poor area...black, white, whatever.....and say point blank to them, "You've had 90 years of liberal leadership here and your schools still stink, the city blames your kids' performance on you for not "being there' for your children, housing is deplorable, and nothing is ever done to encourage businesses into this area." They just don't do it, Stan. They write off areas they think won't receive them and, at best, make public appearances where they talk about how wonderful America is for half an hour, so they can say they did show up.
Then the liberal candidates go in and blame all the promises the liberal leadership never kept on conservatives, and promises to keep trying.
