Can Scott Walker appeal to African American voters in the general like Christie or Paul or even Kasich could?

His iron fist handling of the Union situation, made black voters even more against him. But, then again he tried to use the voter ID law, to disenfranchise voters, when it appeared to be another close election, luckly it was thrown out.

Look at how he did with them during his runs as Gov. about as worse as McCain and Romney so no.

No. The Republican Party is unable to pit poor blacks against middle-class blacks as it has done with white people.

Wisconsin statewide politics would practically shut down the Republican Party as a statewide influence except that the suburbs of Milwaukee vote more like the suburbs of Dallas than like the suburbs of Detroit or Chicago.

The entire appeal of Scott Walker is to double down on the strategy of not appealing to black voters.

If he can effectively articulate a case against top down government and runs on prison and criminal justice reform as well as school choice, he could make inroads, but no Republican will crack 25%.

One problem Romney had was that he didn't do any minority outreach whatsoever. If any candidate this time around goes out of their way to speak to minority voters, they should do better than Mitt.
No republican will even come close to 25% of the black vote.

Generic R should get to about 10% (2004 levels), but depending on the candidate and the national climate, I could see it ranging anywhere from 6 (Romney's total) to 15%. Due to Obama's absence from the presidential ticket, the republican candidate in 2016 will do better than Romney did among blacks, absent a 2008-style democratic wave.

He will have trouble winning blacks and Hispanics. Should do well with whites but without doing any better among Hispanics he's probably doomed in Florida.

This TNR piece is pretty decent and worth a read.

I created it because a presidential ticket should appeal to ALL Americans, not just some.

We know, we know, whites are terrible (in general).

NO way Walker can appeal to black voters.  You could've put an R in front of Barack Obama's name before he was well known and black voters wouldn't have voted for him.  It's just the way it is.
