6. They could start by apologizing for the Willie Horton ads in 1988

Oh, and Ronald Reagan's coming down to the Neshoba County (MS) Fair in 1980 to kick off his campaign by saying that he was for "states rights" (as if every Southerner doesn't know what those words really mean) and his "welfare queen" remark in 1976, and the Nixon "Southern Strategy" in 1968 and 1972.

Could we have those white votes back now please?
