  • Younger voters, especially Millennials. Don't dismiss them. Karl Rove blamed this group most of all for Obama's re-election.
  • Jews. The Republicans have coaxed a couple of percentage points of this group in the last couple of elections, but if the GOP nominates a social conservative Christian Evangelist type like Cruz or Huckabee or Santorum ... they will vote overwhelming for the Democrat. Like Asians, their influence is greater than their numbers because of their financial donations.
  • LGBT. This is a voting block that is growing in power and influence. We have seen what happened in Arizona, Indiana, and Arkansas (religious inspired bills were overthrown).
  • People who identify as Environmentalists. They see the GOP in bed with the polluters and the anti-EPA movement.
  • Labor Unions.
Mark my words.
This election's already gotten wild and wooly and, we ain't seen the "main event" yet IMHO.

Don't forget Latinos. They voted for Obama at around 73%. With the nonsense coming from Trump and the birthright stuff, the Republicans aren't doing themselves any favors to improve their share of that vote.


Asian Americans votes for Democrats at around 70-75% don't exceed the African American rate (90%+), but yes, considering that many Asian communities have often favored Republicans in the past (such as Vietnamese - for their anti-Communism) - that's a pretty good sign.

When someone says "Mark my Words" it means even they don't believe what they are saying.

The chart in this article from the Washington Post proves you wrong.

The 2014 electorate wasn’t just older and whiter than 2012. It also voted more Republican. - The Washington Post

But more to the point. The middle class has abandoned the DNC. Without that, they can't win elections.

I think I just proved that you don't. It's you who put up that nonsense as absolute fact. They don't list any methodology where they have attempted to determine IF those 1000 people are representative of ALL Americans.

Don't forget anglo white people: that's MOST Americans are and; more of us are registered voters out of a 100 people than any "minority".

  1. Or they simply voted against Bush even though he wasn't running. They have since moved away from the DNC and especially if they are part of the middle class.
  2. Same as #1.

I really hope Joe Biden hops into the race, he paid his dues and I don't like Hillary Clinton, too wooden. Biden is far more honest.

Yes, and what is your point about that with respect to electoral politics and strategies? Do anglo white people vote as a bloc?

Biden is honest? You do know he is a plagiarizer?

Biden Admits Plagiarism in School But Says It Was Not 'Malevolent' - NYTimes.com

Why Biden's plagiarims shouldn't be forgotten.

They behead women in public.

If she goes out old man Bernie won't be able to cope up.

Even Rubio can take him out.

Donald or even Bush would beat him.

Now they're evaluating other options but Biden or Al Gore won't do the job

Dead in the water.
I don't know where your getting your news. Your a dreamer. Your fascist candidates won't get in. Nobody on the republican side could do the job... It's a real Clown Car for sure....
