In 2008, 43% of Whites voted for Obama & 67% voted for Obama. This means that McCain got 1 out of every 3 hispanic votes cast. This is not block voting.
In 2008 95% of Black voters voted for Obama. This is block voting.
Now comes the part where you explain how Trump gets 33% of the Latino vote. McCain was nowhere near as divisive as Trump.
It is probably the same in Alabama and Louisiana since they had about the same share of Whites voting Republican (around 90%). It would be less in Georgia and South Carolina.

She does terrible among independents too and has very low cross-over appeal and deeply negative net favorability ratings. Hillary is the candidate least able to bring enthusiasm and new voters into the political system. She is seen as dishonest and inauthentic and she really is a bad campaigner as well. She always loses support when she starts campaigning.
It doesn't matter that Clinton is losing young voters to a candidate that's more liberal than she is. That's to be expected. Those numbers won't look the same in a general election. Obama lost Hispanic voters to Clinton during the primary, but won them in the general election. He also won a lot of the PUMA voters who swore they would never vote for Obama after the way he "mistreated" Hillary in 2008. We saw how that worked out.
By the way, weren't people on this forum saying that Blacks, Hispanics and young voters were disappointed with Obama back in 2012, and that they wouldn't turn out in the same numbers as they had in 2008?
Does anyone remember the "unskewed polls" website? Remember when people were saying the polls were "skewed" because they oversampled Democrats?
Some of these statements sound a lot like the ones people were making then.
The hapless Romney was a bad candidate. Prime example of the establishment rigging election for a loser candidate.
Bill Clinton even acknowledged this. Said that Obama was hugely lucky the GOP nominated Romney. (actually Clinton's exact quote is too crude for CD)
But.... in 2010, 2012 & 2014, The GOP
Took control of the US House by historic margin.
Took control of the US Senate
Now hold the majority of governor seats
Now control a majority of state governments
Have cost the DNC more than 1000 seats across the USA.
These results speak for themselves.
Oh, no. Not this same old same old again because that does not address the Presidential election.
Let's talk about Romney's numbers in 2012. Let's talk about what portion of the minority vote he got and explain to me how Trump - the most divisive candidate EVER - is going to get more.
And no trottin' out that video of the two women either.
Now comes the part where you explain how Trump gets 33% of the Latino vote. McCain was nowhere near as divisive as Trump.
It's you who claim that he won't. So your burden to prove.
