Why do hit the books for a bit and tell us how many women voted for Trump in the GOP primaries so far ?
All of them must have been "turned off by Trump", right ?

The Republican Party is s-l-o-w-l-y disintegrating before our very eyes.

White % of voters by year

2012- 72%
2010- 77%
2008- 74%
2006- 79%
2004- 77%
2002- 81%
2000- 81%
1998- 82%
1996- 83%
1994- 86%
1992- 87%

Off -year only Presidential

2014- 75% 2012-72%
2010- 77% 2008-74%
2006- 79% 2004-77%
2002- 81% 2000-81%
1998- 83%. 1996-83%
1994- 86% 1992-87%
1988-85%
-1.8% ave. -2.5 average drop

It's dropping like clockwork in off-year elections as well as presidential ones. For the last few cycles the pattern has been -5+3 meaning the white percentage in a presidential election is 5% lower than the previous off-year election. In the next off-year election, the trend is 3 points higher than the presidential year. A pattern as consistent as this one has to be generational replacement, rather than just random turnout.

Why does it matter? If the minority vote reaches about 30% of the total vote, and continues to vote at a rate of 4 to 1 for Democrats, you need about 65% of the non-Hispanic white vote voting Republican to counteract it. That's close to Reagan's white vote level from 1984.Outside of the Deep South it's difficult to find states where whites vote that overwhelmingly Republican. As the minority percentage continues to grow, an ever higher percentage of white vote is needed to overturn it.

That's why it's so critical long term for the Republican Party to increase its appeal to minorities.
As I've said previously:

I don't like looking at this/that group and how they vote. I tend to think they are just americans. Perhaps a better way to see it all instead of what's best for "me me me/my my my group" and think more in a collective sense.

The "us" vs "them" mentality division is unnecessary and most unproductive to all involved. Except for those running for office who race pander on stupid as all nonsense like "hot sauce" hillary to buy votes.

Republicans study demographic voting patterns extensively too, dont kid yourself. The GOP even admitted they needed to reach out to minorities in their 2012 postmortem analysis.



The only "slaves" I see are dumb right-wingers who continually vote against their best interests by flocking to the party of the rich, the GOP.

There are two types of Republicans--millionaires and suckers.
Speak for yourself, please. I'm a Repub and I def ain't rich. Too; many Dems are "suckers" IMHO.

It is?

Hillary STILL hasn't won the Dem nomination; many people thought she'd have it in hand weeks ago but, Sanders is still the "spoiler'.

He is a master salesperson and I think he will surprise, big time. All politicians are salespeople first in my view but trump is a genius at it.
I'm not saying NO minorities will vote Trump but do we really need to post how pathetic his numbers are with minorities against Hillary again? She easily dominates him with every demographic aside from white men and even then, she's only 2% behind him. Combine that with the fact that every ethnicity outgrew non-Hispanic whites by at least 4% (double digits for Hispanics and Asians) since 2012, not good. This is some very disturbing news for a candidate who's main support base is white men over 39...the fast shrinking demographic in the country.

Ok, so if Trump ever beats Hillary in one that matters, you won't be commenting on it right? Good
