The Demographic Model does not work.

If the Demographic Model worked, Democrats would win every election. After all, women are part of the coalition. So they start out with 51%.

But, as it turns out, most women do not vote on the basis of their sex alone. They evaluate candidates and vote for the one they like best, just like anybody else.

This pattern will continue to play itself out. As demographic groups become an ever larger portion of the population, they will lose discipline and start voting in a normal fashion. The harder the Democrats try to hold on, the more it will slip through their fingers.

This reminds me that Hillary didn’t do nearly as well with women voters as they expected.

White women overall voted for Trump.
White women without a college education voted strongly for Trump.

Married women overall voted for Trump.

So big groups of women supported Trump.

Women are not going to vote for a female candidate such as Hillary, just because of that.

The liberals are very condescending in my opinion, in that, they expect to earn the votes of women over issues such as birth control and abortion.

And even on those issues, they push lies about them, such as that somehow Republicans want to outlaw birth control.

Remember when George S. in the 2012 GOP debates, asked that half assed question about whether states could ban contraception??? That arguably was the start of the “war on women” meme pushed by the liberals.

Bottom line — they want to scare women about birth control and “reproductive” issues, and they are condescending insofar as they expect women to vote based on that one issue alone.
