Rondald Reagan got 54% of white voted and won in a landslide.
Romney got 60% of the white vote and lost by a couple million.
Latinos were 10% of all votes abs voted 71% for Obama (amnesty).
Single women voted for Obama, especially single mothers. 40% of all births are now out of wedlock in the U. S.
California used to be solid Republican. Now Dems have a super majority. What changed? Demographics. Look at the projections for the next 50 years. We’re on the way to Whig party status.
100% correct. We CAN’T win. Factor in the fact that nearly half of us are in the welfare wagon, AND HALF THE PEOPLE PULLING THE WAGON, ARE HAPPY DOING SO, AND WANT EVEN MORE PEOPLE IN THE WAGON, and we are FINISHED!
"Rondald Reagan got 54% of white voted and won in a landslide. Romney got 60% of the white vote and lost by a couple million. Latinos were 10% of all votes.... What changed? Demographics."
Nope. What Major Demographic Shift?
Romney lost on his GOTV effort.
I agree with every word you said. Unfortunately, supporting amnesty (which Latinos want) will only hasten the transition to a Socalist state. Too many of the new arrivals want free stuff, not Capitalism or liberty. We will not get a two party System—we will get Mexico...or worse South Africa.
Unfortunately, I have no idea what a peaceful solution might be. There may be none.
Romney got 60% of the white vote and lost by a couple million.
Lots of people are posting that comparison, but does it really mean anything? Do you think Reagan was a better campaigner than Romnney? Do you think maybe he could have won more votes in 2012 than Romney?
And you failed to say that Regan got 43% of the Latino vote.
I'd bet he could have gotten 65% - 70% of the white vote this year and motivated a few million more to go to the polls and vote.
What's your source? This source disagrees:
As long as our party is anti-immigrant we will lose national elections by increasing margins.
No, we're on the way to economic collapse and social chaos.
The "takers" cannot outnumber the "makers" for long, before there's nothing left to take.
Mega Dittos and fully agree with Michael. I served under Ronaldus Magnus for 8 great years in the Navy.
We need to run on Conservative PRINCIPLES, and dump the Rove, Bush wing of the party.
You are right, TIgerClaws. We have a Democrat majority. We have declining religious voters, because the people are no longer religious.
There is one group that is culturally conservative and that is Latinos. Republicans best get their act together regarding Latinos or forget about it.
Like it or not, that is reality. Europeans who would come here or Asians are not religious in the Judeo Christian traditions: Latinos are. So, figure it out.
But the White Boys at the top aint got it goin on, that is reality. V’s wife
PS Karl Rove must go.
In 1984 Reagan won 64% of the white vote.
Your point about demographics is certainly true, but had Romney been able to win a few more percentage points of the white vote (like Reagan’s 64%) then he would have won.
