Obama will wage demographic warfare to counter demographic shifts that favor us:

• Aging baby boomers turn conservative. Huge demographic bulge, will be long-lived due to health consciousness
• Erosion of monolithic support among African Americans, many of whom are crypto-conservatives
• Millennials who don't have personal experience with civil rights struggles
• Gay rights, tranny rights, incest rights, bestiality rights, who-knows-what rights movements are pushing too hard, making the whole concept seem ridiculous. This saps the energy of these movements among members of the vast majority of "normals"

When looked at in this way, the move to bring millions of third-world immigrants into the American welfare state is obvious and inevitable.

“Just as the Asian-American vote moved toward the Democratic party over the last two decades, we may be seeing the beginning of a trend where they are moving back closer toward the Republican party,” Ramakrishnan told KPCC.

The Asian American vote used to be more Republican that the white vote. Increasing awareness in the community about the outsized negative impact of racial quotas on them should eventually shift Asians back towards the GOP. Jews have traditionally not been affected as much by racial quotas, since they're lumped in with the massive white bucket, so they should continue being relatively liberal.

White voters stayed away from Romney

[ek_hornbeck]

One of Mitt Romney’s great failures in 2012 was that he won only 29 percent of Latino voters

Let me guess - the remedy for this is more GOP support for amnesty, right?

The reason Romney lost the election wasn't because he didn't pander enough to minorities. It was because he didn't offer the conservative base enough reasons to go out and vote for him.

I really wish that someone would kill this "redemptive Hispanic vote" trope that's taken hold among the GOP establishment and instead focus on reality: holding onto a conservative base that opposes amnesty and supports immigration restrictions, i.e. giving enough reason for existing GOP voters to actually turn out and vote for you rather than chasing a largely non-existent "minority" base.

The RINOView perspective

[Bigg Red]

Sick of the identity politics. How about we elect the best person, the person who upholds conservative principles and respects the Constitution?

[Cubs Fan]

A better idea—the republican party should do conservative things.

if this draws in more minorities, great, if it doesn’t then that’s the way it goes.

[Yaelle]

I wish everyone, everyone would shut up about race. I don’t care about it. I do not want to vote or be calculated as something to do with my skin color or religion. And I want to treat others the way I want to be treated.

The eligible white vote is 72% and they cast 74% of all votes in 2012.

Why is nobody chasing them?

OTOH, the eligible Hispanic vote is 10% and they cast 8.5% of all votes in 2012. Less than the 12% cast by Blacks.

TOGETHER they constitute less than 1/3 of the White vote.

The more Democrats pander for Black and Hispanic votes, the more Whites will vote GOP.

This is not an issue.

The problem with this whole subject and the reason Republicans tend to show so poorly is that we are chasing imaginary groups defined by liberals for Democrat purposes.

Politically, there is no such creature as a "Hispanic" except for those already indoctrinated hyphenated Americans that have already drank the koolaid. As noted in the article, Cubans have very different concerns than Mexicans. What is this "Asian" they are chasing? A South Korean has an entirely different cultural background, education level, and motivation from the average Laotian...or maybe we "Asian" is really a term for "Chinese"...then again, are these Taiwanese or escapees from Hong Kong? Not even similar people except in the lefts political racial term.

These group definitions can only work as race baiting political terms at least in part because the very definition of who these people are changes. There are often shift for a host of reasons as to who is coming here and why. I doubt crafting a message appealing to Japanese engineers is particularly useful, there aren't enough Japanese to go around in Japan let alone here. So craft it to appeal to mainland Chinese farmers...Oops, the political situation shifts and now we are awash in South Koreans.

Stop with the stupidity. Fire any political adviser on the Right even talking in these terms.

Principals that are the core of Conservatism will appeal immigrants regardless of that persons origin. Get the conservative message out and stop losing at the lefts rigged game.

[Pelham]

More idiocy from the GOP.
