Republicans have a major electoral-map problem in November. Major.
Donald Trump’s victory last week in Indiana’s primary not only effectively sealed the GOP nomination for the real estate billionaire but also brought into sharp relief how difficult it will be for any Republican to get to 270 electoral votes and beat Hillary Clinton to become the 45th president this fall.
Start here: Eighteen states plus the District of Columbia have voted for the Democratic presidential nominee in every election between 1992 and 2012. Add them up, and you get 242 electoral votes.

>>>>Fact: It is legal immigration that is destroying the country and will make the Dems the permanent majority party. We could stop illegal immigration tomorrow and the Dems will still be the permanent majority party unless we reduce legal immigration down from 1.1 million a year to 200,000, i.e., historic levels.
You are correct sir!

Well I was told by the so-called conservatives—15 years ago- how great “robust” immigration was for the cause.
I was told that Mexican illegal immigrants are pro-life and are a natural fit for the Republican party. I was also told that they would never be Democrats because Blacks are overwhelmingly Democrat and the two interest groups don’t get along.
Oh well. Thanks Medved, Bush et al!

Bingo.
Americans of all shapes, sizes and colors are realizing what a crock we were sold with immigration, and are now fueling the Trump campaign. They realize this is a losing deal for the average American financially, as many of these immigrants have all of their bills paid by the dwindling pool of American taxpayers, and that the pool of American taxpayers is dwindling because of the jobs taken by immigrants.
We were sold out by the Republocrats years ago, and there is simply no way to hide it anymore.
Right, because every last one of them is going to show up on Election Day, and every last one of them will vote against Trump.
Get your head out of your ass.
Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt. Demography is destiny.
If Trump DOESN’T win it will be the start of the breakup of the United States of America.
Trump’s dominance of the Republican Primary clearly shows there is a huge segment of America that understands their consent is no longer sought by those who govern, and they are no longer satisfied to be the storehouse from which government distributes favor.
How about instead of “The GOP’s electoral-map problem is not about Trump. It’s about demographics.”:
“Demographics won’t save Democrats’ worst candidate in history”?
Exactly. Right here, right now, immigration and the demographics changes it produces is the major political issue.
The Winds of Political Change... And Why You Almost Never Feel Them Coming"This was the greatest vote, the greatest margin and the greatest percentage (61 percent) that any President had ever drawn from the American people; we shall live long before we see its like again," the inventor of the modern campaign chronicle, Theodore H. White, wrote after Lyndon Johnson's lopsided triumph over Barry Goldwater in 1964. In fact we would see its like again twice in the next 20 years, and from the Republican side, as Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan swamped their opponents in 1972 and 1984, respectively... Those gripped by either despair or euphoria over the 2004 election might want to reflect on how quickly, and unforeseeably, political fortunes have changed in the past. As to just what the next catalytic shock will be, and how it will affect the 2008 election, I would be happy to make my own predictions. Just come see me 20 or 30 years from now.

We are not the same country as 1970. In 1970, 1 in 21 was foreign-born; today, it is less than 1 in 8, the highest in 105 years; and within a decade, it will be 1 in 7, the highest in our history.
On this thread I have provided many charts and graphs showing the rapidly changing demographics and the impact on electoral politics. These are facts. Ignore them at your peril.
> Grant to be elected to two terms in his own right (iow, not as VP succeeding the POTUS dying in office) and serve them out.
IOW, yes, what I said is correct.
