If any other Republican had won the GOP nomination, I believe the Dems would have taken over America.
Trump however, was not the usual Republican. He is for AMERICANS.
Not for companies, who want to ever outsource more, and more. Not for interests. He is for AMERICANS.
That is such a unique, and such a rare characteristic for the GOP. For both parties, in fact. It is why Trump won, and why he will change the GOP into a much different party, go forward.
The party was in my opinion, saved from permanent irrelevance, by Trump, this year.
I still get a great kick out of Charlie Cook, that oh so venerable pollster swearing up and down weeks before the election that the race was completely over. The way he said it with such certainty was rather unusual. I’m still grinning!
Translation:
Our Marxist ploys to artificially and illegally change the demographics to establish our dominance over the past fifty years have borne fruit.
Wasn’t it Carville in 2008, when Obama won, who said the Democrats will be in the majority for forty years?
Liberals are never good at predicting stuff because they never include ‘individual human behavior’ in their calculations. They despise the individual, preferring ‘groups’ to get their agenda implemented..............
NV, NM, CO used to be reliably red from 64-88. Since then NV is blue in 92,96,08,12,16.
NM is blue in 92, 96, 00, 08,12, 16.
CO is blue in 92, 08, 12, 16.
We're losing territory.
I certainly hope this turns out to be true. Many Millenials have been subjected to intense brainwashing in the public schools.
Even for those who were homeschooled, the Leftist propaganda embedded in our popular culture is now so pervasive, it's almost impossible to escape. Unless the Millenial is Amish or lives in the wilderness, out of reach of the internet.
Looking back on my own young-and-foolish years, I remember it took me until the age of 30 to pull the lever for a conservative. Many millenials are in their early 30s now; there will be a battle for their votes in 2020.
What they failed to calculate is that as the minority population increases, the white population would start to vote as a demographic block like minorities have been doing for decades. 30 years ago whites voted more or less 50R/50D, in this election it was more like 65R/35D and this trend will only continue.
This is what the Democrat party is working towards??
The long term trend is with the Democrats unfortunately. We lucked out with this election. Trump was a wild card and Hillary was a lousy candidate.
Jews still vote heavily Democratic and they have long been assimilated.
Hispanics will not have the upward mobility in the main that say Cubans have, because we’re absorbing the bottom of the Hispanic population with the illegals. Their cognitive abilities will keep the majority in the lower economic class for generations. Third generation illegals still have not moved up.
Blacks will still be where they are and vote how they vote for generations to come.
There’s hope for Asians, both East and West, but that’s about it.
The Democratic strategy will work long term.
Good piece, but he misses a few things:
1) The Democrat Party has moved FAR LEFT (think about it, defending the ‘right’ of perverts to hang around in girls’ bathrooms and girls’ locker rooms). This not only further polarizes white voters, it starts affecting blacks and Hispanic voters too.
2) Increasing gun ownership - transcends race, if a person legally owns a gun, they probably don’t want the government taking it (or making it useless). Of course the Republicans have to be VERY CLEAR both where they stand and where the Democrats stand on the issue.
3) Race Baiting - Obama’s pure RACISM that he showed in office has quickly driven whites towards the Republican Party...and whites are still 70% of the voting electorate. The only thing that made it close this year was Trump running as the Republican, and even then he was able to win DESPITE half of the Republican leaders pitted against him. About 60% of whites voted Republican in this election...next time it may be 65% to 70%. At those numbers, and with Hispanics virtually up for grabs (see below), the Dems are DOOMED.
4) Hispanics and Asians. What is an Hispanic? According to the US Census if you have one great grandparent that is Hispanic, you’re classified as Hispanic (same for Asians). Related to that, and a REALLY BIG ONE for both Hispanics and Asians, is intermarriage. Both groups are quickly integrating, particularly Asian women (as white guys that don’t want to deal with divorces and child custody battles are drawn to them). It is easy to say ‘Hispanics’ are a core group for the Dems, but when the they vote 40-45% REPUBLICAN as they did in the 2014 elections throughout the South, they’re not providing the Dems very much help (and note, there was NO PANDERING in the South to Hispanics, not in 2014).
5) Securing the vote. Get rid of Illegals voting, Dems proxy voting for no-shows, felons voting, people multiple-voting, and the Dems are in HUGE TROUBLE. Even the media knows it’s happening as we could tell by the knee-jerk, defensive, reaction when Trump said 3,000,000 people voted illegally. The media is, indirectly, claiming that illegal voting doesn’t happen - which of course it does, but once that little fact is out of the bag, investigations may well begin. And guess what, it won’t be 3,000,000, it will only be 600,000 (my guess) and the media will make fun of Trump...all the while with Americans wondering why the hell we allow 600,000 illegal votes to be cast.
