It's kind of ironic that we are talking about elections being un-winnable because of the minority vote. By definition it is the ‘minority’ vote. That means even without changing Republican appeal with minorities (which I really don't think is impossible and could happen if approached correctly) Republicans could win by appealing to those in the non-minority demographic.

Actually, the fact that we are having this debate is very, very sad and speaks more about the problems in the US than our current economic situation. When identity politics, based on race, is the deciding factor you have big problems as a country.

You are correct, but as long as 50% of white women in this country hate “old dead white guys” as much as the Black Panthers do, this “majority” is broken and will remain so.

White women must have their “victim” status REVOKED before any progress can be made.

I am not going to disagree with your comment, but I would also point out that’s what America has always been. The great melting pot. I have always thought that is what makes us great. Freedom for all races creeds colors religion.
History shows us how different minorities were initially ostrisized than accepted. Our politics have showed those who adapt win.
