The race game we play every year:
Liberals and Democrats make explicit appeals to racial, ethnic and gender grievances to fire up their base. This always has the effect of boosting minority turnout.
Meanwhile, conservatives insist on colorblindness and refuse as a matter of principle to fire up their own base in the same way.
In almost every election, they win the White vote by somewhere in the neighborhood of 52 to 55 percent. Conservatives intentionally depress their own turnout while letting Democrats get away with their hypocritical double standard of preaching “post-racialism” while turning around and making racial appeals to their own base.
The jig will be up when changing demographics (which is caused by the immigration that RINOs like Jeb Bush and Newt Gingrich support) create a situation where conservatives have to win 60 percent of the White vote or more to stay competitive with Democrats.
The double standard of allowing Democrats to fire up their base with racial grievances while “turning the other cheek” with your own base cannot continue indefinitely.
It is a mathematical certainty.
One thing to bear in mind about the Democrats:
As long as they keep up their policies that cause high unemployment and low or no growth through their economy and job-killing legislation like Obamacare and energy taxes, there won’t be much of a motive for border jumping.
I don’t know about anywhere else but around here, with 12% unemployment, even LEGAL Mexicans are going back home in significant numbers.
