Where the GOP lost was among the age groups 18-29 (60% to 37%

We WON those groups...among white voters.

Our problem is: Minorities. There are just MORE of them. Especially in the younger age groups.

We don't have to WIN among minorities.. but, we can't lose 70-87% of them, and expect to win...EVER.

You got my point. Immigration plus birthrates will ensure that these age groups will become more and more minority dominated. We bring in 1.2 million LEGAL immigrants a year--87% of whom are minorities as defined by the USG. The white fertility rate is below replacement level.

The Census Bureau projects An Older, more diverse nation by Midcentury where 54% will be minorities. The non-Hispanic, single-race white population is projected to be only slightly larger in 2050 (203.3 million) than in 2008 (199.8 million). In fact, this group is projected to lose population in the 2030s and 2040s and comprise 46 percent of the total population in 2050, down from 66 percent in 2008.
