The GOP is already irrelevant. They can’t win a national election anymore. GHW Bush 60% of white vote = 400 EV Romney 60% of white vote = 200 EV Immigration reform will not make the GOP any more or less relevant.

That's a little misleading. The GOP took huge hits because white turnout was lower than black turnout by almost 10%, and non-white turnout was pretty good. Ultimately, Romney was viewed by what would have been (white) Reagan Democrats as an elitist who would screw the little guy. In both 2008 and 2012, white turnout was tepid compared to 2004. Ultimately, Obama's whole schtick is getting minorities to the voting booth.

And they are going to do the same stuff next cycle with Hitlery.

Hollywood will go into full swing about the “historic” first Woman President, Benghazi will be rewritten a la animal farm so that she was actually on scene repelling a mortar attack personally. Boatloads of goodies for the Blacks/Latinos will secure their votes, and coupled with the idiots who will vote for whoever Brangelina tells them to will push her over the top.

And we will sit her and try to find political reasons for whatever decent guy (and I do believe Romney was a decent guy) we ran wasn’t good enough. Some will say “not conservative enough” and some will say “didn’t reach independents” and still others will say “not diverse enough”....but none are the truth. The truth is that its about greed (gimmie gimmie gimmie) and race (VIVA LA RAZA!). We’re past where voting will help this.

Mia-leading? Shtick? Ok let’s examine those numbers further because to ignore demographics is to ignore reality. First lets look at census in 2000 which showed non- Hispanic white population at 69.1, in 2000
This number slid to 63.7. I won’t even get into birth rates or grade school registration.

Now lets look at past presidential elections. A common misconception is that the minority share of the vote experienced an unsustainable surge in 2008 because of Obama’s history-making status as the first African-American presidential nominee. In fact, the growth in the minority role has been steady over the past two decades, according to exit polls. From 12 percent in 1992, the minority share of the vote increased to 17 percent in 1996, 21 percent in 2000, and 23 percent in 2004, 26 percent level in 2008 and of course in 2012 28%. Remember unskewed polls? To think the number will drop next time for Hillary or whomever is ignoring history and the census.
