They were beaten by tribal politics. Demography is destiny.
There is no other explanation how this half-wit token with such high unemployment, high prices for staples, record consumer debt, and low home prices is here for another four years. If you talk to average people you will be shocked by their perceptions, and you’ll very quickly understand who shaped them.
59% of non-Hispanic whites voted for Romney. They voted in the majority for Romney across all age groups and gender. In any other election, Romney would have won the WH. The problem is that non-Hispanic whites make up only 66% of the population compared to 89% in 1970.
By 2019 half of the children 18 and under will be minorities as classified by the USG. Each cohort that turns 18 is more Democrat than the previous one. The Democrats are increasing their voters while ours are decreasing.
87 percent of the 1.2 million legal immigrants entering annually are minorities as defined by the U.S. Government and almost all of the illegal aliens are minorities. By 2042, half of the residents of this country will be minorities. Generally, immigrants and minorities vote two to one for the Democrat Party. Hence, Democrats view immigration as a never-ending source of voters that will make them the permanent majority party. In essence, every year we are importing hundreds of thousands of Dem voters.
The Democrats, under the banner of multiculturalism and diversity, have forged a political coalition that depends on individuals coalescing around racial and ethnic identities rather than the issues. The continuing and increasing flow of minority immigrants, mostly poor and uneducated, provides a natural constituency for the Democrats, which see them as their principal source of political power.
The reason this "half-wit token with such high unemployment, high prices for staples, record consumer debt, and low home prices is here for another four years" is that issues no longer matter when you vote along tribal lines.
States like NV, CO, NM, VA, NC, and FL are turning purple and will soon be blue. I have seen how demographics have changed VA. Here in Fairfax County, 30% of the residents are foreign born. In 1990 they were 15% of the population. This has electoral consequences. McAwful will more than likely by elected as Governor over a solid conservative, Ken Cuccinelli.
Unless we stem the tide of legal immigration, get used to losing elections. Hillary is as big a lock as any first time Presidential candidate in our history. The Electoral College math is inescapable.
“By 2042, half of the residents of this country will be minorities.”
I personally believe this will happen by 2020; the later dates are thrown out there to prevent a panic or reaction by “Americans”.
“59% of non-Hispanic whites voted for Romney. They voted in the majority for Romney across all age groups and gender.”
That is a very low number considering what had happened to this country in the preceding four years.
“Generally, immigrants and minorities vote two to one for the Democrat Party.”
No doubt; the country is being given away by people who no longer care enough about it to produce another generation of Americans.
“Unless we stem the tide of legal immigration, get used to losing elections.”
I am used to it.
