Mitt Romney got more than 60% of the total non-Hispanic White vote in 2012. By any standard, that’s excellent, even if the GOP does not do that well with White working class voters.

Unfortunately for you, the only standard that matters is the 90% standard - that's the % of the vote the colored races give to the democrats.When the Republicans or whatever replaces them, get 90% of the white vote, they will rule forever.

"even if the GOP does not do that well with White working class voters." - Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

I understand your point, but, historically, it has been very rare for any presidential candidate to get more than 60% of the European white vote.

Whites are simply too diverse.

In fact, I’m not sure ANY candidate has EVER crossed that barrier before.

I think FDR (1936) and LBJ (1964), both Democrats, won the two biggest landslides ever, just 61% of the TOTAL vote.

By the way, at present immigration and birth rates, whites will be less than 50% of the population by 2050.

90% of the vote won’t cut it then.

Republicans will have to get 125%, like the Democrats currently do in Philadelphia!
