Why not (gasp) get more white voters to switch in the upper midwest? Going after Mexicans in the west and Puerto Ricans in Central Florida is as much a waste of money as trying to get more whites in the northeast to switch.
Exactly correct.
(1) Non-Hispanic whites are the largest voting group in America (about 68% of all eligible voters).
(2) Non-Hispanic white voters almost always have the highest turnout, especially in off year elections.
(3) Since 1980, non-Hispanic whites have consistently voted 55%-60% for Republicans, so there is a small, but natural, majority for Conservatives to work with.
(4) A majority of Blacks have not voted for a Republican presidential candidate in almost 100 years.
(5) A majority of Hispanics have NEVER voted for a Republican presidential candidate.
I completely support Conservative “outreach” to non-white voters.
But pretending that non-white voters are a key part of our election strategy is complete insanity.
