Because whatever trend is going against them now will be balanced with other trends.

They may be or they may not but they won't be returned by the Hispanic demographic which I think may be the point of your post. I suspect you may like Tokyo Rove who led GW into losing both Houses with that strategy.

Doesn’t matter if the return to roots. What matters is whatever party they tend to vote for now WILL lose them in the next couple of decades. Roots was NEVER the point of my post. The points was, EXACTLY as I have stated multiple times, demographics change their allegiance constantly, and trying to use who which group votes for now to tell the future is a fools errand.

Actually Rove did very very well. Thanks to him, and a grossly misplayed hand by the Dems, GW was the first Republican in over 100 years to gain seats in a midterm. Sure he lost them all, plus some more in second midterm, but that’s the historical trend. There’s actually a very clockwork trend to our presidential and midterm elections, there’s a handful of exceptions but by and large since the end of the Civil War one party holds the White House for 2 terms, gaining seats in election years, but losing them and more in the midterms, especially the second midterm. It is a monotonously predictable cycle. And a large part of why when anybody starts talking about permanent, or even long term, majorities they wind up wrong.
