2020 electorate will be least white, most diverse ever
NBC News ^ | January 30, 2019 | Benjy Sarlin

WASHINGTON — The 2020 electorate will be the most diverse yet, according to a report released Wednesday by the Pew Research Center.

One-third of all eligible voters will be nonwhite — a new high — driven by younger voters aging into the electorate for the first time and older voters aging out. Immigration is also a factor, with 10 percent of potential voters expected to have been born abroad, up from 6 percent in 2000.

For the first time, Hispanic voters are expected to be the largest nonwhite portion of the electorate at 13.3 percent, overtaking black voters who are projected to make up 12.5 percent of the voting pool. That's a big ongoing shift from 2000, when Hispanic voters accounted for just 7.4 percent of the electorate. Asian voters are projected to make up 4.7 percent of the vote in 2020, up from 2.5 percent in 2000.

Republicans should go after Asian-Americans because they’re viewed as a “model minority” and thus, they do not get similiar benefits as other minorities.

White Americans make up 72 percent of the U.S.

They are around 66%-72% of the electorate.

They are a lot of white people that have never voted before.

They don’t feel that neither party represents them.

The GOP needs to focus on Asians. Asians are very business-oriented.

Asians and Blacks don’t get along.

Asians are plenty in California. The GOP needs to appeal in California.

Just an aside, we who are supposedly “white” are actually a pleasant shade of light brown with pinkish overtones, with seasonal variations to darker brown in the summer. If we ever saw an actual “white person” it would be startling.

Given that a white person does not have to be white, I think I will self-identify as purple, that way I can claim to be diverse. I call on all purple people to rise up and take power.

Before Diversification:

We have to make special provisions for minorities. I mean, they’re MINORITIES..!

After Diversification:

We must learn to turn away from the needs of whites. After all, they’re NOT in charge anymore, GET WITH THE TIMES..!

They will turn on a DIME and the change will be TOTAL.

The GOP has so much to campaign on now its incredible. The hard shift to the left of the Democrat party is fodder for hundreds of campaign commercials.

Instead there is silence and internal warfare and animosity toward Trump.

They are beholden to corporate donors and have become tone deaf on a host of issues affecting everyday voters. Trump is leading the way and the establishment is still sitting on the sidelines.

NBC and the DemocRATS don’t want whites anymore. Maybe we should just go ahead and oblige them.

I would focus on Blue Dogs, I think there's 24 of them in House. They represent swing districts. Hold them accountable. If they do not support the wall, and other issues, well we can campaign on that in 2020 and defeat them in their districts.

Good news is that the Democrats haven't locked up their vote. Look in Florida, where Cubans have been reliable GOP voters for decades!

Am I the only one who is positive about the #walkaway movement? Blacks are Americans and are waking up to the fact that the uniparty is targeting them for destruction(abortion) and replacements (iliegals)

Who hates the Republican base more, the Democrats or the Republicans? It’s hard to say. Property rights, federalism, the rule of law, a representative republic, liberty ... those are all white people things. They don’t exist outside of Europe and places settled and civilized by European people. As those places become diverse, those concepts begin to fade. If that’s hard for you to read, ask yourself why.

There will be no explosion of conservatism among non-white people, no matter how many times you tell them about Robert KKK Byrd. Demographics are destiny, notwithstanding that conservative black guy that so many baby boomers knew in the service 5 decades ago. Non whites will vote Democrat by at least 75/25, maybe worse, depending on the candidate. But hey, at least we still have the Constitution.
