Right, that's why Trump is got 31% of Hispanics and 25% of blacks in a recent general election matchup vs. Hillary. How many did Romney get? McCain?
It is worth trying to win over minorities and I applaud Trump's efforts, but the reality is in a general election he would get the same anemic %'s that Romney got. Sorry, but minorities are squarely in the Democrat camp as long as the freebies keep flowing.
For now, increasing our share of the white vote by 3-4% is probably a better short term electoral strategy.
“The message being sent to voters [by Trump] is this: The Republican Party is led by people who are profoundly uncomfortable with the changing (and inevitable) demographic nature of our nation.”
No the problem is that the Republican Party is led by people who are totally fine with turning (more) of America into a combination of Mexico and Nigeria.
