It was really Sessions' plan. See post #102. Agree, but the difficult part will be holding on to those slim leads in most of those formerly blue states and building upon what has happened.

Trump's plan to move black and Hispanic voters at least partially into the GOP camp appears more ambitious. However, he did better than Romney did with both groups four years ago.

Almost no inroads with black and Hispanic voters if you believe the exit polls. The big issue was turnout and Hillary failed to turn out Obama-like numbers with these groups. Trump actually received 2% less in terms of white voters. 59% for Romney versus 57% for Trump.

I think 40% of the Hispanic vote is achievable, but the black vote may not reach that high, especially if a black man receives the Democrat nomination.

Those are losing numbers for the GOP if the rapidly changing demographics continue.

Worth mentioning.

The exit polls were wrong. Period. Ask Luntz.

All these internals the media relies on to make their explanations are from the exit polls — clearly wrong.

We have zero data about anything.

Strict enforcement of immigration laws, combined with deportation of some illegals, voluntary or not, and curbing even relatively low risk immigration from India and East Asia are important measures that would change the demographics. Disincentives to additional children to welfare mothers would be another measure that would help. The Justice Department must investigate corrupt voting practices in major cities from New York to Los Angeles, and indict officials who have manipulated the vote count. Congress must require standards for Federal elections that establish mandatory voter IDs, the use of paper ballots, and independent third party accounting of the results.
