Maybe it's just to throw some fear into the "Hillary for President" camp. If the Dems lose their African-American base, they will turn into pumpkins and we will have a liberal Republican party faction versus a Libertarian Republican party faction and the Democrats will go the way of the Whigs.
that would be nice but I have not seen any demographic voting pattern change despite all the hype in November.
A) Blacks still voted about 90% Dem
B) Jews did not change much...a hair maybe..especially younger
C) 18-25 voted like the idiots they are (or I was ..lol)
D)Hispanics not counting Cubans voted about like in 00 contrary to the hype first expounded later to be refuted though still used here.
I'm not optimistic. The Dems are more solid than us precisely because of their demographics and the fact those demographics are growing faster than ours.
Without middle aged Southern and Rocky Mountain predominately white Christian males and our wives (with children) it would be over. It's that simple. The Blue states are sewn up for except maybe Pennsylvania or NH.
I think we have nothing to gain by running a centrist or social liberal. The exit polls said as much on the values question.
We run as who we are, not as Scoop Jackson Dems.
