In case people are wondering why California has moved so far to the left. Changing demographics.

Correct. If only white people were voting, the Democratic party would lose decisively even in California.

Unfortunately, demographics are moving rapidly against us. More and more states will look increasingly like California demographics-wise. Unless we can figure out a way to win a higher share of minority (Hispanic) voters, in another generation (or less) we will be hard pressed to win even Texas.

Texas and California have the exact same percentage of Hispanics (both 31%), what saves Texas is fewer Catholics, and more Evangelicals.

OR, we could deport the illegals, have a moratorium on legal immigration, and eliminate citizenship for anchor babies. All those Hispanics didn't fall from the sky. We let them in.
