I hope so -and with Hispanic voters because that is what makes states go blue or liberal, white liberals might be the talking head, but 2/3 of dems voters are “people of color”-
specifically what supports the democratic party is the increasing demographic or ethnic block voting for Dems- that is the real story, and challenge for GOP. Without the block voting of African American’s (93% + for Dems+ and especially Hispanic Americans-approaching 70%,) CA would still be the state that elected Reagan governor and Presidentand nationally the Dems would have a little over 100 seats and about 10-12 Senate seats. At Least Hispanics don’t vote 90% dems
Just look at the states won by Trump,he won 32 states but only 4 have a population of Hispanic voters over 13%. Clinton by contrast won 28 states and only 5 had a Hispanic population of under 13%.
In CA, the Hispanic Population is now about 40% (and yes fueled by illegal immigrants and higher birth rate )and African American 12%.
This demographic shift and resulting voting trend is what is going on in early stages in Nevada, Az, Fl and now Texas. Colorado is now over 20% Hispanic and now a dem state, Nevada over 29% and voting solidly blue. I believe this is why the dems are for illegal immigration-it gets them votes and power.
We need to address, I think Trump can and does, otherwise its like trying to win a basketball game where the other team gets to start with a 20 point lead so we cannot pretend we can win without Hispanics or blacks fall for the “its just white liberals” myth or the entire country will be Ca
Note: The U.S. Hispanic population surged another 1.2 million last year and now is a record 59.9 million, according to newly released U.S. Census Bureau population estimates. The percentage of Hispanics as part of the overall U.S. population also jumped to 18%.
Regarding presidential elections, voter turnout for the U.S. population has
stayed relatively stable since 1980 (with the exception of a slightly higher
turnout in 1992 and a dip in 1996 and 2000). While whites traditionally have
the highest voter turnout relative to other racial groups, Blacks have
higher voter turnout than Hispanics and Asians. In fact, Black voter turnout
was within 1 percentage point of whites in 2008 (65.2% compared to 66.1%)
and was actually higher than whites in 2012 (66.6% compared to 64.1%). In
2016, voter turnout for Blacks dipped to 59.6%. While that number was
lower than whites (65.3%), it was still higher than Asians (49.3%) and
Hispanics (47.6%).
