The trend is not good, if traditional voting patterns remain the same. Of course, minority voting strength hasn't been proportionate to population, either.
It's not going to pose a problem this election, but there's little doubt that the GOP must make inroads into the minority voter population in order to survive.

What are your thoughts on where such inroads may be made. I think the consensus seems to be in the hispanic community. While blacks can be very socially conservative, their community in general seems to be stuck in the politics of victimhood worshipping at the feet of the DNC god [why else would any race vote 92% for one party?]. In contrast, the hispanic community is more opportunistic in taking benefit of the educational and employment avenues available for all Americans. While I have issues with hispanic's ability to assimilate into our common culture, there community appears to be more receptive to the GOP message of self-reliance.
