Hillary can see the trend in future voting patterns, and in our changing demographics in this country. It has been 18 years since a republican has won more votes than a democrat, and hillary knows it.
2000 election: Gore 51,003,238 votes, Bush 50,459,624 votes
1996 election: clinton 47,402,357 votes, Dole 39,198,755
1992 election: clinton 44,909,806 votes, bush 39,104,550
It has been 18 years since any republican has received more votes than a democrat. It has been 18 years since more americans wanted a republican as president.
It was a fluke that Bush is president, since winning the electoral vote while losing the popular vote is quite rare. Minority presidents are an oddity, not the norm.
Only an idiot would think that republicans can keep winning the electoral vote while never again winning the popular vote.
Blacks, new asian immigrants, and latins are the population groups increasing at the fastest rate in america, and they all vote mostly democrat. Over 90% of blacks continue to vote democrat, with no signs of it changing.
Each year that goes by, sees the blacks, asian immigrants, and latins increasing their percentage of our population. In a decade or two, they will soon compose the majority of our nations population and those groups will decide every future election.
Bush's desire to give citizenship to the ten million illegal latins in this country will increase the legal democrat votes for hillary in the next election by additional millions in one pen stroke.
The republicans have not been able to win the majority of blacks, latins, or asians, and have no hopes to get them to vote repulican instead of for hillary.
