The Moribund GOP.....

[The Rabbi]

Reject away, right wingers, since this study was from the left-leaning CAP....nonetheless, only a very foolish right winger should reject this outright,

A study, from the left-leaning Center for American Progress, projects the growth in eligible voters in 12 states by 2014 and 2016. The projections — which broke down the eligible voter growth by race — show that fast-paced minority growth coupled with slow or negative growth among non-Hispanic whites has a substantial impact on the eligible voter makeup of the 12 states that the center examined.

According to the center’s projections, 600,000 Hispanics will be newly eligible to vote in Florida in 2016. Over the same period, fewer than 125,000 new white voters will be eligible in Florida.
In Arizona, more than 175,000 Hispanics will enter the voter pool as roughly 10,000 white voters leave it.
In Texas, 185,000 new white eligible voters will be overwhelmed by the roughly 900,000 Hispanics expected to enter the electorate.

Hispanic voters went for the GOP about 50%. Put a Hispanic like Cruz or Rubio on the ballot and it's in the bag. Even if they dont Hispanics vote GOP about 50% in Texas
Democrat hopes of a "New Negro" in the Hispanic population will be very disappoitned.

Here are a couple of intresting facts about Texas and the Hispanic vote that came from last Novembers midterms Dan Patrick who ran for and won the Lt Governors race and who is a big Tea Party favorite got 46% of the Hispanic vote to his Democratic rivals 52% and among Hispanic men he won 53% to 46%. It seems that the Latino community might be more receptive of the Republican party and their message than some think at least in Texas anyway. By the way Greg Abbott who won the Governors race and is not as hard right as Patrick got 44% of the Hispanic vote.

NEW POLL How Texas Latino and New Citizen Voters Influenced the 2012 Elections - Immigration Reform America s Voice Immigration Reform America s Voice

In Texas, the new polling shows Latino voters supported Obama over Romney by a dramatic 70% to 29%, for a net contribution of 10.6 percentage points to Obama (based on Latino Decisions’ estimate that Latinos comprised 26.6% of the Texas electorate). In the Senate race, where high profile Latino Republican, Ted Cruz, was running, Latinos still supported Democrat Paul Sadler over Cruz by a margin of 65% to 35%, showing once again that Republicans cannot win over Latinos merely by running Latino candidates. The issues do matter.

The contortions of the democrat party trying to rescue themselves is adorable.

 

[nat4900]

Why is it do damn hard for right wingers to be able to differentiate between a MID-TERM and a PRESIDENTIAL election cycle...??????

(never mind, I think I know the answer.)

Hispanics of All Ages Tilt Democratic

PRINCETON, NJ -- Hispanics of all ages in the U.S. today are more than twice as likely to identify with or lean to the Democratic Party rather than the Republican Party.

 

[whitehall]

It was barely six months ago when the GOP swept the biggest landslide in modern political history. Why do progs think they need to educate republicans about electoral votes? Nobody in the republican party has a problem with Hispanic citizens but the argument is typical of typical Alinsky strategy these days in the democrat party. If you can't beat them try to fool them.

 

[tinydancer]

What part of "the Republicans kicked the shit out of the Democrats 2014 election" did you miss?

Find a grown up to explain to you that we are talking about PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS.....not midterms like2014.

I can understand that you're obviously dense...but a grownup can maybe help.

My aren't you smarmy today?

I responded to this idiocy in your OP.

".the Republican party will slowly perish into irrelevance"

 

[Katzndogz]

Liberals are counting on hispanics to replace blacks. Black people are killing and aborting themselves into irrelevance. Libs need to adopt a new demographic.

Just to refresh our collective memory, the two states with the most electoral votes are California (55) and Texas (39).....Of these two, we all know that California is as blue as the mood of right wingers regarding their aspirations to regain the WH.....

But to add to the GOPers' misery, is the real fact that Texas' Hispanic/Latino population is now at about 44%..............and based on demographic data, by 2020 the state of Texas' white population will be in the minority , while Hispanics will be in the majority by 2036.

Unless the GOP leadership stops its xenophobic attitudes toward Hispanics/Latinos and begins to truly embrace the causes and needs of this wave of ethnic migrants (and not just make lame attempts to have the likes of a Cruz or Rubio trying to come off as caring for such migrants).....the Republican party will slowly perish into irrelevance.

Maybe you can give Cruz and Rubio Hispanic lessons since you're the expert. How do you get your head through doorways?

Could Latino Voters Turn Deep-Red Texas Democratic by 2020 - The Atlantic

Jacob Monty looks at the demographics of his state of Texas and does not like what he's seeing. The Lone Star state ......could be majority Latino by 2030, and those Latinos are voting overwhelmingly Democrat.

"The future of the Republican Party lies in keeping Texas as a Republican state. And if we allow our numbers to slip in Texas, we run the risk of losing the firewall that keeps the Republican Party as a viable option," he said.

Monty, is a Latino of Mexican descent, the Houston attorney sits on the board of directors of a new organization called Hispanic Republicans of Texas.

Actually, all I try to do on here is to hold up a "mirror" for you right wingers to see yourselves through the spectrum of reality.......

(BTW, Cubans don't like to identify themselves as "Hispanics".....Of course, Rubio, would like to have it both ways.)

Riiiight we should take the advice of some liberal after dishing out an historic bitch slapping to the left at the local, state, and national level the last 4 years. LMAO

Yet ANOTHER right wing idiot who can't differentiate between mid-terms and presidential cycles.....But, its perfectly OK, the dumber you stay, the easier it is to keep the WH in democrats' hands. (and maybe the senate will do a bit of a switch also......how many seats will the GOP have to defend in the senate in 2016?)

That doesn't change the point of the previous poster I was quoting who happens to be one of your fellow left wingers or I was making. The results of past midterms don't mean future Republican wins nor do the results of past general elections mean Democrat wins history has proven this time and time again if you choose to think you can predict future elections based on the results of past ones knock yourself out.

That was 2012, dumbshit. We see how Hispanics voted in the last election. Texas purple? HAHA! Yeah, let's ask Gov. Wendy Davis about that one.

More denial from the left. In 2012 even with Obama on the ballot and lying his ass off the left was barely able to scrape back 6 of the 56 seats they lost in 2010. Then in 2014 after people realized Obama lied to them the idiot libs got dealt another epic beating. Facts vs the fantasy you made up in your head OH SNAP!!
