'The energy that propelled Obama to the presidency lingers in at least one important respect: An increasingly muscular minority political base is here to stay. And that’s just the beginning."

"By 2027, minorities will out-number whites nationally among those under age 30; ditto by 2033 for those under age 40. As the older population continues to stay much whiter than the millennial generation and its successors, current political divisions between older, whiter generations and younger, more diverse ones—something I call the cultural generation gap—will linger. In one example of this divide, a 2011 Pew Research Center survey found that seven in 10 millennial minorities favored a larger government with more services .
 
We see what happened to minority voting in the recent Demobacle. Without a clean articulate Negro on the ballot they all stayed home. Same will happen next presidential election. Minorities are not turning out to vote for wealthy privileged white women.
