How can any party survive with it's base kicking the bucket? And what kind of future visions can that party put forward?



This phenomenon probably goes a long way towards describing the crackup of the Republican Party, and so it has major political ramifications. For one thing, areas with the highest die-off of whites correlate with areas where Donald Trump has done well in the primaries.

I agree. I always thought a crackup started with the new breed of Tea Partiers. Trump supporters are a major new dimension to that.
