The next Republican President hasn't been born yet
How can that be possible?
Right now, Republicans have an extremely low chance of getting 270 electoral votes when Dems start with 242 and Repubs start at 179. Republicans have to pitch a perfect game and I don't think they have it in them
But why would they not be able to elect a President for the next 40-50 years?
Because demographics are leaving them behind. Rather than moving to take back swing states, they will be fighting to retain Red States, Surging Hispanic populations and Republicans abandoning the Hispanic vote will cost them Florida within the next decade. Georgia and North Carolina with large black populations could go blue also within the next decade
Texas and Arizona will take longer. Texas will be over 50% Hispanic within ten years but will probably take 20-25 years to go blue ....same with Arizona
When that happens, Dems will not start with 242 electoral votes, they will start with 325-350 and the race will be over before it begins
All true, except that republicans did not "abandon" the HIspanic vote.
We just can't compete for Third World votes against the party of Third World policies.
We have tried and will continue to try, but as already demonstrated, actions and policies don't matter.
George W Bush got 40% of the Hispanic vote
McCain and Romney got less than 30%
It is the tilt of the Republican Party and anti-immigrant/anti- hispanic rhetoric that is driving them away
Perhaps. GW was pretty pro-immigrant and wanted amnesty.
Then again so was McCain.
On the other hand, if we as Americans are going to craft policy to serve the interests of Americans, we HAVE TO reduce immigration and especially Third World immigration.
If the HIspanic vote and the Balance of Power in our society has become such that wanting to craft policy to serve the interests of Americans, means that you cannot win elections,
Then we, as a nation are screwed.
And I agree, that is where we are at.
Good for the Democratic Party, bad for everyone else.
We got to this point, btw, because we were never able to have a serious and honest discussion on what the immigration policy meant for the interests of Americans.
Thanks to the constant use of the Race Card by the Left.
