    I think what you should really be concerned with is, without the work ethics of the average white middle class how will the lazy leftist entitlement class survive :) If it's one consolation it will be well worth the admission to see who the leftist designate as the mules that pull their lazy ass's around for the next 150 years :)

    I'm sure "white hispanics" who are catholics aren't included either. Democrats ignore the Catholics within their own party, and fail to appreciate how their demonization of Christianity repulses Catholics as well. 2018 will be a big disappointment for him.

    Well yes; but you are forgetting the Leftist Weasel Clause, the one that is in very fine print and which says, "It's NEVER wrong when a leftist does it!" For the typical leftist, those are words to live by.

    Funny but you whipped out a gratuitous Race Card there just as if you were an ideological leftist; and in fact almost all of your postings end up supporting radical leftist politics and ideology on these forums. So it's a good thing that you self-identified as a Republican and fiscal conservative lest we believe instead the nature of your typical postings.

    At least the OP is an honest lefty who implicitly admits why they don't want a wall built, and why DACA is so important to them, and why they're so adamant that voter IDs are unconstitutional (they have never cared about the constitution). It's the democratic way of rigging the polls.

    Not like republicans haven't known about this tactic for years. But at least the left is starting to come clean.

    The OP is correct. This time positively for sure, a republican will not be elected to any public office. It's Trump's fault.

    You are ruling out that the Mexicans and others from Central America are generally Catholics? Why don't you see Catholics as Christians?

    Blacks do often shun being Christians. A lot of them are attracted to being Muslims. But other blacks are indeed christians.

    I wrote that you "implicitly" admit to the tactic. Implicitly and explicitly have different meanings.

    Trumps hands are tied. So in respect was Reagan's hands tied.

    I have to admit, those who voted for republicans, to blow steam, to have bright red eyes of the Democrats, stuns me. I hoped we got away from that Republican hating during Bush 43..

    Why am i satisfied with Trump. He is against Obama. Who else did the public trust to be against Obama?

    We have republicans supporting Obama lousy deals right now.

    I'm a populist nationalist - I hate both parties and love Trump.

    Who the hell cares what demographics matter - you people and your labels - blacks, Jews, Whites, Methidists, Transbutters, hornysexuals, and same old same old.

    If you ever grow up you'll figure out that we're all Americans - most of us have the same basic wants and needs regardless of race or creed or any of that other divisive label crap.

    What a nincompoop!

    That, my friend, is a direct result of the welfare state, as well as a cute skewing of the data by referring to asians when that actually counts people from the middle east and south pacific as "asian".

    See, somebody has to pay for all those welfare babies they pump out so they can live in welfare apartments and eat welfare food, and guess who that is.

    No, that is the fate of white liberals, particularly males, as they become politically irrelevant and in declining numbers.

    In 2016 57% of whites voted for Trump, 37% for Clinton, 8% of Blacks voted for Trump, 89% for Clinton and 28% of Hispanics for Trump, 66% for Clinton.

    http://www.cnn.com/election/results/exit-polls

    In 2012 59% of whites voted for Romney, 39% for Obama, 6% of blacks for Romney, 93% for Obama and 27% of Hispanics for Romney, 71% for Trump.

    What's interesting about those two elections is Trump garnered more Hispanic and Black voters than Romney while receiving less white support. Clinton did worst than Obama among all three races. Candidates still matter and a different Democratic candidates probably would have trounced Trump. Having said that, here is what you're referring to:

    WHITE VOTE IN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS

    2016: 71% of electorate, Trump 57, Clinton 37

    2012: 72% of electorate, Romney 59, Obama 39

    2008: 74% of electorate, McCain 55, Obama 43

    2004: 77% of electorate, Bush 58, Kerry 41

    2000: 81% of electorate, Bush 55, Gore 42

    1996: 83% of electorate, Dole 46, Clinton 44 (Perot 9)

    1992: 87% of electorate, Bush 41, Clinton 39 (Perot 21)

    1988: 85% of electorate, Bush 60, Dukakis 40

    1984: 86% of electorate, Reagan 66, Mondale 34

    1980: 88% of electorate, Reagan 56, Carter 36 (Anderson 8)

    1976: 89% of electorate, Ford 52, Carter 48


    Blacks

    2016: Clinton 89, Trump 8

    2012: Obama 93, Romney 6

    2008: Obama 95, McCain 4

    2004: Kerry 88, Bush 11

    2000: Gore 90, Bush 8

    1996: Clinton 84, Dole 12

    1992: Clinton 82, Bush 11

    1988: Dukakis 88, Bush 10

    1984: Mondale 89m Reagan 9

    1980: Carter 86 Reagan 12

    1976: Carter 85, Ford 15


    Hispanics

    2016: Clinton 66, Trump 28

    2012: Obama 71, Romney 27

    2008: Obama 67, McCain 31

    2004: Kerry 58, Bush 40

    2000: Gore 62, Bush 35

    1996: Clinton 72, Dole 21

    1992: Clinton 61, Bush 21

    1988: Dukakis 69, Bush 30

    1984: Mondale 61, Reagan 37

    1980: Carter 56, Reagan 35

    Candidates matter for whites, Carter lost them by four points, Bill Clinton by only 2 and he did that twice. But whites tend to vote Republican ranging from a low of 41% to a high of 66%. But haven't reached the 60% mark since 1988. Candidates matter a bit less among Hispanics, ranging from 21-40% for the Republican candidate. Blacks, candidates really don't matter, they are wedded to the Democratic Party like conjoined Twins. They ranged from 4-15% and that 15% was back in 1976.

    Another interesting stat is back in 1976 according to Pew Research, 46% of the electorate identified themselves as Democrats, 22% as Republicans and 29% as Independents. Today according to Gallup as of 9-10-2017, 30% of the electorate identify or affiliate themselves with the democratic Party, 29% with the Republican Party and 40% independents.

    Poll also show a majority of Americans view both major parties unfavorable. While the Democrats are viewed a bit less unfavorable.

    Trump is far from being a conservative. In fact real conservatives have become the new RINO's for Trumpers. Avid Trump supporters have called him a populist, a nationalist, even a nativist, everything but a conservative.

    http://thefederalist.com/2016/08/14/conservatives-are-the-new-rinos/

    The eight time party switcher life long held political views are quite liberal. Of course he changed a few to run as a Republican. The only faction of the GOP he lost in the primaries were conservatives.

    Finally something I can agree with. Unfortunately, the current president spent a good amount of energy trying to convince the public that his predecessor was NOT an American. It's bad enough when we accuse people of not being American because they want more restrictions on guns or abortions; Trump accused Obama of being a foreigner because he wanted to promote divisiveness. He continues to do that in other ways. It's disgusting.

    A return to traditional values. Smaller government, lower taxes, less regulation, more freedom, less Marxism, free markets instead of central planning of the economy, religious freedom. You know -CONSERVATIVE values.

    Given that demographic shift began in 1999 that means that those kids are now turning 18 and can vote and that more and more of them will reach voting age every year from now onwards.
