Reply to "A realignment in American politics underway"

In addition your analysis of realignment of American politics is naïve.

Ironically the worst thing that can happen to the Dems is if they stomp the GOP next week.

Why a naïve and simple person like you will ask?

Because the same deep analysis that the Dems did prior to 1992, that they move to the center, allowing Bill to be a 2 term president, and allowing Gore to win, but for the Supreme Court coup, will happen within the GOP.

The voices that screamed that the GOP had been hijacked by the lunatic right, and that the GOP should move to the center, will become shriller if Trump leads them down to a sound thrashing.  You will hear more voices like Todd Whitman, Steele and other GOP moderates.  Even the Bush family have become more contrite.

Chris Christie won 51% of the Hispanic vote and 21% of the black vote in his 2013 elections. This shows that the Dems don't have as much of a lock on minority votes as some will think. Even Bush won 44% of the Hispanic vote in 2004.

The only reason why the Dems win is because they get 80% of the minority vote.  It isn't that minorities think highly of them.  Its that they fear the GOP. 

The Dems have as much work to do as do the GOP. They cannot think that they will always win 80% of the minority vote, as the GOP will eventually learn that ageing rednecks cannot win them elections.

If the GOP improve their performance among middle class blacks, and among US born Hispanics and Asians, the Dems will have to be better than the 38% of the white vote that they are currently getting!
