IMNVHO, That's our group-think. If Ferguson explodes, which I am sure is the Democrat "Plan," they will own the big states forever.
Even if the Republicans (whatever TF they are) were to take a substantial majority of white voters, we have to remember that white voters are on track to become "minority voters." "Republicans:" that's who an explosion in Ferguson could blow away.
Two reasons why the Democrats suffer due to the riots:
1) It feeds the fears of the women voters about crime. It reminds people that they can’t depend on the police when the shizzle goes down. People become more tolerant of gun ownership.
2) It reminds minorities that nothing has changed under Obama. They are still getting shot down by the police from behind while kneeling with their hands raised...... in the narrative.
