“(Blacks are 90%+ for dems, Hispanics 57%+ roughly for dems)”
Blacks were not for the dems this time... Had they been, they would have voted. You can’t blame them, their condition got much worse in the last six years. They are catching on.
Those blacks who voted still went %90+ for the dems as far as I can see from exit polls (not particularly useful for predicting the outcome of contests, but quite useful for demographic voting tendencies).
While the number of minorities voting for dems were not as numerous in the midterms as they were in 2012, the percentages of those who DID vote were reliably in the dem column according to the statistics I read Tuesday night. Take Texas for example. I read the exit polls yesterday and Black voters went for Davis %93, and Hispanic voters went for Davis %57. That is a bad trend for the future depending on just how many minority voters actually come out to vote on election day, and historically, Presidential elections draw many, MANY more voters to the polls than midterms, particularly minorities.
You make a good point. This is much like the way I didn't vote for Bush the Elder in '92. I couldn't vote for Clinton either, so I voted for Perot. Even though I (and many others) didn't vote for Clinton, Bush lost because of me.
