They vote Dem more than two to one. If we don't reduce legal immigration substantially in the very near future, the Dems will be the permanent majority party. Demography is destiny.

Only if you automatically concede them to the Democrats and make no effort to win them over to our side. With Trump's victory, we saw the results of converting just a few million white blue-collar Democrats to the Republican fold across the Rust Belt and elsewhere.

This is just tip of the iceberg and President Trump has huge potential to convert other demographic groups like inner-city blacks, who up to now, were never courted by the Republican Party.

So yes, if we want to continue to write off everybody except white Anglo-Saxons, we are doomed demographically. But if we expand our message to all Americans who are sick and tired of the welfare state and the lack of opportunity in this country, it will be the liberal Democrats and not our side that reaps the whirlwind of demographic destiny.

In 1970 non-Hispanic whites made up 89% of the population. Today they are 63%. By 2019 half of the children 18 and under will be minorities as defined by the USG. Each cohort that turns 18 annually is more minority and more Democrat. Non-Hispanic whites are declining in numbers. The demographics of the US in 2050 will be the same as CA today.

The non-Hispanic white population is projected to peak in 2024, at 199.6 million, up from 197.8 million in 2012. Unlike other race or ethnic groups, however, its population is projected to slowly decrease, falling by nearly 20.6 million from 2024 to 2060.

Meanwhile, the Hispanic population would more than double, from 53.3 million in 2012 to 128.8 million in 2060. Consequently, by the end of the period, nearly one in three U.S. residents would be Hispanic, up from about one in six today.

A possibility, but who is saying what Trump is saying in the GOP about such things as immigration and trade? Getting 8% of the black vote was an improvement, but not the stuff of national victories. The Dems have won the popular vote in 6 out of the last 7 elections. Hillary is currently leading by 2 million votes. She has the third highest total in US history behind Obama's top two.

The welfare state is still very much alive and well among minorities and immigrants. Unless we can grow the economy, add more good paying jobs, etc. things are not going to change. We have the lowest labor participation rates in nearly 50 years. We continue to bring in 1.1 million legal permanent immigrants a year along with 640,000 guest workers annually. They are taking American jobs and depressing wages. The poverty rolls are growing.

GMTA.

In fact, I think one of the major fears the Democrats have with Trump in office is that his policies will benefit minorities, legal immigrants, the inner cities and they will then be on board.

The democrats are a coalition of :
1. The naive who believe that Democrats help the poor.
2. The gimmedats who believe that Democrats hand out free stuff to them.
3. The rich, corrupt, takers who profit from the corruption and cronyism.

Group #1 is very large and would be easy to sway if they can be shown how wrong they are about the Democrats.

Group#2 will grow if they are fed and shrink if they are starved.

Group#3 will never go away. They profit handsomely from the corruption and will do everything they can to convince Groups 1 and 2 to vote for Democrats.
