Sadly I believe the Democrats could reverse these numbers overnight by floating a big scheme to forgive student loans.

LPR is lower because pop is aging,people are leaving workforce and living longer. There is no lack of available work and in fact there are more jobs available then people to fill them.

No, we have a surplus of labor. Look at the LPR over the last 40 years. There are over 90 million people of working age between 16-65 out of the workforce. And the number of those working over 65 has increased significantly as most people have not saved enough for their retirement.

When you import over 35 million legal immigrants since 1990 (over a million a year) plus issue work permits to guest workers to the tune of 2 million at any one time, you can't create jobs fast enough. Add to that the 12 to 20 million illegal aliens. If we truly had a shortage of labor, wages would be going up, not down or stagnating for over 30 years.

Party in power has always lost seats and loss of 2 seats signifies little except perhaps poor choice of candidates.

So far, the Reps have lost approximately a net 50 seats locally, state, and nationally. We will see what happens in the midterms. Dem turnout has been high indicating motivated voters. We will see what happens. A lot can happen between now and November.

You seem to have missed totally the fact that minorities are moving AWAY from the Dems and the fact millennials are trending in a similar way.

How does that translate into votes for the Reps? The Reps got slaughtered in the VA state legislative and gubernatorial elections. Are those minorities moving to support Trump or the GOP? Or will they just stay home?

“In nine of the ten (CO excepted) Rs have gained significantly in net numbers”

That’s because between the milquetoast Rs and their absolute corruption, people are simply sick and tired of them. In many ways, they are worse for the people than the liberal Democrats. Having worked within State and county governments within Colorado, I’ve seen Democrats openly hostile to Rs only to be promoted and never punished for their insubordinate acts.

Sad, but the Colorado Republican party is still openly hostile towards Trump. At government meetings, the Republicans still mock Trump.

The communists have it in the bag, you’ll just accept being replaced?

Who is going to change the public policy of bringing in 1.1 million legal permanent immigrants a year, 87% of whom are minorities as defined by the USG? This does not include the 300,000 anchor babies born annually to illegal aliens. They are US citizens at birth.

62% White is fine, the current demographic of the nation is fine.

Fine? It was 89% in 1970. How do you intend to change the demographics of the country to stop the decline of non-Hispanic whites as a percent of the population? By 2019, next year, half of the children 18 and under will be minorities. They are the future of the country. The working-age population is projected to become majority-minority between 2036 and 2042.

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.

The black population is expected to increase from 41.2 million to 61.8 million over the same period. Its share of the total population would rise slightly, from 13.1 percent in 2012 to 14.7 percent in 2060.

The Asian population is projected to more than double, from 15.9 million in 2012 to 34.4 million in 2060, with its share of nation's total population climbing from 5.1 percent to 8.2 percent in the same period.

Among the remaining race groups, American Indians and Alaska Natives would increase by more than half from now to 2060, from 3.9 million to 6.3 million, with their share of the total population edging up from 1.2 percent to 1.5 percent. The Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander population is expected to nearly double, from 706,000 to 1.4 million. The number of people who identify themselves as being of two or more races is projected to more than triple, from 7.5 million to 26.7 million over the same period.

The U.S. is projected to become a majority-minority nation for the first time in 2043. While the non-Hispanic white population will remain the largest single group, no group will make up a majority.

All in all, minorities, now 37 percent of the U.S. population, are projected to comprise 57 percent of the population in 2060. (Minorities consist of all but the single-race, non-Hispanic white population.) The total minority population would more than double, from 116.2 million to 241.3 million over the period.

Projections show the older population would continue to be predominately non-Hispanic white, while younger ages are increasingly minority. Of those age 65 and older in 2060, 56.0 percent are expected to be non-Hispanic white, 21.2 percent Hispanic and 12.5 percent non-Hispanic black. In contrast, while 52.7 percent of those younger than 18 were non-Hispanic white in 2012, that number would drop to 32.9 percent by 2060. Hispanics are projected to make up 38.0 percent of this group in 2060, up from 23.9 percent in 2012.

The nation’s total population would cross the 400 million mark in 2051, reaching 420.3 million in 2060. The proportion of the population younger than 18 is expected to change little over the 2012-2060 period, decreasing from 23.5 percent to 21.2 percent.

In 2056, for the first time, the older population, age 65 and over, is projected to outnumber the young, age under 18.

The working-age population (18 to 64) is expected to increase by 42 million between 2012 and 2060, from 197 million to 239 million, while its share of the total population declines from 62.7 percent to 56.9 percent.

Time to disabuse the communists of the notion that their scheme will be allowed to continue

Do you have the votes to stop it? Unless Congress changes the immigration laws, the flood will continue. We have just had the three of the four highest decades of legal immigration in our history.

"Before Obama, weren't Hispanics counted as white?"

Only if they committed crimes.

Bump to Rush Limbaugh for mentioning this article on his radio program a few minutes ago.

We will see what happens in the midterms. Dem turnout has been high....

No it has not been high in midterms, not ever and midterm turnout is quite different from special election turnout. The latest Congressional Generic Polling shows Dems with barely a 3 point lead and that is not nearly enough to takeover the House based on passed polling of this type besides we know there is a reluctance for Rep voters to even talk to pollsters which led to the awful polling for the 2016 election.

Your stats are not in synch with other stats claiming a shortage of workers nationwide and rising wages which are a sure sign of number of jobs outstripping available applicants.

Almost all of those 50 seats lost are at the local level with I believe only 2 being at the Fed level. Obama list 1080 seats over his 8 yrs for an avg of 125 seats annually. Trump has lost about 50 in 18 months.

Stats and charts are fine but are easily manipulated. They didn’t do much good in 2016. It’s a different time and my take is the past is not prelude to the future, at least not with this president.

We shall see.

Dem turnout has been high in the various special elections starting with KS. GA, AL, and other races have witnessed high turnout. I expect the November midterms to experience high turnout on both sides.

Your stats are not in synch with other stats claiming a shortage of workers nationwide and rising wages which are a sure sign of number of jobs outstripping available applicants.

My stats are accurate based on USG data. There has been a slight rise in wages recently, the first time since 1969 in adjusted for inflation dollars. Those with just a HS degree or less have actually experienced a decline in wages.

Why Wages Aren’t Growing in America

Since the late 1970s, large wage gains have accrued to workers at the top of the distribution, and wages have been declining or stagnant for the bottom half of the income distribution.

If you don't think that the importation of 35 million legal permanent immigrants since 1990, the equivalent of the current population of Canada, has not affected the labor market, you must be smoking something. Most of these immigrants are unskilled. They compete with American workers who only have a HS degree or less.

Almost all of those 50 seats lost are at the local level with I believe only 2 being at the Fed level. Obama list 1080 seats over his 8 yrs for an avg of 125 seats annually. Trump has lost about 50 in 18 months.

Average per year mean nothing. The major changes take place during the midterms and presidential elections. It remains to be seen what will happen. There are plenty of variables, including the Mueller investigation. The economy, foreign policy, trade, etc. will play a role. They could help or hurt the GOP. And will Trump hurt or help the various candidates. Some in the Northeast are distancing themselves from Trump. Obama will be on the campaign trail as well. The MSM will go into overdrive attacking Trump. And with 44 GOP congressmen retiring, how will the GOP candidates fare in terms of name recognition, funding, etc.

Stats and charts are fine but are easily manipulated. They didn’t do much good in 2016. It’s a different time and my take is the past is not prelude to the future, at least not with this president.

There will certainly be a different vibe with Trump who is really not a conventional Republican. He is an outsider trying to clean out the swamp, which includes Reps. Will Trump have coattails, which Obama did not?

I will leave it at this.

Using the last to predict the future won’t work any better today then it did in the 2016 election.

It is a different time and a different type of president. It doesn’t mean the Rep. will win, lose or draw in the midterms. What it means is you can throw the book away

I’m done.

Be well

The first step in solving the problem is identifying it.

A vote for democrats is a vote for a white minority.

Keep the message simple, ho hate, no white supremacy.

Just keep the demographic frozen right where it is.

Make them defend their policy of white decimation.

You can’t “freeze” the demography of this country. Next year, 2019, half of the children 18 and under will be minorities. Each cohort that turns 18 from that point on will be more minority than the previous one. It’s baked into the cake.

And every year we bring in 1.1 million legal permanent immigrants, 87% of whom are minorities. We have been doing this for decades. And this does not include the 300,000 anchor babies born to illegal aliens every year who are US citizens at birth.

The Dems don’t have to defend these policies. They are the law of the land.

"Rs are up net 62k in Fl, 80k "

That is good news, with the the Puerto Rican influx it will be a state to watch in the years to come.

A study showed that those PRs came, then went back home. Very few of them actually stayed in FL.
