Go back even a bit further and trace the decline of Pittsburgh -- which is 95% black/white, less than 3% Asian, and less than 1.5% Hispanic.
It wasn't the recent immigrants who ruined these cities. It was the Americans who lived there before the immigrants arrived. In many cases, the immigrants are the only ones who even want to live in those places.
Proportionately, Texas has a comparable or even higher (as recently as 2016) population of Hispanics than California. Texas is booming, while California is in decline. The difference between these two states is that California has been run by stupid white Americans for decades -- while Texas is just getting started.
And you’re still conventiently ignoring the demographic shifts involved.
The data is a little old now because it's based on the 2010 U.S. Census, but the correlation here between urbanizaton and politics is very strong:
States with the HIGHEST % of urban populations:
1. California
2. New Jersey
3. Nevada
4. Massachusetts
5. Hawaii
6. Florida
7. Rhode Island
8. Utah
9. Arizona
10. Illinois
---------------------
States with the LOWEST % of urban population:
41. North Dakota
42. Alabama
43. Kentucky
44. South Dakota
45. Arkansas
46. Montana
47. Mississippi
48. West Virginia
49. Vermont
50. Maine
I’m not ignoring them. I’m suggesting they are less important than other factors here.
yeah because letting the deranged Leftist and their media clowns shoot at you unchalleges worked so well for GW Bush
When is the GOPE going to learn YOU MUST STOP WHINGING AT YOUR OWN SIDE AND START FIGHTING
The Left never stops, never shoots their own in the back. They are relentless while at least 1/3 on our side does NOTHING but shoot it own in the back.
You people are the best propaganda bots the DNC has on the Net.
Read what Zito said
They Left when out and hired a bunch of ex military/ex law enforcement types who ran as GOP Lite candidates
To win the GOP is going to have to find a way to tie these people radical Leftist voting record over the next 2 years firmly around their necks in 2020
Let see how well all these “New kind of Democrats” do after lying their way into office only to go to DC and vote as Nancy Pelose’s rubber stamp for two years.
The GOPE need to learn to fight in the trenches, not just write checks to advertisers expecting tv ads to carry them to victory
“We need to be ready. We need lawyers prepositioned and poised to fight wherever we expect the corruption to happen.”
This is huge. I believe that in every “iffy” precinct and state, a week before the election the Rats had attorneys and activist already holed up in hotel rooms prepared to strike on Election Day.
We are retarded in the true sense of the word. When something begins to seem shady, or if Marco Rubio Tweets some truths, then we begin to complain. (Like that’s going to accomplish anything!) We bop around like chickens with their heads cut off with no plan or purpose while the Rats already are engaged, organized, and striking.
Respectfully, I am not saying stop fighting or counter punching. But, what I am saying and I think a big portion of the electorate is also saying, is be smart and professional about it.
Something we should’ve done this summer, and should do starting now is go undercover.
There are all kinds of #BLexit and #WalkAway people now. Recruit 100+ of them. Scrub their recent social media showing their “conversions” so all that’s left of their online history is liberal. Send them to the various counties and precincts like Broward, armed with audio and video recorders. They could be gathering evidence that would be impossible to refute.

Arthur Brooks makes a powerful point using research on brains to support what I said. Well worth listening to.

Try this one. Arthur Brooks on the necessity to tell stories as a sales mechanism.
I don’t know if he was or not. But people on FR treated him like one.
“Aha~ Now we have a black male running against a white female.”
Big deal.
No, money wasn’t James’s main problem. I told everyone when he started, his main problem was name recognition and he spent more than a month just getting up to about 70%. That is a major hurdle, and while it “can” be solved by money, it’s really a waste. Name recognition is something any candidate needs to start with. James was thrown in a cycle too soon.
If they choose former then we can proceed forward and develop new tactics. The later is status quo death march into oblivion and new tactics will not matter.
What a pile of crap. Typical Lucy with the football GOP-e excrement.
Thanks, Liz. I converted to MP3 and will listen on my commute tomorrow. Looking forward to it... and I’ll comment back to you.
The Left never stops, never shoots their own in the back

I dunno about that. What about the Bernie-bots vs. the moderates? That sounds like a big battle brewing inside the D
Dems.
We’ll see what the next few months bring. Will the Dems rally around Pelosi?
Not every one of the GOP candidates was worth the trouble.
It’s a good chance people figured McSally would become Flake II or McShame II.
Yes, it probably would be best for her to not pursue politics further at this point.
IMO, GOP has done a very bad job of campaigning the last few years. We see more DemocRATS advertised than Republicans. They need to start telling people WHY their agenda is better than “the others”. They try to appease everyone when they should be appeasing conservatives and Independents.
Going undercover sounds like a great idea, all over the country!!!
Thanks, LS. Arthur Brooks is very good. Heard his talk.
And he’s absolutely right about telling stories. Thank God for YouTube and Twitter periscopes.
So many commentators I have heard of before. They are unifying the conservative movement.
Next time I give a presentation, I’m going to lead it with a short story.
