I don’t care what some stupid NPR article says. If what your saying is true, then where is this Hispanic Conservative wave in California? There isn’t one, California has been lost forever thanks to Reagan’s amnesty. Just like we lost New Mexico, Nevada and Colorado, and now Texas is in serious danger. All these states used to be GOP strongholds BEFORE the demographics shifted, and now they aren’t.

How many states do we have to lose before people stop pretending this isn’t DELIBERATE policy of crushing the electoral chances of Republicans?

This is just desperate pleading on the scale of “Here’s how Bernie can still win”. I’m not holding my breath because the Hispanic votes went from 80% Democrat to 66% Democrat. The Democrats would have NEVER won a presidential election if our demographics were at the same levels they were prior to 1965.

The biggest transformation of this country toward socialism took place in the 1930s and 1940s under FDR. And I would argue that suburban America owes its existence to two of the biggest socialist programs in U.S. history outside of Social Security and Medicare -- the G.I. Bill and the development of the Interstate Highway System.

Republicans are perfectly capable of winning elections as long as their message resonates with people who work and pay taxes.

The more important trend we should be looking at here is urbanization, not demographics. People who live in cities are socialist by nature simply because their lives are built around having other people take care of 90% of their needs. That is what has been driving some of the most destructive policies we've seen in this country in recent decades -- including "free trade" and mass immigration. Basically, people who aren't allowed to own slaves will figure out other ways to get access to them.
