I'm not contending that the white population isn't the largest demographic in this country, Maggot. That's a fact.
What I'm saying is that the white population is shrinking as a percentage of the full population. That's an indisputable fact, not an opinion.
According to Brookings Institution demographer William Frey, whites are on track to lose their majority status by 2042 or thereabouts.
Birth rates, immigration, and intermarriage will lead to the white share of the population shrinking by a projected 6 percent between 2010 and 2050. The Hispanic population will grow by 102 percent, and the share of people identifying as two or more races will see a nearly 200 percent increase.
That's disturbing to some Americans, especially older white Americans. Those such older white Americans are, in my opinion, Donald Trump's primary target market. In order to keep and grow that base for the Republican party, Trump is alienating growing demographics. It's a losing proposition for the future of the party.
Mitt Romney managed to secure 59% of the white vote in 2012. And still, Barack Obama knocked his dick in the dirt.
And, I think Mitt got more of the female vote than will Trump.
