"Chuck Todd used the phrase this morning that "the demographic time bomb just went off." Sounds right. But it needs to be understood that the Obama folk ran the best campaign ever run. So while that time bomb went off, it needed superb organizational skills to get that to show up in the polls." Indeed. As a white person who's lived in barrios for the past twenty years, I can tell you that Hispanics and blacks AREN'T bro's! The coalition Obama built may not survive. All it may take is the right wedge issue, pushed in the right way, to crack it to pieces. I think Republicans "family values" appeal to Hispanics greatly. But Republican immigration positions, when most Hispanics in the US are just a generation or two away from an illegal border crosser(s) who made the brave journey for the future of their offspring, is not. Republicans could easily fix this. They just have to quit catering to the particular hate of one group of old white supporters.
