The Republican Party is dying and it is time to pull the plug.


Subject:

5 Sure-Fire Signs The Republican Party Is Dying – And Help Is NOT On The Way



Asking the question: “So how’s that new strategy gone for them?” The Dallas Morning News details five areas in which the Republican Party is failing:

1. Regarding those youngsters “rolling their eyes,” Trump gets just 9 percent among Americans younger than 30, according to a McClatchy-Marist Poll conducted in early August. That’s lower than Clinton’s 41 percent, and Gary Johnson’s 23 percent and Jill Stein’s 16 percent,

2. While the report acknowledged that the GOP needs to get up-to-date on social issues, the party hasn’t. Instead, the GOP put together one of the most anti-LGBTQ platforms in history.

3. The GOP knew it struggled with female voters after Romney lost that demographic by 12 points in 2012, according to Gallup. So now the party has nominated Trump, a sexist who, according to an ABC News/Washington Post poll released on August 7, is 23 points behind Clinton with women.

4. In 2012, Romney won 5 percent of the African-American vote, according to Gallup, which the GOP knew was bad. Now, Trump, who has the support of former KKK leader David Duke, is making it even worse. In some states, he is literally getting 0 percent of the black vote, according to a NBC News-Wall Street Journal-Marist poll released in July. Zero percent.

5. When Romney won only 27 percent of the Hispanic vote, according to the Pew Hispanic Center, the GOP knew that was an issue, too. In the report, tea party leader Dick Armey explained: “You can’t call someone ugly and expect them to go to the prom with you. We’ve chased the Hispanic voter out of his natural home.” The party admitted that before nominating a man who has characterized immigrants as “criminals, drug dealers, rapists, etc.“


Noting that: “Trump will likely be crushed in November,” The Dallas Morning News concludes by stating that “this isn’t about the next four years. It’s about the next four decades.” That maybe it’s time for the GOP to face reality and let the party die in its current incarnation faced with the prospect of the changing demographics in America (“non-Anglo populations already account for more than 90 percent of population growth, according to Brookings Institution demographer William Frey,” and The U.S. Census Bureau predicts that by 2043, non-Hispanic whites will no longer be a majority of America’s population).
