re: #91 Killgore Trout

I think there’s a lot of potential for the Republicans to attract more Jews, blacks and Hispanics. Unfortunately the Republicans aren’t interested.

Exactly. And Hispanics are the real X factor here. Jews make up less than 2% of the national population, and blacks are probably lost to the GOP for a while.

But Latinos are 15% of the population and the fastest growing ethnic group. In 40 years, they’ll be at 30%.

Letting people like Tancredo define the GOP’s position on immigration is insanely self-destructive. Who do you think Tancredo meant when he referred to “people who can’t even speak or spell in English”?
