Republicans don’t care about Asian people.

That’s the message Asian-American voters are sending in the Fall 2016 National Asian American Survey, which shows Hillary Clinton with an enormous 41-point lead over Donald Trump. The survey is in keeping with a larger trend of Asian-Americans becoming more Democratic, though Trump himself has been a particularly powerful catalyst. “Trump’s unfavorables are like nothing we’ve seen before,” Karthick Ramakrishnan, the survey’s director, told NBC News.

Asian-Americans, a very loose designation for a group that is highly diverse, are the fastest-growing minority in the country, making their nascent political alliances a concern for both Democrats and Republicans. Since the early 1990s, when George H.W. Bush beat Bill Clinton for the Asian-American vote, they have been steadily gravitating to the left for a number of reasons, including the Democratic Party’s positions on health care, affordable education, the economy, and guns. - NewRepublic

2. :) "Asia," SE, middle, Pacific and so on IS kinda huge.

The Democratic Party can't be everything to everyone, much as we might want to be. That not just liberals but conservatives of every possible background except Caucasian are choosing the Democratic Party is a tremendous indictment of today's calcified Republican Party. And a source of great pride and responsibility for us as long as it lasts.

Sensible conservatives of all backgrounds need and deserve a major party that represents their views, not those of dark-money backers harnessing the energy of right-wing extremist whites. This is a situation that cannot continue as it is.
