History will thank the African-American, Latino, and Asian-American voters who saved the world

64. The majority of his total vote came from white voters.

the truth is that voting patterns for whites indicate that race was not the reason for the decline in votes among whites. religion was the reason.

...while Obama did lose white voters by 20 points to former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney (the widest losing margin for a Democratic presidential candidate since 1984) he still won a clear popular vote victory — with a majority of his total vote nationwide coming from white voters.

...Just one in every ten Republican voters were non-white. That is the story of the 2012 election.

The reality is that this white-vote loss was concentrated among white Protestants and Catholics, as noted in links. It seems that religion, rather than race, was the factor for the loss of white voters.

You and I both know there's a vast difference between white and black Protestant churches and voters. There's an entire history there. So, those you want to accuse of being "disloyal" are those who hold religious beliefs that tend to make up the segment of the white voting public who vote for Republicans anyway, no matter the Democratic candidate.

I can't see the value in this unless you are posting this here to race bait and to attempt to apply these voting categories to people here with whom you disagree.

I doubt that very many, if any, of those white Protestant voters will be turning out for Hillary, either, even if she does have the last name of Clinton.

You should look at economic issues. What was happening in the economy during Clinton's second term, versus 2012?

You should look at the Republican attempt to impeach Clinton over a sex scandal. How many people voted AGAINST this attack by Republicans?

And, you should look at Romney, who claims to have certain religious beliefs, compared to McCain/Palin, who... well, who knows what they believe. Romney/Ryan, even tho Ryan is batshit nutty, was a more palatable ticket than McCain and Palin. She was a train wreck.

Maybe you're just a "glass half empty" kind of person.

Maybe you just want to point out negatives, instead of noting that within the span of Coretta King's lifetime, a majority made up of white people and every other ethnic category in this nation voted to elect an African-American president.

If you simply look at race, without considering factors within society, who the candidate on the other ticket was, etc... what purpose are you serving other than to try to create divisions among a strong coalition of people of various ethnicities?
