Wither the White Race (Democrats Rejoice)

Breitbart tells us that the white birthrate has dropped below replacement level in all 50 states.

This happening in Brooklyn, San Francisco, Austin is understandable. But what's up with Utah, Mississippi, Kentucky? Come on fellas, a VS box, some flowers, candlelight....this ain't rocket science guys.

Cometh the GOP's demographic demise. Or not.

Salena Zeto (PBUH) reports that FL Senator Rick Scott won 48 percent of the Hispanic vote in his two races for governor.

Ahhh, the Cubans*, says the skeptic. Cubans understandably loath the Party of Castro But the Cuban vote only accounted for 35% of the overall Hispanic vote.

Then there's the Texas case. Between 1994 and 2006 W and Rick Perry got between 33 and 49 percent of the Hispanic vote.

And in 2004 W got between 40-44 percent of the Hispanic vote nationally.

The Democrat Party of Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez thinks race trumps everything. Being a Venezuelan style Marxist, AOC should understand that race is a construct and class is everything.

*We're talkin about people, right?

There will be no Blue Wave.

An interesting and tough Senate race in Florida this year, where governor Rick Scott is challenging incumbent Democrat Bill Nelson.  These are two giants of Florida politics and the race should be a titanic clash.

Rick Scott may turn the race into a rout. 

Via Politico we learn of Scott's impressive efforts within Florida's Hispanic community. Scott speaks Spanish, does weekly interviews with Spanish language media, has a Spanish language website, etc, etc. Most interestingly:
There’s a lot higher awareness of Rick Scott. He’s got much higher name recognition. And people associate him with trying to do something for Puerto Rico,” said Marcos Vilar, director for United for Progress PAC, which had the focus groups conducted for it by the polling firm Latino Decisions.

Bill Nelson has very little name recognition,” Vilar said. “The people who know him don’t know what he’s done. They don’t know him in the community. They don’t see him out to the community as much.
We thought this seat would be a tough pickup for the GOP. Nelson has been around a long time and is well thought of and supposedly a conservative Democrat*. 

So we went over to RCP and checked out their Florida polls. Sure enough the last two senate polls show Scott in the lead.

There will be no blue wave.

*We scoff at the idea.
