Reaganfan's Reaction

[Franzl]

Actually, in many ways things haven't changed that much. For example, Romney won whites by nearly the same margin as Reagan did. But whites were 88% of voters in 1980 and now they're 72%. So in a sense Romney was like Reagan. He only ran with the wrong electorate.

And that electorate is never coming back, thankfully.

Why thankfully?

Although I don't think diversity is a bad thing...that comment was entirely in a political strategy sense.
