Honestly not important. Asians are demographically moribund and not likely to become electorally relevant anytime soon.

Hispanic preferences might worry the GOP, but there's a lot of factors that are going to play into that (like assimilation) - and it's not clear that Trump will do worse than Romney.

Ok

It's really hard to express how badly Romney did with Hispanic voters. The vast majority of the small minority of Hispanics who stuck around to vote for Mitt Romney strongly strongly detest illegal immigration.

Hell, Romney probably lost many Hispanics who hated illegal immigration, because Obama didn't go totally pro-illegal until his 2nd term.

Wouldn't be surprised if Trump did BETTER than Romney just by consolidating the minority of Hispanic voters who hate illegal immigration.
Ah, so to win a group, just call them rapists.  Great thinking there buddy.

I mean, half these boards are witness: I am as much of a non-Zionist Jew as it gets. I have all but accused most pro-Israeli posters here of being Tsarist or even Nazi wannabes - and I stand by that. Had I been in Israel, I would consider even Meretz to be "too Zionist" for my taste.  My disagreement with Zionism is profound, and my distaste for the nature and policies of the current Israeli state is genuine.

But if a political candidate in my country launched a campaign largely based on the evils of Zionism, trust me, I would never vote for him/her and I would almost certainly consider this campaign to be either antisemitic or pandering to antisemites.  You could tell me 10,000 times that this has nothing to do with me, since I am not a Zionist and not a friend of Zionism: I will not believe you for a second.

Well, just wait a few months.

I wonder why Millennial Asians are so much more Dem than other generations of Asian-Americans.

Asians are a heterogeneous group and many national immigrations are ancestrally Republican/conservative. The thing about the younger generation is not merely the age difference: it is also the degree of assimillation. And Asians are assmillating into the Asian/urban mainstream, which is overwhelmingly Democratic.
