The GOP didn't realize that White Men are declining as a share of the electorate and population.

Well, call a spade a spade, eh what?

I think that statement is over the line.

'Over the line'?  Its the plain and obvious truth, hopper.  People have an us vs. them attitude, so if you try to reach out to the people they see as the enemy, they'll tend to support you less.  That's all.
