Well into the 1960s, it was unclear how the Black vote would break. In 1966, the GOP in Arkansas gave Blacks what The Nation described as a "frat-like rush": Winthrop Rockefeller (R), in winning, received 88.5% of the Black vote against KKK supporter Jim Johnson (D). By 1980, what with Reagan decrying affirmative action and "welfare queens", it was clear that the Black vote was permanently Democratic.

Well into the 2000s, to the extent that people thought a woman President a real possibility, it seemed about equally likely that the first woman President would be a Democrat or a Republican. (Will it be Hillary Clinton? Elizabeth Dole?) Today, even with Biden and Sanders leading the pack and Nikki Haley waiting in the wings, most Americans today would predict the first woman President will be a Democrat.

Well, what about the close of the 2010s/start of the 2020s? What are the parties united on today, that someday won't be? Trade? Something else?

And might Nikki Haley become our first woman President? 2024 maybe?
