People say that only white people vote Republican all the time.

Who?

And please don't say that I did.

But the majority of voters who vote republican are white. I didn't say all.

Well anyone who doesn't make seven figures and votes republican is an idiot.

I think Kanye puts it best, "Do you think racism can stop me?" He isn't saying that Republicans aren't racist. What he's saying is that Democrats aren't helping black people, even worse they use psych ops against them (keeping them under control like a slave).

Republicans aren't racist. Basically that's a smear, and that's all you got. You are doubling down on that game. I pray that God will stop you.

Kanye is a drunk and has problems in his own life.

Republicans are indeed racist, and a big part of their party platform is based on racism. It's also based on destroying the will of the working and middle class to demand an equitable share. The republican party is tilting towards a dirty authoritarianism that is based on fear mongering.

Kanye doesn't know ****. His career is in the toilet.

No one said white people should vote Republican, nor that only white people vote republican, nor any of the other absurd strawmen you're throwing up ...

Well, Kanye also said that 19th century slavery was a lifestyle choice

Lets formulate it differently, so it better reflects truth:

Not all republicans are racist (some of them even may be good people)

Republicans would do a lot better with both African Americans and Latinos if they were not so racist. I don't think that Latinos get the message as much as African Americans because Latinos often consider themselves white. Both can be both economically and socially conservative.

I do not know how much of the white vote that the Republicans would lose if they stopped being so racist.

Btw O'Rourke being so close to Cruz in polling should get you to **** in your pants, benny boy. He is clearly winning latinos and younger voters. Unfortunately even I may admit it may be a hair short. Still, Texas isn't looking as impenetrable as it once was. This could have a serious impact on any other competitive race in the state and perhaps nationally as well.

Cruz is vulnerable and unpopular. O'Rourke has won over Latinos by a sizable margin, so that could be of serious concern. O'Rourke has basically set up a greater foundation for the democratic party in Texas in the future.

I see no reason why economic and social conservativism are ideas that require one to be white. It would like arguing that only white people do calculus. We see the ideologies across all societies to some degree. That a democrat would argue that only white people should vote republican is assuming that ideologies are in fact racial requirements, which speaks volumes to me about what democrats believe.

Economic and social conservatism requires ignorance and hatred. Those concepts seem to be under a monopoly by white people lately. People vote republican out of stupidity and ignorance. They do it because they don't know any better. If you don't make seven figures or more and you vote republican, you are a fool. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.

[Giancarlo]

Cruz is winning a majority of Latinos. It's interesting that you treat this as a race war where white people should only vote republican if they want their interests represented...

Hahaha hahhahhaha. Which is why O'Rourke is so extremely close to him in the polling. No he is not you moron.

It is possible and likely considering many GOP voters are older and won't be around by 2020 or 2024. Basically they are entering a demographic crisis as a party and I believe Trump was the last gasp backlash of white nationalism. The angry old whites didn't like eight years of Obama, and Trump was basically that last ditch effort (Make America White Again - the actual slogan). By 2040, whites will be a minority in this country.

ever have a morning where the broadcast of the 1987 world series, game 7, narrates life?
