Changing Demographics will be the death knell for the Republican Party — even though it may take White House in '16

Home - No matter who wins the nomination battle, the Republican Party has a much bigger problem: demographics. A new report released by the  Center for American Progress  analyzed the demographic advantages for Democrats in 2016 and beyond and the results are overwhelmingly positive. And this should surprise no one. Observers on both sides have long  questioned  the Republican Party’s viability in an increasingly progressive and less white America. With every national election, it becomes more obvious that the GOP’s “Southern Strategy,” which exploited racial and cultural resentment for votes, has finally backfired.

Nationally, he still lags well behind Trump, but he’s been steadily climbing and is in second place in RealClearPolitics’ average. How did this happen? Most of all, Cruz seems to have benefited from the collapse of Ben Carson, who has slipped significantly. He’s also pulling some voters from Donald Trump—just as he predicted would happen eventually, which is why he cozied up to Trump for so long. Cruz recently pulled in the endorsement of influential Iowan Bob Vander Plaats, effectively clinching evangelical support in the state. His campaign is also trumpeting his data efforts, which seek to close the campaign technology gap between Republicans and Democrats. Read the full story here.
