Alright? I think we're all aware that Obama won Asians. Doesn't mean that Clinton will gain ten points with that demographic.
Obama won Asians 62-35 in 2008 and won them 73-27 in 2012 so Asians shifted 11 points to Obama in four years so it's not out of the question for it to trend even further to the left.
Obama probably hit the ceiling with the Asian vote in 2012 due to Romney's self-deportation comments. Plus, what makes Clinton such a good fit for Asians? Especially considering the fact that a lot of Asians are wealthier than average (especially Asian Indians), and most of them tend to be economically moderate, but only vote Dem because of social and foreign policy issues, so Rand may actually be a good fit for the demographic. I could see Rand making huge inroads with the Asian Indian vote (speaking as an Asian Indian myself), thus making Asian vote as a whole slightly more Republican than it was in 2012.
Couple of things on this. One is that Bill and Hillary Clinton did a lot of outreach to both the Latino and Asian American political communities during Bill's time as President and appointed a number of Asians to prominent posts -- Clinton was the first president to appoint an Asian to his Cabinet (Norman Mineta). Notably, it was during Clinton's Presidency that the Asian vote began to shift toward the Democrats. After losing the Asian vote 36-55 to George H.W. Bush in 1992, Clinton lost it much more narrowly (44-48) to Dole in 1996. In 2000, Gore won Asians 55-41 and the Democratic Party has easily won them in every Presidential election since.
Obama did very well with Asian voters in both of his general election races, but Hillary Clinton actually defeated Obama by a wide margin with Asian voters in the 2008 Democratic Primary (with the exception of Hawaii). She has a lot of experience with political outreach to Asians, both from her time as First Lady as well as representing New York, a state with a large Asian population. As Secretary of State she made Asia a diplomatic priority -- the "Pivot to Asia" as it later became known.
