As a lifelong conservative Republican who voted for Bush 04, McCain 08, and Romney 12, I am so utterly disgusted and embarrassed of my party for nominating Trump. This election has been so depressing. Trump is going to do to latinos and young voters what Goldwater's nomination did to black voters: alienate those voters from the GOP indefinitely.
lol at the myth that the GOP lost black voters because of Goldwater and not FDR.
Richard Nixon got 30% of the black vote in 1960. Do the math.
That isn't exactly a strong number and it doesn't address the myth that the GOP was ever truly competitive with black voters post FDR. Eisenhower was the peak when he won 39%.
So if you don't fight to (near) parity for a certain demographic group you abandon it completely.
The Democrats thank you.
