They don't get it. Should we tell them



My breakfast ended up on the floor when the Republican woman said on MSNBC that they have a 'deep bench' when Todd gave a surprisingly frank and brutal explanation of the demographics.


I haven't heard anyone mention it.


Do the Republicans not realize that we are extremely unlikely to run another African American in 2016 so when you take the actual demographics of increasing Hispanic population along with all of the others, and you subtract the 9-10 percent of the population that was swayed, solely by race, you are going to have a very difficult time reaching 40% the next time round.

Wonder what happens when we run one of our exceptional Democratic Women at the top of the ticket?


Hmmmmmmm?
