In what way is that an absolute? I came to this call by the demographics of both parties and how the Republicans seem to be trying to exclude any possible voters who might cross party lines.

Got it....
Your intent was not a simple political prediction this early on but a back door to go after the Republican party for what you perceive as a slight to blacks and hispanics.
Why not be up front......you do this quite a bit so might as well get all the preliminaries out of the way and get right to it.
And, I do apologize you were not that absolute. The idea of talking race and culture this early is quite something. I choose not to have that conversation.
The emphasis on race is not one that americans should be having. Some seem to look for reasons to bring it up.
It certainly might be a factor......I sure hope the racial attitude reflected in the lopsided voting in 2012 election does not repeat. THAT becomes a real concern for this country.
And before you say I am ignoring reality, I understand why you might say that, but the reality is different this year than in 2008 and 2012 both in demographic voting and in turnout.
I realize the country is more divided now than ever but I hope it has not become a white versus non white situation.
