Looks as though the majority of America will vote for a Democratic President again in 2016.
As we socialist Progressives like to say.    |
The Supreme Court does NOT speak for the majority. They just give their slant on a law, based on their ideology, conservative or liberal.
Only 58% of the eligible voters turned out to vote, with Obama receiving 51% of the popular vote. That means that Obama was elected by about 29.5% of the total eligible voters. A quarter of the total registered votes is HARDLY a majority of America. Before you say well this president only received this many votes or this many, you are the one that made the incorrect statement that Obama was elected by the "majority of America." That is simply not true. The majority of America did NOT vote for Obama. Only the majority of the voter turnout, which was only about 3% more than Romney.
As far as a Democrat getting the majority of the vote in the 2016 election, logic dictates different right now. If Clinton gets the nomination, she won't have the black turnout that Obama had, she is losing the female vote, the Latino vote is still undecided, and right now the Independent vote is slanting toward the GOP. I don't see it happening for you.....
