Correct. Since 1980, the percentage of the electorate that is white has steadily shrunk, so the possibility that it rises above the 72% from 2012 is extremely slim. It is far more likely that the trend will continue and that in 2016, the electorate will be 69-70% White.
And then there's the female vote, where Hillary is usually sailing above any GOP comer by between +20 and +39, WAY above Obama's +11 in this rubrik in 2012.
And indeed, there is the so-called BLUE WALL, which I have been describing since 2012:
Statistikhengst s ELECTORAL POLITICS - 2015 and beyond ELECTORAL COLUMNS - a map display
Also, this may be interesting to read:
Statistikhengst s ELECTORAL POLITICS - 2015 and beyond Preliminary Totals III 11 12 2012 REDUX 2004 in reverse colors Gilded Age II
(Please remember, that write-up only dealt with preliminary totals).
The Blue Wall is at least 242 EV, but with New Hampshire and New Mexico, is likely 251 EV. Just 19 more to go...
Good and sound assessment......but we must consider our right winger friends' sensibilities and fragile egos, and offer them "hope," by stating:
Fiorina will neutralize the women's vote
Carson will neutralize the blacks' vote
Rubio and Cruz will neutralize the Hispanic vote
