After two terms of Obama, you’d think the GOP would have learned a very valuable lesson in diversity: If you want to win the White House, you can’t do it without women or people of color.
Period.
In 2008, Obama won 53 percent of the vote to McCain’s 46 percent.
That difference could have been erased were it not for the massive demographic edge Obama had.
Asians were 62 percent Obama to McCain’s 35.
Hispanics were closer, Obama 37, McCain 31.
Blacks were the widest margin, 95 for Obama. McCain drew 4 percent.
