Is the Democratic Party a majority Caucasian Party? Or do Caucasians make up a minority within the Party?
I have read that the majority of Caucasian males identify with the Republican Party? Is it true that the majority of women voters identify with the Democratic Party?
I think we could agree that the Democratic Party is made up of a broad coalition of our people. Is there a perception that it is a Party that is run by male Caucasians? Perhaps, but is it true?
Somebody once said that either we all hang together or we will hang separately.
Food for thought.
But no dessert.

pretty simple to find the answer.

6. Nice. Thanks!
That second table is pretty nuanced - do you see that 50% of Independents are Hispanic? If Trump stays front runner much longer, the Republicans will get smashed. Nearly 50% of the Asian vote is up for grabs, too. But in terms of sheer numbers, that 38% of Indy non-Hispanic whites is a big opportunity.
Honestly, though I am for Bernie, I think any Dem candidate can capitalize on these demographics if they run a savvy campaign.

5. Yes, around 75%
Since the majority of Hispanics are considered Caucasian. Non-Hispanic whites make up around 60% of the Democratic Party.
Just look at DU. How many blacks are on there vs how many whites?
White Americans are the racial majority, with a 77.7% share of the U.S. population. African Americans are the largest racial minority, amounting to 13.2% of the population. Hispanic and Latino Americans amount to 17.1% of the population, making up the largest ethnic minority. The White, non-Hispanic or Latino population make up 62.6% of the nation's total.
If the Republican party is majority of White People Only then the Democrats would not stand a chance.

Excellent choice to bring over. One thing I have been noticing is that there are some trying to bring logic and sanity to the DUmp but the 9 to 5'ers are having none of it. This thread is an excellent example of that. DUmmies take facts and skew them so to fit their own ideological beliefs as we saw happen recently with the whole BLM blow-up. They conveniently ignore the inherent difference between a legal immigrant and an illegal
immigrantinvader. Legal immigrants are just as harmed by illegal immigrants as any other American citizen.
The same is true of black Americans who are led to believe they can only achieve success if bleeding heart white liberals give them a handout, not a hand up, the subtle bigotry of low expectations I believe it is called. After fifty plus years even the most beat down will begin to turn on the hand that feeds them because it simply becomes a matter of self respect. Black rapper's support for the Donald is just one sign of this. Slowly they are learning it is the latte lapping white liberal who has been keeping them down, putting their young men in prison an aborting their progeny. It will be a break up a lot like that of long term friends over a loan. The blacks have loaned their vote now they want to be paid back but the Dims aren't willing to cough it up. Like the man owing money, Dims are starting to cross to the other side of the street and pretend not to see their banker. Eventually pay back will come for black Americans and it will likely be at the ballot box expense of those Birkenstock wearing, Volvo driving, holier than thou, white liberals who live in gated communities while telling others how to 'live'. /rant

Is the Democrat Party a bunch of old white guys?
Yes. Hillery, Bernie, Biden, all old white guys.
