We should run a Rubio/Carson ticket with Fiorina getting the nod for a major political post.

Vote against the Republicans and you are a racist, xenophobic, sexist. All we need is a transgender and it would be a done deal. The liberals wouldn't know what to do.

This is true, however...

The Democrats have a huge demographic problem. They need to pull large majorities of certain groups (young adults, especially young women, Hispanics, the poor), and supermajorities of African Americans in order compensate for the fact that they WILL lose the white vote by a lot, and they will lose the middle & upper classes.

In 2012, Obama lost the vote of 'White' people by 20 points. And that's 72 percent of the electorate. But he won the 'Black' vote - 13 percent of the electorate - by 87 points (93-6), which made up for it.

Carson would upend that Math. He should expect a solid campaign to destroy him if he stays near the top. The Dems CAN NOT win if they don't win the Black vote. They probably can't win if they don't carry it by 50 or more points.

I just did some math. Gotta love spreadsheets.

Mittens lost in '12 by ~5M* votes. So in order to win the popular vote, he would have had to swing about 2.5M FBHO votes.

That would mean that Mittens would have had to win 22% of the Black vote to win the popular.

Ben Carson inspires people because he doesn't do the race baiter BS of appealing to victimization, and he truly rose out of poverty.

His mere life example inspires hope for people who are looking for solutions, not excuses.  The people that vote in the demographic described as "black" have a heck of a lot more to vote for than Obama, and they have no love for Hillary.  Most sense that she is a racist.

There are also a lot of people who don't vote that would vote for Carson because of his being genuine.

Yes.  Have you?  He's a low information candidate.  I get the strong impression he'll be wishy-washy on gun laws and everything else that's complicated below the surface because I don't get the impression he knows much about anything but brain surgery.

Fiorina is also leading Clinton right now in the RCP average. All the Republican candidates are at least narrowing the gap.

Eight years of Obama fatigue are really going to hurt the Democrats. Plus, the Dems stepped in it when they started making gun control the primary issue.

I think the GOP is going to win the popular vote. The electoral college system might make it close. The GOP must win Florida to have a chance.

A black and/or a woman on the GOP ticket would make the Dem's heads explode. But a Hispanic from Florida would probably help the GOP more.

That's hard to do because I only have the demographic breakdowns for the popular vote. Anything I do would be a guesstimate.

But you've got a very good point. You'd probably swing a bunch of southern blacks from states that would vote R anyway, and a bunch of Northern, Urban Blacks who can't swing their state.

But you might swing OH, FL, PA...  Just by cutting the Dem advantage in the inner cities.
