of the Latino vote than George W. Bush did twenty years ago, in 2004. Four years after that, Democrats won the House, 60 Senate seats, and 365 electoral college votes.

After this election, I’ve become a little fatalistic about the way we think we need to do something to attract certain demographics. Trump found issues that would resonate across all demographics and just hammered them relentlessly. With the public in the mood for change, this dynamic made him practically unstoppable. But Republicans now own whatever is coming. People will turn back to Democrats when they want change again.
