The Republican Party looks like America. The Democratic Party does not. And it is the Democratic Party that needs to work harder to be more representative of America.

One Graph That Shows Which Party Really Looks Like America

The Republican Party needs to be a party that “looks more like America”
is the big lie of the left. So let’s take a look at the racial
composition of Americans and the percent of the racial vote that
Democrats and Republicans received to see which party really looks more
like America.

composition americans percent racial vote democrats republicans received party america

There’s America in gray. And the Republican Party in red right next to
it. And there’s the Democratic Party off to the side looking nothing
like America.


party america america gray republican party red democratic party america

While the 223.6 million white Americans, who look like America and
whom America looks like, were not fully represented by either party;
they were most represented by the Republican Party. The Democratic Party
really needs to work on its share of the white vote because the
Democratic Party no longer looks like America.


White Americans are the majority in 49 of the 50 state and also
continue to act as a swing vote, determining presidential elections by
shifting one way or another, in contrast to other racial groups who
narrow-mindedly vote as a bloc.


The Republican share of the vote shows inclusiveness picking up the
votes of two out of three minority groups at a greater percentage
than
their representation in the population.

The Republican share of the vote from 2012 is closest to the demographic
picture of America.
Two out of three minority groups are
overrepresented. And only black people are underrepresented for reasons
that have to do with racial pride, not a lack of Republican
inclusiveness.

    Look a lot of people, people that can think beyond ones race, are still pissed off because of the offending statement Reverand Wright made in 2008. Funny Obama went true to form and by kissing the arses of the DNC tossed Wright under the bus. Funny no one has seen hide nor hair of the Reverand Wright.
    I agree we do need to reach across the aisle but this time is has to be one of those "WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME" type thing, along with a GIVE AND TAKE.
    This country is hurting and hurting bad...ALMOST as bad as the great depression.
    I talked with my great aunt today after Thanksgiving dinner and asked her about her opinion of the recession...her answer was "I don't see that much difference between now and when I was ten", she is 90.
    She said that a lot of people died of starvation, just like now, a lot of people were homeless, just like not and a lot of people were out of work just like now. She says that Obama needs to bring back the WPA. Works Progress Administration was a program set up by Hoover. Seeing so many people were out of work and roads and hydro plants were almost non existant people earned their money for food and rent and in some cases gasoling for their "automobiles".
    Today, I am inclined to agree with her but for some off reason I cannot see people lowering themselves to WORK FOR THEIR FOOD.

    Thank you bman.
    One thing I am noticing about some of these Obamaites is when you bring up proof of what Obama is doing they don't want to hear it and either change the subject or just walk out giving you some excuse.
    My son proved that tonight...sadly he is a Democrat and thinks Obama is a better president than even Washington was...he has said it...
    Tonight we got talking about FEMA and some of the dumb ass'd things they are pulling with NJ and some of the coastal states...I showed him proof...he got pissed called me a liar and A RACIST BECAUSE I DON'T SUPPORT OBAMA...naturally I, his father, got even more pissed, smacked him in the mouth saying to him "FOR OVER 20 YEARS I HAVE TOLD YOU THE TRUTH ABOUT THINGS AND NOW BECAUSE I SHOW YOU PROOF THAT OBAMA IS A MODERN DAY HITLER YOU CALL ME A LIAR...then I told him to get out and come back when he can show respect for the man that brought him into the world..............LITERALLY.... when he finds proof that Obama did that 23 years ago then I will bow to the will of Obama...he got pissed and walked out.
    He'll return it is close to the end of the month and he don't get paid for another week and his kid is going to need diapers and formula.....

    I hear what you're saying my friend. I don't know "who" my kids both voted for but I sure hope it wasn't Obama. Yeah I think if they would have called me a liar to my face after showing them the facts then I just might have done the very same thing you did there. A lot of times not only will they get pissed but they will then label you a racist just like your son did amongst other things. I just don't understand why they can't see that hateful creature for what he is. And for the ones of us that "can" we get called all kinds of vile names for it.

    For all his life he knows better than to call me a racist because of MY RACE and his.
    He knows dad is a Native American but if he wasnt to think that so be it.
    I don't need to apologize to him or anyother politician for that matter.
    I don't like Obama and I don't pull and bones about it. If the kid wants to believe it so be it...he will wake up sooner or later....but sadly the old man wont be here when he does.

    Yeah, I hear that for sure. All you can do is hope they will come about and see the light at the end of the tunnel but they don't always do that. And it's very sad indeed. Our kids have been brainwashed by his lying b.s. Well, his and the lame stream propaganda machine that are all supporting him. According to "them" the anointed one can do "no" harm in the least. I'm sure in one way or another the 4 Americans in Benghazi that got slaughtered like animals will eventually all be blamed on Bush too. It's never Obama's fault no matter what he does.

    Well I can name a 13 year old that thinks otherwise.
    In 2009 when Obie was trying to brainwash the kids through televised broadcasts on PBS television in the schools...my grandson was expelled for the rest of the week because he got up and walked out of class when Obie started his crap.
    I was responsible for Dyl's actions as his mother was in the hospital with his dad keeping him quiet after open heart operation.
    I told the principal that the boy was old enough to know right from wrong and obviously he felt that Obama was wrong...not to mention that his mother was just recently elected to city council.
    Dyl pulled it one other time but warned the teacher that HE IS NOT A DEMOCRAT BUT A REPUBLICAN, where do that pick up that kind of stuff, AND IF BEING A REPUBLICAN IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR HIS PARENTS AND HIS GRAND PARENTS IT IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR HIM.

    I am proud of my grandson. He can hold an intelligeng conversation with the best of them.
    One of our best friends Representative Damschroder said that if he were just 4 years older he would hire him as a Page in the Ohio House...THAT bman is an honor.
    Of course his parents encourage him to read about the RNC and the DNC and so far, knock on wood, he is 100% Conservative.
    He does not like Obama and it is NOT his parents or his grand parents that have made him that way...and he will tell you.
    It is his dream when he gets out of the military to become a politician because as he says A MILITARY MAN KNOWS WHAT IT TAKES TO RUN A COUNTRY....and that from a 12 year old.

    Our children are a very strange generation, they tend not to give us the same respect that we gave to our parents. You'd think we were strangers off the street and not the people that fed, clothed and provided the roof over their heads all their lives. I think a lot of this lack of respect and care about their parents started in school when teachers started nosing into what takes place in there homes, encouraging them to turn their parents in if they hit them. I think interfering governments breakdown the family unit.

    It seems that this generation can't wait for all the baby boomers to die. It relieves them of all responsibility to their parents as they age. We decided to hell with the kids, we're spending are money now and donating to charity. What a rude awakening they will have after we're gone. They expect to inherit what we worked for. As long as they believe in redistribution, we may as well redistribute our wealth to people that are more needy than them.

    I've got a step-daughter that is the same way. To think as a kid she got really pissed off because our state doesn't tax food unless it's prepared food but decided to start taxing candy. She thought it was awful for the government to tax kids that didn't even have jobs. Now she's an Obama fan and democrat that believes in taxing anything that moves or doesn't move. I've also got a son-inlaw that is an Obama fan. While discussing Obama once he got pissed and ran to his car and locked himself in. LOL

    Fools, all of them. They have a rock star mentality and see him as a star and not a President. I don't think they know the difference.

    Ok, I'm neither a Democrat nor a Republican and I don't like either/choose either side. That being said, those graphs make no sense. The Democratic vote wasn't 93% black, 73% Asian, etc.; the party got 93% of the black vote, 73% of the Asian vote, and so forth. There's a big difference there. In order to show what the parties look like in comparison to America at large, you would have to show the racial distribution of the total votes gained by each party, not what percentage of each racial category was obtained by each party. I'm not sure if I worded that correctly, but, basically, you're doing it backwards. If both parties were to "look like America" based on your criteria, then neither party would get above 13 or so percent of the black vote, meaning that approximately 74% of black voters would vote neither Dem nor Rep. If you were doing it right, each side would have to get about half of the votes for each racial category in order for the percentages to match up. Either way, I'm not sure what point you're trying to prove here.

The electorate somewhat under represents minorities in the population due to those that are not eligible to vote, due to being underage, felons, or non-citizen residents."

    Greenfield is rebutting the Democrat charge that relates "ethnic / racial" population proportions (How America "looks") to the unknown (The parties don't collect or at least don't release this information.) of party membership. Greenfield's look at the percentage of votes won...

    Those of you disputing Greenfield's findings, whether by just screeching that you don't like them or by asking and answering your own questions that do not address the Democrat's attack which he is rebutting, can not change the basic fact that the Democrat party is primarily a party of by and for voting blocks of "the 34%." The Republican party, receiving no ethnic block votes, accepts all voters willing to make independent and informed votes.

    Hey racial make up is not all that determines whether a party is representative of the population. The democrats are also more diverse in terms of things like religiose makeup and the only reason the democratic party is so heavilly minority is because the republicans tend to have so many policies that discriminate minorities.
