This time the (white) American majority might vote and change the country's path
2016-02-29
The view from abroad.
[Jpost] For the past presidential elections, the votes of the minorities -- not of the majority - were crucial in electing a president. It looks like, this time the situation is changing for good -- now the majority intends to elect the president.

Although the majority is mostly "white" and many among the minorities are "black or colored", the election result will not be defined by confrontation between different races. Rather this time, the election result will be defined by the confrontation between the majority believing in American-style Judeo-Christian principles as the foundation of a just society and the minorities supporting other principles.

From the news media of analytical mind-set:
A changing America: In 2012, blacks outvoted whites.
A Census report on the 2012 election finds that blacks were more likely to vote than whites for the first time. The number of white voters declined by more than 2 million, another first.
Besides a lower voting rate, the number of white voters declined in 2012. There were 1.1 million more eligible white voters in 2012 than in 2008, but their total votes cast dropped by more than 2 million -- the first time any racial group has shown a decline in net voting since the Census began tracking the issue, in 1996.

From the news media of minorities’ mind-set:
Donald Trump has a white supremacist problem. The only question is whether he will ignore it, deny it or do something about it.

From the Nevada 2016 primaries results:
In the Democratic Party primaries, just about 12,000 citizens of the state voted; in the Republican Party primaries, uncharacteristically high number, over 75,000 citizens of the state voted.
Interesting. Is this an open primary, or must one have previously chosen which primary to vote in?
The above quotes from the news media bring the following questions:
o Why the (presumably white) majority has not participated in the past presidential elections?
o Why Nevada 2016 primaries have attracted a negligible number of Democrats while Republicans have voted in mass?
o If the majority has decided to participate in the election, what it would demand from the government?
o Is this is true that the (presumably white) majority have white supremacist problem?

Below are most probable answers to these four questions.

#4  Once you lose it, you'll never get it back as long as the power and money remain concentrated. It has to come down, all too often unwillingly, for the opportunity to have a constitutional republic again. That's history.

#3  In a democracy the rights of the majority come first. In a republic the rights of the individuals come first.

We were formerly a Constitutional Republic. not so much anymore, and Trump or Hillary or Bernie will only make it worse.

#2  Politicians deliberately import people from other cultures in an effort to dilute culturally American voices in elections - then call us racists. Too bad we can't vote to just hang them all.

#1  o Is this is true that the (presumably white) majority have white supremacist problem?

That's how the Left has always defined it. Never mind in a classical democracy/republic the interests of the majority are to come first and they themselves protected in their natural rights. Anything less is at best an oligarchy of special interests.
