Demographics

I recently noticed that polls are pretty consistently showing a 5 point lead for Terry McCauliffe over Ken Cuccinelli (pardon my spelling) for the Virginia governor's race.  I wondered, how is it that McCauliffe, the Clintonista well known for his dishonesty and corruption, could possibly be polling even close in a state like Virginia?

Then I saw an analysis someplace, I think maybe on CNBC.  The commentator said that while the Republican candidate is doing well among conservatives in general, he's losing big in the female vote.  Apparently, McCauliffe's campaign has been running highly effective ads suggesting his opponent is destined to implement Texas-style restrictions on abortion as soon as he's elected.  So all those millenial single women who work in and around the Federal government in DC but live in Virginia are planning to vote to keep their access to the final birth control solution intact.

I don't know what Ken Cuccinelli has planned in terms of abortion policy.  Naturally I wouldn't lose any sleep if all the Planned Parenthood abortion clinics in Virginia closed tomorrow.  But the worst, most corrupt, most untrustworthy Democrat seems to have a chance to win nearly any political office if only he or she paints their Republican opponent as "anti-women".

Can it be that millenial women are really that promiscuous?  It seems to me if they're eschewing casual sex in anticipation of finding their future husbands, perhaps abortion wouldn't be such a huge single-issue priority for them.  Could it be true that young women in DC are easy?

Anyway, the stark division between conservative and liberal has a bold line.  It's now very easy to identify who belongs to each ideology.

Democrats own:
Young, single women
Welfare recipients to the working poor
Blacks
Lawyers
Celebrities
Homosexuals
City Dwellers
The Press/Media
Government workers of all kinds - teachers, professors, bureaucrats, etc

Republicans own:
Rural folk
Christians
Small Businesspeople
Working White Men from Middle Class to Upper-Middle Class
The Military

The Democrat constituency is outstripping the Republican constituency.  The next two election cycles are going to either cement the Democrats hold on power or break up the Obama regime and begin to roll back the clock on the extreme leftward shift pushed through over the last 5 years.

I'm not very hopeful.  Ted Cruz gave a courageous and cogent argument in his 21-hour speech on the Senate floor, but was dismissed by a group of collaborating Republicans, Democrats, the White House, and the news media.  None of whom chose to engage Cruz on the subject matter itself, but resorted to impugning Cruz' motives and denying any possibility that he may have approached his presentation out of principle.

When the Republican leadership collaborates with Democrats, all is lost for America.
