I just do not get it- why would any minority person back Trump or be a Republican at this time?

22. At least half of all minorities are conservative, that's why.

Some are naturally strong enough conservative that they are prepared by their intrinsic natures to not only swallow Republican lies, but to embrace the ones that work for them, excuse away the ones that don't, and puke at the thought of voting for liberal candidates.

What's remarkable is that the Republicans, long the party of white men, have nevertheless pandered to their bigoted base for so long, choosing corruption by seeking big money and abandonment of all principles they might have had to win by any means possible, instead of welcoming into the party the vast numbers of minority conservatives.

It will happen eventually, or maybe Hispanics especially will just move in uninvited, with other minority conservatives following. They can make it happen. They have the numbers the Sanders faction wishes it did on the left.

Itm, people like the Kochs are actively trying to break apart the "identity" factions in the Democratic Party, such as mostly monolithic black coalition, which if at all successful would be bad for us now but would only hurry the end of the virulently conservative White Man's Party.
