Another View of a Democrat Loss

You'll recollect back in September I wrote that, if she loses, Hillary will be the last white Democrat nominated to run for president. I stand by the prediction.

Now, writing for U.S. News & World Report, Mary Cate Cary examines the question of what happens to Democrats if Clinton loses.

Cary doesn't even mention candidate race - not particularly surprising as everybody is petrified of being called "racist." Here are her three points.

First, I've long thought that the anti-establishment wave that hit the right this year is heading for the left.

Second, if Clinton loses, Democrats will have to do some soul-searching on policy.

Third, a Clinton loss means millennial voters will abandon the party en masse.

I have no particular argument with any of her three points. However Cary overlooks the extent to which Obama motivated minority voters to do what they are often don't bother to do - register and vote.

It will be surprising if Clinton can replicate Obama's majorities among minorities, or be able to win if she cannot. I presume the party will draw the obvious conclusion.
