And in 2012 and 2010?
Notice how _Asians_ vote +1 for the GOP that year
that gives context for a trend
Well, shit
A minority group voted for Rs at some point?
That speaks for potential
Asians used to be a reliable GOP base,
what changed was they all move to urban areas, where all racial groups trend blue
Eh, what can you really do about that
Anyways, do you have the 2012 and 2010 data also, just to make sure we have a trend?
i'm looking, that data seems pretty ancient and buried lol
_oh_
in 2012, Whites made up 72% of the electorate
mostly because minority turnout was high because Obama was on the ballot
well, that's something, they do turn out higher in the midterms then
asians also voted much more dem than in midterms
again, because Obama
this is all very interesting
@🎃Boo-ton🎃 I can see Asians coming back to the GOP at some point. I don't buy the whole "Collective Asian Culture". They would be perfect Republicans. Especially Koreans and Japanese.
@Den i could buy into that hypothesis
fortunately for us,
most Democrat candidates in the midterms will be White, so turnout can't be _that_ high
I especially with the number of Evangelical Koreans. I think over time as they begin to feel more "Mainstream American".
Didn't the asians also vote for Clinton too?
actually no
What exactly was their vote?
55% for Bush
Also Asians are clustered in NYC, California, Philadelphia etc. please that are very heavy Democrat. That could effect their Democrat lean.
Hillary Clinton
Actually more Republican than Whites
Not Willy
oh, lol, I thought you meant 1992
not great,
they voted like Hispanics
+38 for Clinton nationwide
Like Asians down south may not nearly be as Democrat then the National Average because of that
Well there you go, it has nothing to do with a racial minority being on the ballot then
