Reply #8: Well that's my point

I'm not necessarily saying we are going to win them all. I'm saying look, if we split the traditionally republican base (80% military votes), and consolidate our own, then we will win.

If 80% are voting GOP. If there are, say, 4,000,000 military votes, and we double our own vote totals from 20 to 40%. The that's a gain of 800,000 votes in the south.

If we get more blacks out to vote - even say 65% to 75%, instead of the 50% today, then that's an additional 1,000,000 votes, etc.

You add that up among the 5 groups - if we add say 500,000 votes per group, then that's a 2.5 million vote gain and about a 10% swing for us in the popular vote.

It may not be enough to win the entire south. But if we pick up LA, AR, FL, NC, VA, TN, etc. that would spell doom for the GOP. Both at the national level and in Congress.
