One of the favorite memes on the GOS is that Republicans are doomed because of demographics. The assumption is that minorities will always vote Democratic and will become more and more of the population.
It sounds good...until you dig into the numbers.

Let's start with Latinos.

the Department of Homeland Security’s planned campaign to aggressively deport hundreds of immigrant families fleeing violence in Central America is causing concern on the left — for reasons of both politics and policy.
“As of this moment, the distinction between Democrats and Republicans has never been clearer,” said Frank Sharry, executive director of the immigrant-rights group America's Voice. “That distinction could clearly be blurred if they start raiding young mothers who have fled violence.”
Sharry said it should be “embarrassing” for the administration that Trump is taking credit for the plan, adding, "That should make them think two or three times about following through."

Any deportation plan that Trump thinks is way cool, is not one that Obama should be implementing. Especially not in an election year.
The real problem is that this isn't out of character for Obama.

To be fair, that isn't the whole story. If you look at returns, things do look better.

However, the reason that returns are so far down isn't because of Obama, but is because there are far fewer illegal immigrants.

Plus, removals are much worse than just returns.

Well, how about Blacks?

In 2009, when Obama took office, the black poverty rate was 25.8 percent. As of 2014, according to Pew Research Center, the black poverty rate was 27.2 percent.
What about income? CNNMoney says, "Minority households' median income fell 9 percent between 2010 and 2013, compared to a drop of only 1 percent for whites."
The Financial Times said: "The median non-white family today has a net worth of just $18,100 -- almost a fifth lower than it was when Mr. Obama took office. White median wealth, on the other hand, has inched up by 1 percent to $142,000. In 2009, white households were seven times richer than their black counterparts. That gap is now eightfold. Both in relative and absolute terms, blacks are doing worse under Mr. Obama."
.. Homeownership rates have fallen six percentage points among black households -- double that among white households. ... More than 25 percent of mortgage homeowners in both high-poverty and minority neighborhoods were underwater -- owing more than their homes are now worth -- in 2013. This rate is nearly twice the shares in either white or low-poverty neighborhoods."

Now I understand that there are things that Obama couldn't do, but after 8 years his performance should have been better than this.
While Obama remains overwhelmingly popular in the black community, some blacks are talking about these facts.

“Like the rest of America, Black America, in the aggregate, is better off now than it was when I came into office,” said President Obama on December 19, in response to a question by Urban Radio Networks White House Correspondent April Ryan.
What planet African Americans are doing “better off” on is unknown. What is known is that President Obama is about to leave office with African Americans in their worst economic situation since Ronald Reagan. A look at every key stat as President Obama starts his sixth year in office illustrates that.

Even on the most politically-charged of issues, police shootings, the trend is not good.

The number of felony suspects fatally shot by police last year — 461— was the most in two decades, according to a new FBI report.

Obviously this is another issue where Obama doesn't have a lot of control, but at the same time we are also running out of issues that aren't getting worse that actually matter to average black Americans.
At some point you have to ask yourself the question of: What has the Democratic Party done to deserve the loyalty? How have they earned it?

Speaking of loyalty, the black vote for Hillary is huge. But has Hillary earned that vote? Or do people just not remember things?

Some might argue that it’s unfair to judge Hillary Clinton for the policies her husband championed years ago. But Hillary wasn’t picking out china while she was first lady. She bravely broke the mold and redefined that job in ways no woman ever had before. She not only campaigned for Bill; she also wielded power and significant influence once he was elected, lobbying for legislation and other measures. That record, and her statements from that era, should be scrutinized. In her support for the 1994 crime bill, for example, she used racially coded rhetoric to cast black children as animals. “They are not just gangs of kids anymore,” she said. “They are often the kinds of kids that are called ‘super-predators.’ No conscience, no empathy. We can talk about why they ended up that way, but first we have to bring them to heel.”

It appears that minorities are only voting Democrat because Republicans are just so awful. But that's not the same thing as loyalty, and it certainly explains the traditionally poor voter turnout from uninspired minorities.
It's also a danger sign. If the Republicans were to suddenly change tactics and not be so hostile to minority rights, the Dems could be abandoned by these groups that they've done little for.
