Is winning a Presidential election something to brag about?  When 17% of the population has been voting more than 90% Democrat, and you can bring that down to 74% in a given state, which is enough to win that state, that might be all it takes to win the election that typically turns on less than 2% of the vote.

As I've been telling my Republican friends, if they'd give the Hispanics Immigration Reform that gives the undocumented a legal way to stay, that would likely get them a majority of the Hispanic vote by enough to prevent the Democrats from ever winning again.  The Democrats had their chance during Obama's first two years and did nothing for the Hispanics.  At least the GOP got the "Gang of 8 Plan" passed in the Senate.  The House said, "Give us border security first, then we'll consider it."  Trump's doing that.
