there was a marked decline in white voter participation between 2008 and 2012. 5 million white voters showed up in 2008 did not turn out last year. consider that mitt romney took 59% of the white vote overall. if those extra white voters had shown up could have made the race a lot closer. if a future republican candidate could turn those white voters out and build on that 59% share romney got, well, then maybe the gop could still win without broadening its ethnic base that raises all sorts of troubling issues. only getting more diverse as a society. what would happen if the fault line between our two major parties bail race. one became the party of white people and the other of nonwhites. is that even possible it could happen? is that what republicans like hannity, republicans who are suddenly saying, hey, you know, we don't have incentive to do immigration reform after all? is that what they want to happen. i want to bring in shawn trendy, msnbc contributor maria these ka kumar and dino garza for the hispanic group and dave weigel, senior political correspondent at slate.com. and sha
