3. Black vote for GOP in presidential elections: 1952 21%, 1956 39%, 1960 32%, 1964 6%. Goldwater was the watershed.

5. Post-Goldwater, GOP never got more than 15% of black vote in nationally. Likely that post-Trump same will happen with Hispanic vote

6. Trump is far more explicitly anti-Hispanic than Goldwater was anti-black. Dems will be able to run on Trump decades from now.

Aren't you assuming GOP continues anti-immigrant policies which may be less baked into DNA than racism?

No, not just anti-immigrant policies. By nominating trump they are announcing that they are the party of white nationalism.

That's a harsh judgment. Long-term consequences for nation scary if true that such a party could survive for decades.
