Yeah..............................and I'm sure some people bet big on the Raiders to win the Super Bowl...doesn't mean it's wise.

2008 & 2012, with a state that is 60% white, they lost by 5%.
The 30% black population will not support the 2016 nominee as hardily as they did obama, and the hispanic population is 8%, up from 5.7% in 2000...
let's say that simply put, the hispanic population grows another 2%...and the Dems retain their 2:1 edge there, that's a net gain of 70-80k votes.
They lost to Mitt by 300k.
I don't see this happening via their hopes and dreams of demographic shifts. Try 2024.
