30 Years in the Wilderness 2

Ezra Klein seems to agree with me that the GOP is in serious (long-term) trouble:

As for the educated class, that's an interesting question. Much like with the conservative wing's mistrust of Hispanics, it's a policy that might have seemed electorally wise a couple years ago but is growing more questionable with every passing election. At some point, the demographic trends predicted by The Emerging Democratic Majority's will reach sufficient maturity and the GOP's decades-long effort to drive away the educated and young and the different is going to leave them making ever more exclusionary appeals to an ever smaller slice of the electorate.

Indeed.  They've really painted themselves into a corner. Welcome back America!
