A rapid “demographic shift” is helping to replace President Donald Trump’s base of white working-class voters with Democrat supporters, the Wall Street Journal reports.
A report by the Wall Street Journal details how a “demographic shift” — with the help of more than 1.2 million legal immigrants being admitted to the United States every year — is changing the American electorate in favor of Democrats. Trump’s white working-class base of support, the Journal notes, is expected to decline in population by about 2.3 percent in time for the 2020 presidential election.

I predict the big shock of the next election will be the Black and Hispanic vote for Trump. Once you get them on board the dims won't easily get them back.

Thank that evil one Ted Kennedy for slipping in this mass immigration from the third world, and we haven't been doing anything to stop it in the last 60 years or so as they take over the country and destroy it.
We really do need to just STOP all immigration legal, or illegal, for a few decades at least.

I may have illegals all wrong, but I believe they are a stealthy, self-preserving lot, most of whom came here to work and earn US dollars to send home. Would they really risk exposing themselves to possible deportation just to vote in an election?

El Correcto #8 I've said this all along. The percentage that would come out of the shadows to vote for a democrat are miniscule. They wouldn't risk getting caught by ICE at a polling place or anywhere else.

Their "shift" will be overwhelmed by the intelligence shift that is prompting people to move away from the democrats because they are getting more insane by the day and their candidates are laughable.

I have heard from the left wing media, like the WSJ, for 50 years that the demographics were changing, and that the Republicans would never get elected again---but Republicans do continue to get elected. Like everything else the media says, it is all lies and sparkle, bull from the horn.

Biggest problem I have with WSJ is its immigration policies.As I read the paper, I have to step around any stories or op-eds that cover immigration.

One major problem, WSJ: there is no assurance that the changing demographic cannot or will not vote in the interest of freedom. That nagging, little human imperative has been around for millennia. Many of the demographic you refer to are waking up. I wouldn’t count on the same old socialist tripe to carry as much weight as it once did.

If you didn't like this WSJ turd, you certainly wouldn't like their fake radio news that our local AM radio station plays from 5 to 7 every weekday. So phony that you get embarrassed for the hosts .

Well for decades the Congressional liberal Democrats have been designing what the immigration laws would be, including what classes of legal immigrants could come into the USA, and have been sabotaging the effective enforcement of the immigration laws so that as many illegal aliens as possible could get into the USA and stay, with the vast majority of those classes of aliens being poor, uneducated, unskilled, and socialist oriented people from all over the world, knowing that most who decide to vote, were bound to be leftist and liberal Democrat supporters. While all that has been going on, before the Trump era, the establishment Republicans simply ignored the fact that the Democrats were obviously manipulating the immigration laws to their long-term political benefit by manufacturing millions of New Democrat socialist foreign born voters, as long as those Democrat immigration policies provided a huge amount of cheap foreign labor for their business supporters. So if the WSJ demographic change projection becomes true with the Republicans unable to control the Congress or elect a President in the future, those shortsighted Republicans have only themselves to blame.

When Dead Ted Kennedy pushed through the Immigration Act of 1965, he promised that the ethnic mix in the U.S. would not change at all.
He lied, but after all, Dead Ted Kennedy always lied.
