Brookings Minority Turnout
Voter by Race
Women's Votes
I mean, statistics show that minorities and women have recently voted Dem, and pretty substantially.
Anything more than a 2 or 3 point difference is pretty substantial in the political world. Couldn't find any numbers on the gay community, but I'd probably guess that they went Dem too.
Edit: As for the ignorance statement about the Tea Party... I can't put it better than Sorkin did in Newsroom. Tea Party Tea Party 2
While it is a hindsight looking series, most of the facts are correct.
As for my comments on Tea Party social issues, a large portion of its caucus have given very firm public statements on multiple social issues, including gay marriage, immigration, and pro-life. It isn't ignorant to say that these social issues hold back what might be good fiscal policies.

We all know the minority story with the Republicans. Nothing new.
The women's end isn't just about abortion, and you still need the pro lifers to win anything if you're the GOP. The GOP hasn't been good at speaking to other so called "women's issues". Access to birth control. Remember Rush calling Fluke a slut? Yeah, that doesn't play well. Discussions on "legitimate rape". Gender wage equality. It's no surprise the GOP isn't making up ground with women.
They best figure out how to do that for 2016. It's the group Hillary plans on riding to victory.
