党代会刚刚召开时,罗姆尼在多项民调中与奥巴马不相上下,明显不乏胜算。但若他竞选失败,共和党重返白宫的机会将随着一次次的选举而越发微弱——除非他们大到能亲和整个少数族裔选民,小到拉拢拉丁裔的民心。
At present some 63 per cent of the American population is white. But, by around 2040, the country is likely to be “majority-minority. Hispanics currently represent 16 per cent of the American population. But 26 per cent of babies in the US last year were born to Hispanic families.
目前美国63%的人口为白人,但到2040年,该国可能会呈现少数族裔占据多数人口的局面。拉丁裔目前占据美国人口的16%,但其新生儿数量去年却占到全国的26%。
The Republicans risk getting trapped in a vicious circle. Because so many voters in their primaries are elderly “Anglos, who are upset by the changing demographics of the US, candidates for the Republican nomination are more or less compelled to adopt hardline stances on immigration. But these positions are likely to count heavily against them when they appeal to Hispanic voters in the general election.
共和党正顶着陷入恶性循环的危险。初选中有众多选民是年老的“正宗白人,美国人口格局的不断变化让他们心烦意乱,因此共和党提名候选人多多少少都不得不在移民方面采取强硬立常而在大选阶段拉拢拉丁裔选民时,这种立场就变成了重大负面因素。
