That's the thing, those are the guaranteed democrat voters you're talking about.  They'll vote democrat no matter who's on the ticket.  The problem is the white voters, even moreso, the young white voters.  A democrat who can pull in that crowd is like an unstoppable election god.  

Demographics are not destiny and we learn that from the recent election that more minorities favoured Trump over Romney in the past election according to exit polls ... 

African americans once used to be a base of republican voters which were popular with Lincoln but now that's not true anymore so democrats shouldn't keep assuming that they can take minorities for granted ... 

That might be the case for the odd minority, but now you've run into some very dicey logic.  A far cry from your original.  Heck, you're trying to claim minorities would have voted Trump.  The few minorities who voted Trump probably just did so because they found Hillary almost as vile or liked his populist message.  

Bernie probably has a better history among minorities than an actual minority.  The guy actually chained himself up with black people to protest his universities segregation of black and white students.  This was WELL before it was popular to do so.  Hillary on the other hand is the one with the famous quote of calling black people "super predators".
