This is who they want to run against!
Jamelle is sooooo concerned for the GOP. I didn’t realize rats cared for the GOP so much. Aren’t we all feeling the love?
Marching orders from camp’s Hillary and Jeb!
Other than the Nazis, I can't think of a single group in world history more consumed by their obsession with race than the current American leftist.
This is who they want to run against!
“It will offend and turn off voters who have conservative ideas and beliefs but won’t sanction or support anti-immigrant sentiment.”
It probably will offend them, all four of them.
Trump and Republicans in general are pro-Latino and pro-immigrant.
Trump and the Republicans are anti-criminal. As much as Slate and their ilk might not like it, “Criminal” does not equate to “immigrant” or “Latino”. Or even “Latino immigrant”.
It does equate to people of whatever ethnicity who violate US immigration law and sneak into the country across a porous and poorly policed border without so much as a “how-de-do” to the US immigration authorities. Until of course, they have made contact with the local Democrat machine and been set up with a taxpayer-paid immigration lawyer, food stamps, school for the kids, free medical care etc.
All this is not lost on the American voter even if it seems to be lost on the spittle-flecked “journalists” at Slate and their ilk. Republicans will not be harmed by this debate. Keep it up.
For each hypothetical Hispanic voter that the Republicans get for pushing Open Borders and IGNORING the death of that woman in San Francisco, they lose 10 conservative voters (either they will stay home or they will vote 3rd Party...they are through putting up with this crap).
Likewise, for each hypothetical Hispanic voter that the Republicans lose pushing Border Security and promising to clean up the mess left by Obama (and earlier Republicans, for that matter), they GAIN 10 conservative voters who otherwise would not have voted (or voted 3rd party). Furthermore, Republicans will pull-in a decent number of America-Loving Independents (yes, some independents love America), and very possibly a fair number of Democrats (no comment regarding love of America, although there was a story last weekend about a union member that got caught by a surveillance camera holding an American Flag - needless to say, he apologized PROFUSELY and promised to never do that stunt again).
I can see why the Democrats are now DESPERATE to get the Republican Party back to demoralizing its base - it scares the hell out of them if we actually have a candidate we will turn out for - and I don’t blame them.
That block, along with another block never really helped the Republicans before, can’t see why they carry so much weight now. Just get the consertatives out in full force and along with the rest of the dissatisfied people and we can win big time. Nominate CRUZ and , I believe our problem is resolved. Just my opinion.
If you remember Sarah drew crowds like Donald is presently drawing, those are the dissatisfied voters and they will come as long as they stay in view/sight until Nov. 2016
Then how come back in 2010 and 2011 when I was heavily involved in The Tea Party and Sarah PAC, All The Chairwomen were either Latinas, Filipinas or other East Asians?
Is it because the Tea Party Transcends that sort of differences?
That we do truly believe E pluribus unum? HMMM? Or is it that Balkanziation always suits the left best? >:(
But Trump also illustrates a second, more complicated problem. As long as his rhetoric has a place in Republican politics—as long as it has defenders—it won’t just alienate Latinos. It will offend and turn off voters who have conservative ideas and beliefs but won’t sanction or support anti-[illegal] immigrant sentiment.(Correction added to make statement truthful)
Who are these people who have conservative ideas and beliefs but love illegal immigration? Is that you, Marco? Remember, telling lies is not very becoming and traitorous anti-sovereign nation behavior is even worse.
Angry rants? They are terrified he is going to destroy their Marxist arrangements.
Pray America is waking
I love these libs who think they know the first thing about Conservatives. And of course, they are soooo concerned about our electoral prospects.
Libs don’t even know their own candidates are pandering to their base instincts. They have not the slightest idea of the damage being done to this country by a criminal elite that seeks to use them as mere bodies in a repeating re-election scheme. They’re “in” on it, and they think it’s great.
The idea that Republicans will ever, ever, ever, achieve any Hispanic electoral clout next to Democrats with the perpetual propaganda and the unending giveaways is proof positive of the full-on delusion of these volunteer liberal advisors. Guys like this and their allegedly helpful ideas don’t even rise to the level of noise.
This notion that the GOP needs to increase its share of the “Latino vote” is often repeated, but there’s no evidence for it whatsoever.
If we don’t roll over for amnesty, we will not win the Latino vote! /s
Conservatives and Christians??
This GOP “latino problem” BS is getting old also. If Romney had won 70% of the “latino” vote in the last election, he would have still lost the election. If he would have won 5% more of the white vote, he would have won it. I think republicans would be best served by trying to attract the people who might be inclined to vote for them instead of alienating those people as Romney did.
Jamelle is concerned. How about Shuntayvious, Tawanda, Haraquon, Lakisha, Anfernee, Rontavis, Lekendryk and all the others?
Trump has no chance but this writer cares less about thr GOP than the ny times does
Who/where are these conservative voters?
