They were discussing this on the radio today. Conservatism is perceived as a value of white, Christian, male, rural/small town types. Yesterday, Latinos overwhelming supported a candidate who is diametrically opposed to conservative values. Are we to believe that Latinos are going to have an ideological transformation because conservatives run a Latino? I wouldn’t have a problem supporting a Latino or any other minority — for the right reasons. But I remember hearing talk about Rubio and Jindal in the past and behind the talk was the idea that we have a “colored guy” too. I want the best man/woman for the job. I don’t care about race.

I don’t care about race either. But we really need to live in the real world, and sadly, millions of voters do care about race. What’s wrong with running a latino, if they are truly a conservative or center-right candidate?

Good post
But idiots rule here

Still clinging to race pandering while totally ignorant this was the power of an anti white electorate

These are just as liable for our decline as the left

Demographics are destiny

That got some of us banned here in the past

We are now governed by a non white minority

I hope all the numbnuts here are happy
