The quiet little issue that no one talked about nationally was gun control. Sandy Hook FORCED the Democrats hand and they got BURNED, badly. The NRA can rant and rave about the Dems taking away peoples’ guns, but when Democrats actually try to do it, then people get their backs up. The Hispanics that I work with in Texas are all (or mostly all) gun owners, and they intend to KEEP THEIR GUNS, and they voted that way (i.e., 45% of Hispanics voted Republican in Texas last week). The Dems are FINISHED.
I know that people talk of Texas becoming more liberal. And that is based on the big Hispanic vote in Texas. But I noted in election results that a big percentage of Hispanics in Texas vote Republican. Sounds like Hispanics in Texas are different from Hispanics in California and other states in their politics.
