A new survey from Univision, the pro-Mexico television network, demonstrates the utter folly of Republicans appealing to Hispanic voters. It finds that 68 percent have a favorable view of Hillary Clinton despite the scandals swirling around her. By contrast, only 36 percent have a favorable view of former Republican Governor Jeb Bush, who is married to a Mexican and speaks Spanish.
Bush “was the highest-rated of all the Republican candidates,” Univision reports, with Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), a one-time proponent of amnesty for illegals, coming in second with only a 35 percent approval rate.
What the poll demonstrates is that Hispanics are basically owned by the Democratic Party. The Democrats’ power grab for the Latino vote has been successful. However, ultimately the Democratic Party’s success in the presidential election depends on convincing Republicans to fruitlessly continue to appeal to Hispanics, while abandoning the GOP voter base of whites, conservatives and Christians.
Overall, in terms of political party affiliation, 57 percent of Hispanics identified themselves as Democrats and only 18 percent said they are Republicans. A total of 25 percent called themselves independent.
In another finding, 59 percent of Hispanic voters said they were satisfied with Barack Obama’s presidency after his six years in office. Clearly, most Hispanics have drunk the Kool-Aid. For them, it appears that federal benefits and legalization of border crossers are what matters. Most of them don’t bat an eye in regard to Obama’s lawless and traitorous conduct of domestic and foreign policy.
What the Republicans have left is to try to appeal to white, conservative and Christian voters.

There should be outreach, but it should be educating on the superiority of conservative, limited government. Not pandering and mimicking the left. As has been said many times, no one will vote for Dem-lite when they can buy the real thing. Show them why they as an individual is better off without massive government and hope to convince 5% to switch.
As one who agrees with the Founders' values, that duty comes quite naturally. But I would urge on all, that regardless of one's personal philosophy of Government, the deliberate effort by the Left to change the demographics of America, has far more in common with outright treason, than it has with "idealism," "altruism," or "classic liberalism." It is beyond, far, far beyond, merely despicable. And it cannot be justified simply because Leftist bullies have succeeded in making ethnic & cultural continuity taboo subjects on college campuses.
Incorrect. he likely would not win 49 states, but he’d win with ease. He was superior to anyone in the game today on either side in selling ideas, including convincing people who didn’t agree with him across the board.
truth in numbers.
alls we need is the turnout: a combination of 1.conservative candidate, 2,ground game, 3. and (unfortunatelately) a watershed event the wakes the country (seeing as this slow boil is not cutting it)
Romney won independents 50% to 45%. Romney won the white women vote 56% to 42%. He won white men 62% to 35%. Romney won the married vote (all races) 56% to 42%.
And, while the Heritage Foundation turned their back on it, consider the Jason Richwine Study.
That sounds like Mr. Cruz. I love it when I hear him say things like in state tuition is not fair to citizens and legal immigrants, and he is against ethanol.
The more entering the race the less appealing most are. Perry’s food fight with Trump has turned me completely against Perry. I am down to Cruz and two maybes.
Legal immigration is a much bigger problem than illegal aliens. Yes, we need to stop the flood of lawbreakers, but we can walk and chew gum at the same time. We must curtail legal immigration. The Brits achieved a political consensus of reducing legal immigration when the slogan, "British jobs for British workers" started to resonate among the voters. We must do the same thing. It is a matter of jobs, which resonate among all Americans including Dem constituencies.
If and when Bernie starts to look like he’s overtaking Hillary, the powers that be in the Democommie party will step in and find someone else. O’Malley or Warren, probably not Webb. I think they are just using Hillary to focus attention away from their favored candidate until the time is right.
I don't know where this myth got started, but Obama did have 3.5 million fewer votes in 2012 than he had in 2008, but Romney had one million more votes than McCain had in 2008. It is just a matter of verifiable fact. PS: Obama still won by 5 million votes.
In the 2014 midterms, the Dems could only get 33% of the white vote in NC and other states in the South.

Than reach the others. Ignoring a growing voting block is silly stupid. Pandering to them is worse, though.
Sell the American Way and convince people that we measure success by how many people get off the welfare state. Not how many are on it. Most will ignore, but some will be convinced. Our future is dependent on that happening.
Yes, exactly.
Romney went into election day thinking he was going to win. For Obama it was more of a nailbiter.
Many, many pollsters and pundits, on both sides, believed Romney was going to win.
The reason Obama won was because he used datamining techniques (see the PJ Media article on Catalist) to prevent his numbers from sinking past the point where Romney’s gain in voters would surpass them. That and Romney’s GOTV system (Orca - there’s a good Breitbart article on that) failed on election day.
Or was it sabotaged?
Or focus on doing the right thing, ignoring race and ethnicity. When you succeed, a certain proportion of any race’s thought leaders will follow you.
Did you happen to see the numbers from 2012 where Hispanics voted much more on economic issues (and particularly their support for Obamacare and other Dem policies) than immigration reform?
I remember seeing them, but can’t remember where.
I thought that went without saying.
Good question, and a good explanation, but I haven’t seen anything like that reported.
The Democrat integration of technology and GOTV in 2012 was masterful. Aided by close coordination with social media providers like FaceBook that really should have been counted as in-kind contributions.
