Over the years, Republicans have shown that they know how to do token diversity outreach efforts... One often gets the sense that some Republican politicians would rather just pack these voters into gerrymandered districts designed to elect Democrats, shrug, and ignore them...Trump dramatically improved his party's margins in South Texas..South Texas Democratic congressman Filemon Vela resigned to become a lobbyist just before midnight Friday. Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has the power to call a special election. If he does, the Republican nominee will be favored to win and represent this 84% Hispanic district... There hasn't been anything quite like this since Southerners abruptly changed their voting habits in the 1990s, abandoning their ancestral Democratic Party and setting off a cascade of party-switching among elected officials.... It has been something of a puzzle to many liberal pundits why Trump's presidency could have been the catalyst to move Hispanics toward the GOP. After all, Trump is a racist, right? Some liberals bemoan the fact that Trump's peculiar form of bravado appeals to a number of macho Hispanic men. But the more plausible explanation is that most Hispanics are and always have been close to working-class white people... in the real world, they are demographically almost identical to the non-Hispanic white working-class voters who made Trump what he was in the first place. Sure, Latino voters may be a bit more religious than their Anglo cousins, and the country music they listen to while driving their pickup trucks around South Texas may be more likely to feature accordions than steel guitars, but the day-to-day political concerns and the economic circumstances of these two groups have been strikingly similar for decades — it's just that they were both always ignored and considered unimportant by Republicans ... until Trump.

Wrong. Income Tax cuts always INCREASE govt revenues. Spending cuts are good too but have NOTHING to do with the revenue side of the equation.
I will refer you to the Laffer Curve. I thought everyone understood this by now.
All the spending that the American people demand can’t be funded by unicorn farts. It has to be funded somehow.
How hard is to separate the income form the spending? Are you stupid? We need spending and tax cuts.
Which is why we’ve had deficits skyrocket since the Reagan era with only some tapering down during the Clinton/Gingrich era. The L curve only works up to a certain point, anything beyond that is wishful thinking.
Face it you are dumb. The L curve has NOTHING to do with spending you mathematical boob.
