Hispanics in play? Two words: fool’s errand.

Not to snark, but I’d bet 75% or more of Hispanics are gonna be on large subsidy or medicaid.

Those folks are Obamacare WINNERS.

There are two groups of Hispanics (sort of like other groups of Americans). The first group came here legally or have been here legally for generations, may think of themselves as Hispanic only as an identifying characteristic the same way I think of myself as an American of English, Native American and Danish descent. Their voting behavior does not differ all that much from other Americans because they consider themselves Americans first and foremost.

The other group, if they didn't come here illegally, is in strong sympathy with those who have. They think of themselves as Latino first and American second, if at all. Their primary interest is in getting more free stuff from the government.

More of them vote like the second group due to decades of non-immigration law enforcement. This is the main reason the Hispanic vote has been trending Democrat because the pool of Americans which can be identified as Hispanic is increasingly diluted by said group.

Love (and by love I mean hate) how the media is so eager to keep identity politics in place that all persons of a particular race are a monolithic voting bloc to them.

If I didn’t know better I’d call it stereotyping or even (whisper it)....racism.

The article basically says they are disillusioned because their Free Sh*t Delivery did not show up as scheduled.

No way, no how should Republicans try and play in that space.

Agree - immigration/citizenship is their issue and we won’t ever gain them.

The only question which needs to be asked of Hispanics is as follows: “Is Latin the new Black?”.

lol Exactly. Hispanics in play ... never ... gonna ... happen. But, the GOP elite nitwits will waste time on it I’m sure.
