A possible answer is that he wants his opponents to misunderestimate him.
Henry Ford wasn’t the last guy to profit pitting blacks against hispanics.
I’d imagine Perry is just standing back, saying ‘hmmmm’.
“Well, in Practical Yield terms, Cain just drove what little hispanic support he may have had to Perry, and pulled ALL of what little black support Perry may have had from him.”
While I don’t agree with you on black support, I also don’t worry much about it. As to Hispanic support, most Hispanics that I know are against open-borders, so I don’t see the rub here.
We can not criticize the great Herman Cain.
It will be interesting to see how the media responds to this.
Hardly.
Every poll of legal Hispanics demonstrates that the community is strongly in favor of securing the border -- by about a 2-to-1 margin. p> The press never publicizes this fact. But my personal experience and Hispanic neighbors fully confirm this.
Anybody who contends otherwise is, with all due respect, ill-informed.
The Republicans would be advised to take a strong stand on closing the border -- it would win them the Hispanic vote. The La Raza faction would bitch and moan and holler, of course. But they are a minority of the legal Hispanic vote.
