Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., appears to have conceded that the Republican Party has alienated Hispanic voters and will have to rely increasingly on white voters to win in November.
.

McCain will face off against several Republican primary challengers in August. Polls show McCain currently tied with his general election opponent, Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick (D-Ariz.).

If the GOP lost Hispanics, they picked up high-information voting blue-collar democrats and independents. thanks to Trump.

I wish McCain would tell his supplicants not to be “skeered of a President Trump. He’s a good family man” like he said in his last debate with Barry - a debate which turned out to be a long and rambling concession speech.

Pandering to these groups NEVER pays off.

Republicans freed the slaves
Reagan granted amnesty to the Hispanics.

Now both groups hate us.

It seems like this doesn’t exact work the way many like McCain think it does.

Meh, Republicans might have lost illegals, but as long as we make sure they never get citizenship OR LEGAL PERMANENT RESIDENCY, it won’t matter.

Legal immigrants worth their salt don’t sympathize with the illegal line-jumpers. As time goes on, more will come around to realize that the Democrat agenda of socialism is to be avoided if long-term prosperity is their goal.

Not the ones who came here the right way and are (or intend to be) Americans. The illegal invasion harms them as much as anyone.

McCain pandered to Hispanics with his amnesty bill and ended up getting FEWER Hispanics than the election before his (2008 vs 2004).

He LOST 4 million conservative voters because of his pandering.

We don’t need advice from losers.

McCain is right.....but the problem is the only way to win Hispanics is to support amnesty and open borders.

Hate to say it, but this is the doing of the amnesty bill Reagan signed in 1987. This allowed the anti white Hispanic coalition to form and defeat us.

Can’t lose what you never had.

Yep, and the price to get them is ruinous.

Juan proved in 2008 that pandering would not win the Hispanic vote, so what his he moaning about now? He just needs to acknowledge his 2008 failure and think of some new approach to Hispanics (but he’s probably not capable of that).
