I used to go to a Catholic church outside of Tucson. People sat in the same pews Sunday after Sunday. Pretty much the whole town was represented for the five mass sessions. It was mostly third generation Mexican.

You could count the number of conservatives easily These communion taking Catholics they were generationally entrenched Democrats that knowingly approved of abortion.

That’s what I’m sayin’. They abuse categories to inflate either black or Hispanic.

White rural voters are turning out on mass- are they going to talk about a “White voter surge...”?

re: You’d think the others from places south of the border, would know corrupt politicians as well.

In Mexico PRI is the party of corruption and the current president. PAN is the party of the 2 previous presidents. Calderon was a Santorum style social conservative. Fox was a libertarian leaning type. PRD is the 3d party, the party of Occuply WallStreet types.

People of Mexican heritage bring one (or a combination) of these politics with them to the US. They are not all the same. But they can be united in their vote at times.

In a working/lower middle class heavily Hispanic suburb I got 100% of the Hispanic vote for the most conservative, anti-corruption slate in a 3 way race against corrupt Republicans and Union Dems. (Except 1 Puerto Rican lady on welfare.)

It can be done.

The current Gov of Puerto Rico is corrupt Dem. But his predecessor was Freedom Caucus Republican. The big change in FL is the massive movement of Puerto Ricans fleeing the Puerto Rico of the current Dem Governor. If approached properly, they can be won over to Trump.

Most Hispanics want the welfare state. No amount of pandering will change that. Proof? John McCain WROTE the 2006 amnesty bill...and got only 22% of the Hispanic vote. Screw them all and get out the WHITES.

Trump is getting 42% of the Latino vote. Between the Cubans, the legal immigrants who prefer speaking English, and the men in that highly Macho culture who WILL NOT vote for some angry lily-white harridan and prefer supporting a REAL man, I think the “Hispanic surge” means a Trump Landslide.
