Think Iowa’s all white? Bernie Sanders hopes Latinos will tip caucus results

MUSCATINE, Iowa — Bernie Sanders sounded awkwardly gringo in naming the Latino politician he thanked for introducing him, and he bungled the Spanish title of his own event, dropping the “con” from “Unidos con Bernie.” Yet it only seemed to endear “Tio Bernie” to the Latino voters gathered in this Iowa town to see him.

In a state often criticized as too white to hold such political influence, Latinos are key to the coalition that Sanders is trying to assemble in his bid to win the Iowa caucuses that open the Democrats’ presidential-nominating contest on Feb. 3.

KEYWORDS: iowa; latinos; sanders
"Awkwardly gringo," "too white" and "decamped." Added to my favorite liberalspeak playbook.

BTW, what about womyn? Other people of color? Transgender minorities? Where are the articles, LA Times?!

With all the poor choices it will be interesting what the turnout will be compared to Hillary and the others.

If anyone doubts that Dems want open borders in order to win elections and turn America to Communism, Bernie essentially admits it right here. The Democrats are hellish saboteurs and want the very idea of freedom to die.

It demonstrates that all these pandering politicians who speak Spanish do not win the Latin vote this way.....they see it as pandering.

Bernie may not speak Spanish and forget things, but he can still win votes.

Once the illegals suck the resources dry, guess they will infest Canadia. After that country is wrecked, where will they go?

Yep, traitorous big poultry processors and politicians have conspired to flood Iowa with illegals for 2 decades. Even Mollie Tibbets’ family support them, despite her own murder at the hands of an illegal farm worker. It’s sick and getting sicker, all over the Midwest.

This is the emotional groundwork for systematic oppression of a group. That they’re inherently immoral, bad, stupid, sinful.

Liberals have assigned original sin to whites, and it is something they can’t get forgiven. Self-flagellate and abuse your group enough, and you’ll be tolerated by your moral superiors, mostly to oppress the unrepentant sinners.

This hatred of whites is why they look at a group of whites as bad by merely existing and must be improved by the addition of as many “diverse” as possible. Furthermore, this is why liberals intentionally dropped foreign refugees into poor white communities to “dilute” the evil conservative white culture. It is considered a gift and an improvement.

This is also why liberals look at a uniformly dark crowd of the same culture and say “it is diverse, and it is good”. A community shifting from 90% white to 90% hispanic is equally monolithic, but the reality is liberals consider all other cultures better.

This is the end result of liberals’ love of novelty, a personality trait, being elevated to a moral virtue.

I’d say longer than that. I lived there a few years in the 80s and it was already underway.
