Polls Show Biden’s Lackluster Standing Among Latinos Could be Costly
Breitbart ^ | August 18 2020 | HARIS ALIC

Posted on 08/19/2020 12:07:58 AM PDT by knighthawk

A slew of recent polls from battlegrounds across the country seem to indicate that former Vice President Joe Biden’s lackluster standing among Latino voters could end up costing him the White House.

Since jumping into the 2020 race, the former vice president has struggled to build support among Latinos, especially younger segments of the community—many of whom favored Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) during the Democrat primary.

Most of Biden’s trouble with Latino voters stems from the Obama administration’s record of deporting three million illegal aliens between 2009 and 2017. Biden, who ran heavily on his ties to the former president during the primaries, has been forced to defend the Obama-era deportations time and again.

BS.

Biden’s problem is t6hat Trump worked for the Latino vote.
Latinos that don’t want jobs will always vote for the likes of Biden, those that appreciate jobs/opportunity won’t.

I should think that the polls where a large amount of the US population believes Biden is suffering from dementia would be a greater risk for him.

I am not a Latino but this is my own take on it:
If I were Latino, I'd be pretty pissed off that Biden never even considered for one minute choosing a Latino woman as vice president candidate. It was all about “It's gotta be an African American woman”. All the women on his list were either white (Whitmar, Elizabeth Warren, Klobuchar etc) or black (Susan Rice, etc).. No Latinos.
Given that Latinos make up a bigger percentage of the population than blacks, with Latinos constantly increasing their percentage share, and blacks have already had Obama as president, how come the apparently woke Dems did not even consider a Latino?
The second point is this BLM nonsense. Thousands of Latino small businesses have been looted, burned to the ground or destroyed by BLM hoodlums, only for black District Attorneys like Kim Gardner and Kim Fox to let them go scot-free. Black lives matter but Latino lives don't?
Now someone tell me why the heck any Latino with half a brain would vote for Biden.
Don't make sense.
Trump WILL increase his share of the Latino vote.

I believe a lot of Latinos are sick of hearing about black lives matter. It’s like no one else is supposed to matter.

Also, most Latinos know the reasons for so many of the problems blacks face. They see the culture, values, violence, etc.

Like most everyone else, they’re sick of the whining. And they are sick of the pandering the dems give them. Most probably think all lives matter — including Latinos.

Byedone was trapped when he was beholden to Clyburn for the SC primary win. He became a slave to Burn Loot Murder. I would think that Latinos would be irked by his prioritizing the black vote. Plus there are a lot of Hispanic construction workers and Trump’s a builder. If you’re going to vote for an old white guy you may as well vote for the tough guy. Hispanics are for machismo. So am I.

‘Something is not right’ says Obama’s
White House doctor about Biden, ‘He’s just lost’ Dr. Ronny Jackson, the former White House physician to Presidents Obama and Trump is speaking out about his impression of Joe Biden’s physical and mental fitness for office. “The best way I can describe every time I see him is that he’s just lost,” Jackson said. “I won’t make any particular diagnosis about dementia ... but what I will say is that something is not right,” continued the doctor, who just won a GOP congressional primary in Texas. Asked whether he’s comfortable with the idea of Biden assuming the top executive position in the country, Jackson said, “I’m not.”

And Latinos are generally a very, very hard ass-busting working lot.

I believe the Hispanics who came here to better themselves (not the welfare underclass) see no point in being taxed to death for their work/success - and THAT is the opportunity for Republicans.

It is a fine balancing act, because while some want to get ahead, others just want a sugar daddy (Uncle Sam, aka the American taxpayer). That is how AOC could appeal to those in her sh!thole district; they didn’t want jobs, just MONEY.

Since Hispanics are trafficked here for their wombs/children (to replace Americans who won’t breed), they often have different priorities - affordable housing and public school spending are probably more important to them than they might be to better-educated Americans without children.

They are split in terms of working vs. welfare (just as whites are); I see many hard-working ones, and there are large clusters of gibsmedats as well (see AOC’s district). Also, many of the “hard workers” are doing so outside of the tax structure - so they still reap all kinds of free sh!t.

Latinos need to reminded of who is doing the work, earning incomes and likely to be the future taxpayers.

Agree. Most are good hard working people.

Also, most come from areas where Christianity has strong roots.

With an increasing percentage of Hispanics voting for Trump, the goal will be to get record numbers of Hispanics out to vote.

The stupid Nazi democrats sent the BLM racists into Mexican neighborhoods to loot and burn. The Mexicans set up barriers in the streets and beat the snot out of the black racists, chasing them back into their black ghettos.

That’s why the Mexicans have turned against the racist democrats. Trump will easily win the Mexican vote.
