Donald Trump made such shocking inroads on Democratic support among Hispanics that some Hispanic vote experts are declaring, “there’s no such thing as a Latino vote” after 2020.
It’s not just the Hispanic counties where Trump came close or won. Even in the counties where he lost badly, he still reduced Joe Biden’s vote compared to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 vote among Hispanics by a double-digit margin.
Santa Cruz County in Arizona is 80 percent Hispanic. Hillary Clinton won the county in 2016 by 47 points. Trump was able to shave Biden’s victory in the county to 35 percent. In anti-Trump California, Hillary Clinton won the 80 percent majority Hispanic Imperial County by 42 points in 2016. Biden could only manage to win Imperial by 24 points.
Part of Trump’s relative success with Latinos may be due to his being the incumbent. But incumbency doesn’t explain Trump’s huge gains in Texas and Florida where both states went easily for the president. What may partially explain Trump’s strong support in those states might be the split developing between urban and rural Hispanics.
You can start out in Texas. A lot of articles have been written about how Trump did historically well for a Republican in South Texas. In Starr County, for example, Trump lost by a mere 5 points. Four years ago, Trump was defeated by 60 points in this county. This isn’t just non-Hispanic voters changing their mind, as the county is over 95% Hispanic. The shift in Starr and other counties in South Texas was part of what Politico called Trump winning the “Tejano vote” in the state.
Indeed, this is a big factor to keep in mind: the Hispanic community is diverse, and voters from different backgrounds and ancestry

Yeah but there was massive election fraud.
There is no way Trump lost ...
All a moot argument if Biden is sworn in.
Um, no.
BS
Only shocking to the DNC, RNC and the media. I know lots of American Hispanics, they are patriots, support law enforcement and border and immigration enforcement.
GOP has been ignoring them because they are not helpful in their open borders agenda.
“All a moot argument if Biden is sworn in.”
Despite the subsequent detractors, this post is accurate except for one word (”if” rather than “when”).
These Hispanics voted Republican for one reason only: T-R-U-M-P. They like him and they like his policies; something called a “border wall” comes immediately to mind.
These people did not vote Republican because they like Mitch McConnell’s work in the Senate. They did not vote Republican because of the combative, in-your-face spirit that Kevin “Limp Dick” McCarthy brings as House Minority Leader.
They voted Republican for one reason only, and that reason is gone now and will not be replaced by anything comparable for many years. Rather than build on this new-found Hispanic and blue-collar Democrat support by finding another (non-) politician to defy conventional “wisdom” as Trump did, come 2024 the milquetoast GOP leaders will return to the oh-so-successful days of nominating willing losers like Mitt Romney or Hanoi John McCain; it needs to be — and damn sure WILL be — someone inoffensive so as not to agitate the “Karens” in the suburbs again. It will be someone who inspires the conservative base of the GOP not one iota and who also totally fails to inspire the crossover voters as Trump once did. Any candidate who even comes close will never survive the primary election.
Mexican gangs are a real problem within the American Hispanic community. They are vicious lowlifes who terrorize Hispanic communities. Many Hispanic Americans ran away to the US to get away from the gangs.
How does anyone know what the real numbers are. Most of the Hispanic and black votes were switched to the Dem.

“We took control of more state legislatures and increased our majorities in the states we already controlled.”
It’s called “coattails”, isn’t it? Trump’s coattails.
As we’ve heard many times in the past month-plus, this is the first time ever where a Presidential candidate had significant “coattails” but no “coat” for himself somehow. IOW, Republicans everywhere benefitted from Trump being on the ballot.
If anything, that bolsters the “argument”.
There may be some enthusiasm on our side in 2022 to take back the House and take back the Senate, hopefully enough to offset Democrat vote fraud. But the kind of enthusiasm we saw for a Republican candidate in 2020 will not happen again in 2024 if the GOP has its way.
A conservative candidate who generates massive enthusiasm among us also (in case it wasn’t obvious) generates massive hatred among our enemies. And those enemies control the media. Also the voting machines.
The GOP squishes aren’t going to allow a “massive hatred” candidate to be their Presidential nominee again anytime soon. After all, they fully share in that massive hatred.
Hispanic Vote Ping
He gained so much ground among Hispanics in Texas and California but lost ground in Arizona? I don’t think so
How did Trump do among Hispanics in Maricopa county, Arizona?
The short version: Hispanics still vote overwhelming for socialism and open borders. Where there are enough Hispanic voters, the Left rules. Permanently.
Adios California
Adios Colorado
Adios Nevada
Adios Arizona

If Hispanics continue to trend r, then dems are done long term, barring Imm reform, and possibly not even then. THIS WAS THE STORY OF THE ELECTION.
Don't forget Florida, where Trump simply clobbered Dementia Joe.
