Too bad reality differs from that fantasy.

Hispanic Catholics will not vote conservative, they don’t even come close, in any election, they are what ruined California.

The republican party does better with Hispanic Protestants than it does with the normal Catholic vote, why do Protestant Hispanics think the party wants them, yet the Catholic Hispanics don’t think that the GOP party wants them, is it related to Catholic politics?

Why are we getting a conservative reaction from Hispanics that become Protestants?

A lot of Catholics have been democrats since JFK. I don't know if he was the first Catholic to run for the presidency since the founding of America, but he was the first to win it.

This was a huge deal to Catholics, and many have since remained democrat simply beacuse of that.

JFK, were he to be alive today would be considered a right wing extremist for his views.

He would be appalled at the present democrat party, and even wondering how the Republicans moved so far to the left.

One of my Catholic cousins even has a shrine to JFK in his house.

He wasn't too happy when I mentioned JFK was a second generation Irish bootlegger, hardly American "royalty", when the Bush family descends from at least 6 Mayflower folks and is related to at least 7 presidents.

Not that I like the Bushes, just the way it is.

“Hispanic Catholics will not vote conservative..”
“Why are we getting a conservative reaction from Hispanics that become Protestants?”

In my not so humble opinion, I think it is related to the Catholic Church...For some reason, the Church itself leans toward, supports, the left even though they are supporting policys that they claim are not supported by the Church...it is because the Church is otherwise Left-Inclined.

Then tell me why they voted for Cruz?

Man, it’s like you’re TRYING to ensure Texas goes Dem. Why are you trying to piss off all the Catholics?

Please tell me who else you’re going to vote for so I can be sure not to support them.
