Rubio is for the “Dream act” and “comprehensive immigration reform” I.e. amnesty. Hispanics, like blacks vote for who is going to give them other people’s stuff. Legalize a significant portion of illegals and the Republicans will never win another election.p>
We have turn out the White vote, period. Convince young voters that IF they get a job they will be paying for their pot smoking, Cheetos eating buddies to sit on the couch and play video games.
I’m open to suggestion for another rock star candidate.
Rubio’s stated he’s not a Dream Act guy. He’s also balls enough to realize that immigration is an issue that needs to be dealt with. I don’t agree with a the Reagan model that i think he’s leaning for but, I also realize you can’t bury your head in the sand and wait for it to resolve.
The folks are single issue voters. The appeal hasn’t been made. Do you know how much impact you get in the hispanic community when you challenge their PRIDE? They can be turned.
Here’s where you and I disagree:
You’re bulking hispanics and blacks based on the demographic. I suspect you live on the SW border and you’re kneedeep in them.
My experience with them is over here in the southeast. I’m convinced that there are vulnerable pockets of them who ARE RIPE fOR THE PICKING. This is where customizing the message is so important. I see them as the Kurds of the US.
Blacks too. Away from the population cesspools and inner city welfare cultures, some blacks here in Alabama wouldn’t even know they were black if BET and the MSM weren’t cramming it down their throats.
Establish a front with these populations and extend our gains over time.
