Preezy Ogruber acknowledged their value as fruit pickers and bed makers.
And this is the thanks he gets?
I’m not a democrat but I’ve lost my enthusiasm, does that count.
This could be a scenario that continues for a long while.
The democrat could win presidential elections, while Republicans win big during midterm years. This is because ‘Low Information’ voters tend to turn out for presidential elections in great numbers, while informed tax paying voters turn out for midterms. Most “Low Information’ voters probably don’t even know what a Congressman or a Senator IS, let alone when to vote for one.
Most of them REALLY ARE that stupid....
I believe with the ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION issue, Hispanics is going to drift towards Republicans. Most Hispanics are against it.
Note the comparison between 2012 and 2014, not 2010 and 2014. In other words the author made the numbers look worse by comparing a non midterm with a midterm.
I've noticed most of the mainstream press and pollsters did not want to use the figures from 2010 because it was a shellacking (Obama's word) and they didn't want to project another shellacking (as it turned out to be).
I also noticed far less polls than in 2010 despite the fact that the press was discussing a possible wave election.
The other thing this article does is not to talk about how Republicans and Conservatives feel about the midterm. I wonder why ;)
The dims may have facilitated their population surge but with a gathering plutrality and even outright majority in some precincts, I think their agenda is to "self-govern".
Half of eligible Latinos dont vote. They must not care too much about politics. If the GOP was really as evil as they say, 90% of hispanics would register and 90% of them would vote Democrat.
GOP consultants are chasing people who have little sway on the swing states.
The browning of America that non-Americans tout that only corrupt politicans and non-citizens supported = democracy hijacked.
Some interesting insights on this thread, and perhaps there is something else to consider.
I have read that many Hispanics and Latinos have a good work ethic, show up on time, and support family values. Obviously there are exceptions (drug gangs, etc).
There seems to a history of tension between the black community and the Hispanic/Latino community. Will this increase in the future, as jobs shift to the better workers? Polarization is a possibility, if blacks are seen as the pets of the dem party, and the endorsement of anti-family values by liberals continues among the liberal dems.
The dems might be surprised if they lose the vote of this demographic, probably because of their elitist assumptions that they will vote the same as the blacks.
Frankly I think the RATS stole it. There were 11 close races in California. The Rats won every one of them. That is a probability 1 out of 2048. In the case of this one they pulled the votes from Fresno that went 75% for Costa in a race that was razor thin. I don’t think this election was typical , the Republican really worked the locals in an almost door to door campaign. He even went to Union meetings! It’s too bad they managed to steal it from Johnny Tacherra because he is a real salt of the Earth kind of fellow.
There is MUCH MORE of a Latino problem for Democrats than this article is letting on. In Texas and the rest of the South (plus New Mexico) Republicans are WINNING because Latinos are voting about 45% Republican, and that includes candidates that are NOT pandering, like Dan Patrick in Texas. At the same time, whites are now voting 75-90% Republican, which leaves the Dems ONLY with black votes and that is why they’re getting their clocks cleaned here.
If the above numbers for Hispanics and whites spread, or even start to spread, North, it’s TOTALLY OVER for the Democrats.
Obviously you won’t read about that...
I don’t think Hispanic Democrats play identify politics as well as blacks, especially in areas where it is majority Hispanic
Are you Latino, Hispanic, in business, self employed?
Why are you friggin around with the openly ANTI-BUSINESS job-killing democRATS?
