Wrong. You need about 40% of Hispanic votes to win. Blowing off 17% of the population is not a winning strategy.
If you get 100% of the white vote you win. Stick your race politics up your burrito.
“Wrong. You need about 40% of Hispanic votes to win. Blowing off 17% of the population is not a winning strategy.”
You can easily make up for not getting Hispanic votes by getting the white votes that stayed home for McAmnesy and Romney.
I agree that what you say should be true, but it's not.
I recall listening to a recent analysis of the last three or four presidential elections that reported that even with an extraordinary (i.e., unachievable) shift in the number of "hispanic" votes from Democrat to Republican (something like going from 25% to 70%), the GOP candidate still would not have prevailed in even the closest election; and that but a minor percentage increase in conservative votes (from those who stayed home rather than vote for yet another GOPE/RINO) would have changed the electoral result. (I'm not making this up and will post the link to the study as soon as I can get to it.)
The point is that most "hispanics" who fled their sewer of a country to come here (legal and illegal since both types apparently are able to vote in our elections) didn't do so because they hate their socialist government, but because there's far more "free stuff" to be had here ... paid for, of course, by the far greater number of taxpayers -- that is, productive citizens -- in this country than in "hispania".
No. You merely need a bigger white voter turn out and a higher percentage of the white vote. What you do is use the border wall and illegal immigrant crime as a wedge issue to get the white vote out.
Blowing off 17% of the population is not a winning strategy.
Blowing off 77% of the population(whites) is an even Less winning strategy.
