Democrats are worried about Latino voters in the midterms, fearing that weak efforts to energize a core element of their base could imperil their bid to win control of Congress in next month's elections.
From the Sun Belt battlegrounds of Nevada and Arizona to sprawling turf wars in Texas and Florida, there are signs that the Hispanic vote - which party leaders have long hoped would be the foundation of future electoral success - has yet to flourish in their favor this year.

*************************
It was this week two years ago that Hillary Clinton’s victory looked assured, when the infamous “Access Hollywood” tape of Donald Trump bragging about sexual assault appeared all but certain to end his campaign.
Jesse Ferguson remembers it well. The deputy press secretary for Clinton’s campaign also remembers what happened a month later.
It’s why this veteran
Democratic operative can’t shake the feeling that, as promising as the
next election looks for his party, it might still all turn out wrong.
“Election Day will
either prove to me I have PTSD or show I’ve been living déjà vu,”
Ferguson said.
“I just don’t know which yet.”

What Is It
ReplyDeleteWhy is it Democrats appropriate cultures for political gain. We have Pocahontas, Elizabeth Warren, appropriating Native American culture. Now we have “Beto,” in Texas the Hispanic running against Ted Cruz. Just one small problem with “Beto,” his real name is, Robert Francis O'Rourke. He is actually a 4th generation Italian American. Robert Francis O'Rourke has ZERO Hispanic heritage. And let’s not forget Bill Clinton, the first BLACK president.

:) Good list.
DeleteO'Rourke is Italian? Truth is if he was running in NJ he'd call himself Vinny, in Massachusetts Patty. The Demorats are like STDs. They won't go away, are annoying, and make you a social outcast.
ReplyDelete:) Good one.
DeleteHey Brock, I saw this over at Irish's Site. Thought I would pass it on. Cheers. These Dems have thrown out all stops. They are full bore Guano Crazy for POWER> The PROBLEM IS NOTHING EVER HAPPENS TO THEM. Win, lose or draw, they are going to circumvent the laws, bend or break the rules, and CHEAT. By any means necessary. DAMN Dastardly Dems!
