Hispanic win: 'California can be Republican again' - Washington Times
According to the logic of politics, Leticia Perez should have handily won the heavily Democratic and Hispanic district in Californias central valley, and her failure to do so has Republicans eager to develop a victory template for struggling GOP candidates elsewhere in the deep-blue state and across the country.
Fresno cherry farmer and cattle rancher Andy Vidak, who is fluent in Spanish, said he captured the state Senate seat in last weeks closely watched runoff vote by connecting with Hispanic voters with a common-sense approach that focused on job creation, affordable energy and opposition to big government. He even cooked menudo, a cow-stomach soup and a Mexican favorite, at a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce event at the Bakersfield fairgrounds where 10,000 Hispanics turned out.
We always hear Democrats are focusing on Texas, claiming they want to take it. Ofc, this is a scary thought for anyone who's not a Democrat.
But it looks like the tables have turned.
California may not be so blue after all. One could argue that the Democrats don't have as much power with Texas hispanic voters either if California is any sign.
I'm not going to go into the whole "What if Hispanics DO vote republican?" We always hear that hispanics are behind the curtains, conservative in their beliefs.
But I'm not gonna hold my breath...this could be a strategy by the democrats and republicans in washington to say:
"See! Look! They DO vote Republican! Lets give them amnesty."
Since that's the narrative at the moment.
I'm not buying it though. They could vote 90% republican in the 2016 election and I still wouldn't approve amnesty. These Liberal Republicans are traitorous scum. Please don't vote Republican anymore, teach them a lesson.
