Texas and Florida are competitive in an election

[CowboyTed]

Wishful thinking?

Demographics are what they are

Republicans can ignore them, but they will eventually catch up with you. Republicans forfeiting the Hispanic vote will cost them for a generation

People from all over the US are moving to Texas, affordable housing and jobs, it goes towards balancing the demographics, a point omitted in the article. Now whether all of them (be it white, black, Asian, middle eastern or Hispanic) back one party or another is yet to be seen hence my question to you.......

Not when it moves into recession from low price oil.

 

[rightwinger]

Texas today is 38.4% Hispanic and 44% non-hispanic white, a 5.6% difference

Texas QuickFacts from the US Census Bureau

As the Hispanic population increases due to higher birth rates and migration, Texas will move to being a Hispanic majority state.

Current Republican policies against immigration reform and petty legislation on show your papers and english only will ensure those voters will vote Democratic

That assumes Hispanics all vote Democrat. It isnt true. Bush carried the majority of Hispanics in both elections.

ALL hispanics don't have to

Only the current 73% who do

Republicans have to find a way to change that. What is your plan?

We're not Democrats. We didnt produce the worst recovery in post war history. We didnt produce the highest rate of government dependence in history. We didnt produce stagnant household incomes. We didnt produce Obamacare. We didnt cut funding for Medicaid and consign poor people to the worst doctors in the state.
That was Dems. They own it.

If that is your plan........blame Democrats
You will not get a single Hispanic voter. They are not stupid, they want solid initiatives not FoxNews propaganda

 

[rightwinger]

We can argue all we want about what "IS" is

The fact is that demographics are changing in two huge electoral vote states. Florida and Texas will decide any election one way or the other

The hispanic vote is key in those states and Republicans have done nothing to warrant more than the 27% of hispanics who voted for them to switch their loyalty

Hate rhetoric coming from the right, blocking immigration reform, demeaning and harassing legislation against Hispanics only make matters worse

The key is the future and what it will take to win Florida and Texas....Republicans are blowing it

wishful thinking on your part. hispanics are not as ignorant as you dems think they are. Sorry senor.

All we know is how hispanics currently vote and it is not Republican

That does not mean that they cannot change their votes in the future. But the question is....What do Republicans need to do to get Hispanics to change their vote?

My suggestion

Stop the offensive stupid shit. Calling hispanics lazy, stupid, borderline illegal. Respect them and their culture. Turn on any commentator or candidate who says offensive stuff

Bring real jobs to hispanic communities. Small business loans. Jobs training. Let Hispanics know they got their job because of Republicans

I know that Republicans are terrified of the Hispanic vote and want to prevent more hispanics from becoming citizens but blocking a path to citizenship will only turn more of the current vote against you

no one is calling hispanics lazy and stupid except the dems. the dems try to patronize them with free stuff in a failed attempt to buy their hearts and their votes. its not working.

want real jobs? get the fed govt out of small business, cut the corporate fed tax rate (currently the highest in the world).

Legal hispanics do not support blanket amnesty as proposed by obama, and shot down by a fed judge. No one is blocking a path to citizenship except the dems who refuse to secure the border.

Tell us RW, why do the dems want an open border?

I'm sorry

But Hispanics can hear what is being said on rightwing radio, they can read what conservatives post on boards such as this

There is alot of hate rhetric coming from the right and Republicans are looking the other way

Illinois is as blue as they come...they now have a republican governor

So does New Jersey. California has had Republican Governors

Republicans have strong grass roots state organizations that help them in local and state level elections. It does not carry over to Presidential elections

Seems to have worked great last November. You Dems just keep doing what you're doing...

25 million voters cast ballots last for Republicans last November.

70 million voted for Obama in the last election. I wouldn't be so confident

Hispanic Voters Think Opposing Immigration is Disqualifier Poll Says

More lies

 

[rightwinger]

The numbers are out there

Texas and Florida are in play and could possibly turn blue.
There is nothing that says future Hispanic voters will vote Democratic but Republicans need to give them a reason to vote Republican

What would that be?

You are not listening, they are. Sorry, but you are totally wrong on this.

so you assume that a majority of those who didn't bother to vote will vote dem??????

there is no basis for such an assumption.

There is nothing that says future Hispanic voters will vote Democratic but Republicans need to give them a reason to vote Republican

What would that be?

simple, because democrats have been lying to them and trying to use them as voting slaves.

hispanics are much more in touch with reality than you libtards think they are.

What are Dems offering? Oh yeah, free shit and class warfare. That worked really well last November.

If that is all you have ....you are going to lose and lose big

The Democratic message is getting across and obviously, the Republican message is not

If that does not change, you can count on losing Texas and Florida for generations

Wendy Davis will change Texas purple!

 

[NoNukes]

Wishful thinking?

Demographics are what they are

Republicans can ignore them, but they will eventually catch up with you. Republicans forfeiting the Hispanic vote will cost them for a generation

Texas Hispanics are more likely to be multi-generational in the US, and more conservative than Hispanics in say California and New York, where they are often 1st or 2nd generation immigrants.

Preferences don't always translate to votes. Also you have to remember the South is full of "democrats" that haven't pulled the democrat lever in decades. Long time Hispanic residents included.

These people are known as Republicans.

Texas is still a Red state

The point is that demographics are changing. It will no longer be the good ole boy redneck Texas of old

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Abbot 59%

Davis 40%

Wasn't even close

And some of them still identify as "democrats."
