View Full Version : Republicans Captured A Higher Percentage Of Hispanic Voters In Midterms Than Trump Did In 2016

The percentage of Latinos who voted for GOP candidates (https://dailycaller.com/2018/07/05/hispanic-vote-will-hurd-texas-california-florida/) in the 2018 midterm elections was higher than the percentage of Latinos who voted for Donald Trump in 2016.
President Trump pulled in (http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/11/29/hillary-clinton-wins-latino-vote-but-falls-below-2012-support-for-obama/) a respectable 28 percent of the Hispanic vote in 2016, despite his positions (https://dailycaller.com/2018/11/10/joe-lieberman-2020-democrats-ocasio-cortez/) on immigration and a border wall. This year, GOP candidates won 29 percent, according (http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/11/09/how-latinos-voted-in-2018-midterms/) to the Pew Research Center’s exit poll data.

In U.S. congressional races nationwide, an estimated 69% of Latinos voted for the Democratic candidate and 29% backed the Republican candidate, a more than two-to-one advantage for Democrats, according to National Election Pool exit poll data. These results largely reflect the party affiliation of Latinos. In a Pew Research Center pre-election survey, 62% of Latinos said they identify with or lean toward the Democratic Party compared with 27% who affiliated with the Republican Party. Among other racial and ethnic groups, a lower share of whites (44%) voted for Democrats in congressional races compared with blacks (90%) and Asians (77%). (Exit polls offer the first look at who voted in an election, a portrait that will be refined over time as more data, such as state voter files, become available.)
While Hispanics made up 11 percent of overall voters on election day, they formed a key electorate (https://dailycaller.com/2018/08/07/dems-hispanic-vote/) in several Senate races, including “Texas (30%), Arizona (23%), Florida (20%) and Nevada (19%),” according to Pew. Republican Ted Cruz managed to win 35 percent of the Latino vote in his Texas race for U.S. Senate, while Governor Greg Abbott won 42 percent in his campaign for re-election.

In Florida, a high population of Cuban-Americans propelled GOP Candidates Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis to 45 and 44 percent, respectively.

A lot of Latinos here have left communist or socialist countries. A lot more have seen the beginnings of socialism gain a foothold in their countries. Most first or second generation Latino immigrants aren't just conservative, but extremely conservative..... So let's make sure to push them away and run them off

I was at a service this morning in a Latino baptist church (mostly Mexicans) and even the preacher said several things in favor of Trump from his pulpit. (This is not to say that I shared his sentiment... only it shows that even to the people that have been turned into the hot topic, there's more important things to them than immigration.)

Then why do they vote overwhelmingly Demoncrat?

The numbers may be improving but they are still very bad and I would bet that the improvement comes primarily from multi-generational citizens.

The "let all my friends invade or I will vote communist" line cuts no mustard with me and if all they cared about was open borders they would vote Libertarian, they vote for insane communists because they believe in communism.

Since illegal immigirants can't vote and Hispanics are the least likely group to turn out and vote- (Hispanics are about 17% of the US population yet were less than ten percent of all voters in 2016)- which group has actually been voting for bigger government? How did we get to where we are now? Whites of European descent. Let's kick them out and ban more from coming.

Is it the Democrat's fault? Have the Republicans who rule the Presidency and both houses of Congress been reducing that spending?

Also note that most immigration now is from Asia- not Latin America.

We should drastically cut ALL immigration, we can't expel citizens but we should encourage secession or even expel states.

Criticizing a group of people certainly does NOT encourage them to support you in the next election- even if they happen to agree with you on issues. If you don't like the way the group votes, try to encourage them to come over. Don't drive them away. That is guaranteed to fail. Democrats grew by welcoming groups rejected by Republicans. If you use anti- Hispanic or anti-immigrant rhetoric, can you expect Hispanics to vote for you?

You make the erroneous assumption that somebody against stopping every single person from entering the country favors letting in anybody who wants to come. Ron Paul is not for open borders but opposes Trump's wall as well as some of his other proposals.

http://www.ronpaulinstitute.org/archives/featured-articles/2018/november/01/why-do-we-need-a-national-security-state/


Given President Trump’s impulsive decision to suddenly send 5,200 armed US soldiers to the US-Mexico border to prevent a few thousand women and children and others from seeking refugee status in the United States, which foreign citizens are entitled to do under US law, a question naturally arises with respect to those troops: What were they doing before they were sent to the border?

The answer is: Nothing, at least nothing productive.


The biggest mistake the United States ever made was to convert the US government from a limited-government republic into a national-security state. The Founding Fathers and the Framers had it right. The best thing that the American people could ever do is dismantle their national-security state governmental structure and restore a limited-government republic to our land. That would naturally entail the dismantling, not the reform, of the NSA, CIA, Pentagon, and what former President Eisenhower labeled the military-industrial-congressional complex.

I have always said that immigration should be limited by number so that assimilation can take place because philosophical restrictions aren't possible.

If philosophical restrictions were possible we could let in far more immigrants, there is no possible moral objection to choosing who we allow to join the group based on them sharing the founding principles of the group.

I have always said that immigration should be limited by number so that assimilation can take place because philosophical restrictions aren't possible.

If philosophical restrictions were possible we could let in far more immigrants, there is no possible moral objection to choosing who we allow to join the group based on them sharing the founding principles of the group.

How do you enforce assimilation? Education camps? Can they continue to do and think what they want- have free thought and action? If so, perhaps they will not assimilate. How do you determine when they are fully assimilated? Is there some sort of test? Is there a time limit and they are tossed out if they don't assimilate in a certain time? "#23 has now become fully assimilated. Allow in #436. Next!"

Welcome to 1984.

I didn't say you did numb nuts.

The "let's hate all the immigrants" rhetoric hurts the very immigrants that try to come the GOP way (i.e. Marie Love) and becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.
Just who are we supposed to believe you were talking about?

Nobody said assimilation should be enforced, the fact that we can't and shouldn't enforce it just means that we must let in even fewer immigrants.

NOBODY has said "Hate all immigrants" that is a strawman.

I was talking about general tone as opposed to any one statement. Compare the tone of Donald Trump to the tone of Ron Paul on immigration and get back to me.

You come into my thread and throw a strawman (it is a strawman, NOBODY is saying "hate all immigrants) at my position and then you think you can claim it wasn't aimed ate me?

LOL

You claim you are not in favor of zero immigration yet your rules of requiring everybody to be assimilated means you will wait forever to let the next ones it since all people are different.

Yet another ridiculous strawman.

If we had a checklist for what somebody let into the country must have, what would be on it?

RINOs and commies are real no matter how hard you try to deny it and your side started crying "strawman" first while using strawmen.

Let's see. Why did Thoughtamator get his account suspended? Oh that's right. He called the shooting of a Jewish synagogue justifiable homicide because they were helping people who are going to destroy the country and kill everybody. I rest my case. And I didn't say you or anyone in this thread said that. I am talking about a general tone that hurt a republican congresswoman who descended from immigrants in her re-election bid.

Even Thoughtamator didn't say to hate all immigrants and the claim that "hate all immigrants" has anything to do with this thread is a strawman and that strawman was aimed at me and my position.
