Trump has a Latino Problem

Well I know over a dozen legal immigrants, including my wife, and they to a person despise Trump and think he's a bigot. How many legal immigrants have you talked too?

Most the legal immigrants I know are Asian immigrants. To say the Latinos I know who are legal immigrants "despise" Trump would be a pretty strong understatement.

Prior to Trump Latinos were voting about 60% Democrat and 40% Republican and in 2000 and 2004 they helped put W in the White House. Now over 90% Latinos are voting Democrat because of the right wing rhetoric on immigration.

What rhetoric? Is expecting people to abide by immigration laws and wanting to do something about it because so many don't considered rhetoric?

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice looking guy" - Joe Biden in February, 2007

PMP said nothing to that level.

Thanks for proving what I said you hypocritically did when it came to claiming racism.

he thinks I'm a racist for quoting Biden but doesn't think Biden is racist for saying it.........

Well if you make it more expensive with artificial regulations then duh. But we know how warm and cozy government regulations make you lefties feel. It is like having a Doberman as a watch dog. Nothing can harm you and you will be protected for life.

Unless that Doberman decides that YOU are the threat. :eek2:
 
To reach the 270 electoral votes it takes, the businessman and reality TV star will have to carry a number of states that have not voted Republican in well over a generation, while prevailing in several battlegrounds where, polls show, he starts behind.

He must also defend states the GOP has reliably counted on for decades.

“It’s a very steep slope to climb,” said William Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institute in Washington, who has closely studied the political composition of the 50 states.

Ordinarily, Republicans might have greater cause for optimism.

Obama’s approval has risen throughout the year and now sits above 50% in many polls, which helps Democrats.

Democrats face another significant disadvantage: Their nominee, most likely Hillary Clinton, will be seeking the party’s third consecutive term in the White House, something voters rarely grant.

Put those factors together and political forecasts might normally suggest a slight Republican advantage in November, said Alan Abramowitz, an Emory University political scientist who has written extensively on presidential elections.

“But,” he added, “that’s not factoring in Donald Trump.”

Pollsters, political scientists and swing-state strategists in both parties offered similar assessments: Trump’s extraordinary level of unpopularity, particularly with minorities and women, coupled with sharp divisions within the Republican Party, means he starts the fall campaign in a deep hole.

Sizable shifts in the electoral map are rare from one presidential campaign to the next and, based on recent performance, Democrats start out the fall contest with a considerable advantage.

The Democrats have won 18 states and the District of Columbia in each of the last six presidential elections.

Anchored by California and Trump’s native New York, those states offer 242 electoral votes.

There are 13 states that have gone Republican in every presidential race since 1992, adding up to 102 electoral votes. An additional half-dozen lean strongly toward the GOP, raising the total to 142.

To reach the White House, Trump will have to greatly expand the competitive map.

Demographic shifts and the Manhattan mogul’s dismal standing with broad swaths of the electorate will make that difficult.

Are you shocked that Democrats have won D.C. that much. It's overwhelmingly black and 95% of them in recent elections prefer to stay on the plantation.

HE'S GOT NURSE FOCKER'S VOTE​




Given his incredibly derisive comments about Mexicans and other immigrants, it’s reasonable to think that there would be an enormous turnout of Hispanics to stop Donald Trump.

If so, Nevada and Colorado — which were expected to be major battlegrounds — could move beyond Trump’s reach.

So would Florida, a perennial toss-up.

The nation’s most populous swing state has moved slowly but steadily toward Democrats since the 2000 election ended in a chaotic tie. The 50-50 electorate that year reflected a Florida that’s gone now.

The percentage of whites in the state has declined steadily and huge immigration from economically strapped Puerto Rico has changed Florida’s Latino population, once primarily Cuban, to a more Democratic-leaning electorate.

In 2012, Romney carried about 40% of the state’s Latino voters and still lost to Obama.

This time around, Trump would do well to win a quarter of Florida’s Latinos. That’s not a valid mix to win.

You have to have a better message than ‘The Hispanics love me,’ because the numbers show that they don’t.
