re: The Hispanic electorate is an enigma for conservative politicians.

The good news for conservatives is the issue has been identified. How can conservative candidates convince Hispanics that big government is not the solution?

That's a hard sell for people trying to establish themselves in a new country. They generally don't know the language, don't have a lot of money, ect.

The trend illustrates that, with later generations being more sympathetic to the smaller government message (not where you'd want it). So I suppose you attack it from the bloat/waste end. The problem is ineffective services at a high cost that is a drag on economic oppertunity. It's the direction the GOP should be attacking from anyway. Don't cut but streamline. In practice it should look the same, but that phrasing doesn't sound like your just looking to cut programs for poor people.

It's not hard to see what an obese dinosaur of a federal government we have. Selling the solution is a bit more delicate on the PR front. IMHO.
