Take a look at this US population by race chart:

Poluation by race in US

I don't think the Hispanic/Latino group is going to be overly concerned about BLM or paying reparations out of their pockets. They just want to live the American dream for the most part. There is not enough free shite you can give to change the monolithic black vote to matter. The GOP needs to embrace the Latino/Hispanic vote because they are going to be an extremely powerful voting block in the next several generations while the black population numbers aren't moving significantly thanks to abortion.

The Latino vote isn’t universal bloc voting.

There are multiple subgroups with the big ones being Cuban, Mexican, and Puerto Rican.

Cubans are fairly Republican at least in national elections.

Trump and his team shouldn’t be focusing on blacks right now.

Latinos should be the focus. He’ll need them to win Arizona, Florida, Georgia , Texas to cancel out the Karen vote.

The whole notion of “Hispanic” is confusing. A lot of Hispanics are white. Look at Daniel Suarez, The NASCAR driver: He’s white, but he is from Mexico; therefore, he’s considered a Latino and a minority.

The GOP needs to die. They're as bad as the Democrats save for a few. True conservatives and libertarians ought to be talking about breaking up this country. If the social justice crowd and minorities want a country without racist Trump supporters, give them the Northeast and the West Coast. We'll take the South and flyover country. There is no debating these people. There is no arguing with these people. You can't reason with cult members.

The difference between ethnicity and race definitely causes confusion there.

The GOP doesn’t have to win over anything. The Dems are in the process of losing them all by themselves.

Also, another thing is that hispanics are technically (at least partially) european in origin, and overwhelmingly european in culture.

A GOP strategist made an interesting point about 5 years ago during a roundtable discussion I listened to.

What makes a hispanic different than an Italian or a Slav? The latter 2 groups weren't seen as white when they first arrived, but they assimilated and became "white".

In 20-40 years, will be interesting to see how hispanics are treated in that regard.

Is a 4th generation hispanic named Matt vallero or Sarah Rodriguez a minority? I don't know.

Very good point. Hispanics are on their way to establishing white identity within America as Southern and Eastern Europeans did a hundred years ago. The GOP leadership recognized this and the electoral importance of the bloc after 2012 and it's ironic that the GOP went the way it did because it will have been better off to court hispanics who aren't going to be seen as they are now in another generation.

He should start saying, “look at how democrats destroyed the black family and community. Do you want to leave that life for your children?”

You are so ignorant, I’m surprised you can tie your shoes.

DACA is an illegal executive order. Get that through the mashed potatoes you call a brain. If you want to change immigration laws, it must go through Congress

Hispanics have a lot more in common with Conservatives than Liberals, and it isn't close.

Some get sucked into the Libtardism speak, and vote Liberal.

I honestly think more black Americans will vote for Trump this time as opposed to the last election.

I didn't really believe this until I got to california. And it turns out it is actually true.

Latinos believe blacks cause too much drama.

Remember how Reagan, GWB, and McCain's amnesty plans won over the Latino vote?





Yeah, I don't either.
