I work EVERY DAY with Hispanics, in Texas, lots of them.

The ones that I work with, other than their names, and varying degrees of accents, are IDENTICAL to the whites I work with, especially when it comes to politics - and yes, they are CONSERVATIVE.

The Dems are not going to get very far with Hispanics here by nominating a FLAMING LIBERAL, educated in the Northeast, who hates men. Maybe that can work in California, but not in Texas.

That has been my experience also. One of my hispanic friends I met in the early 80s. Whenever Ronald Reagan was on TV he would shush the heck out of people to shut the heck up so he could listen to his favorite president.

Most hispanics live their lives as conservatives. The only reason they will vote for a democrat is because they are lacking in political knowledge.

Re: “I work EVERY DAY with Hispanics, in Texas - they are CONSERVATIVE.”

Sorry, Bob, that's just not true.

In 2012, Texas Hispanics voted:

Obama: 70%
Romney: 29%

Ted Cruz: 35%
Paul Sadler(D): 65%

This poll comes from Latino Decisions.
