Please don’t lose the point: In order to win elections, especially here in CA, we have to have some appeal with the Latinos. During the presidential election I frequented a couple of haunts in the area, telling stories about how the Dems screwed Miguel Estrada.
It’s a political reality that has been brought about by their lack of border enforcement.
When did California last vote for a Republican presidential candidate? When did they last elect a Republican senator?
There would be no dumber strategy for Republicans than to form national policies to help the party win in California. Or maybe policies should be adopted that would help the party win New York and Massachusetts? Policies that might increase votes in leftist state would decrease votes in other states.
Those far left states are not the future of the Republican party, and trying to appeal to those voters would ensure a smaller and weaker party, and probably a new third party. That idea you are stuck on would make the Republican party weak and irrelevant
I’ll stick with the wisdom of Duncan Hunter on the subject:
“What the GOP needs is a lot fewer Republicans telling latinos that Republicans hate latinos”
“Please don’t lose the point: In order to win elections, especially here in CA, we have to have some appeal with the Latinos”
Here’s a point for you: Loretta Sanchez first ran as a Republican. If she hadn’t changed parties we’d have a whole load of GOP toadies pushing her for VP, seeing as they would be bedazzled by her latina magic.
If you think it’s a good idea to elect latinos on account of their race and ethnicity, then don’t complain when you get Mexico’s corrupt culture firmly entrenched in the United States.
“During the presidential election I frequented a couple of haunts in the area, “
Whoopee. I’ve “frequented haunts” every day at work for decades. Glad you finally managed to meet a latino once during election season. Sounds about right for a GOP toadie with lots of advice for the rest of us.
“It’s a political reality that has been brought about by their lack of border enforcement.”
‘their lack of border enforcement’ You mean what Dubya did? Or in your world does only Democrat treachery garner a spotlight?
