Abbott's first trip post-election sent the right signal

Hispanics as a demographic are not likely to have emerged from the election feeling like winners.

A majority of Hispanic males voted for the Republicans in statewide races, as far as I have heard.

This is the kind of leadership Texas needs after a campaign in which both sides contributed more than their share of ugliness

What ugliness on the GOP side? I think there would have been headlines about it.

too bad only subscribers can leave comments

“Hispanics as a demographic are not likely to have emerged from the election feeling like winners. It’s up to Abbott to make them feel that way”

Is there any particular reason, one wonders?

We have just idiots running this country, our culture aour elections, communication, schools, language, projects, budget, future, our kids’ finances

That quote is pure BS. I know for a fact family latinos vote Repub over Dem. They know what the dems represent, what do you think they are running from?

Abbott received 44% of the Hispanic vote...and 48% of the Hispanic male vote.

His Lt. Gov., Dan Patrick, who took an even stronger stance on border security, got 47% of the Hispanic vote...and 52% of the Hispanic male vote.

Telling.

And his opponent was a Hispanic female.

More telling.

[GeronL]

very very telling

Don’t confuse us with the facts. ;-)

“Hispanics as a demographic are not likely to have emerged from the election feeling like winners.”

Actually somewhere around 45 to 50% of Hispanics VOTED REPUBLICAN in Texas, so I’m not sure that I agree with the above.

Perhaps the authors meant “Illegal Aliens” instead, since we did have Voter ID?

[okie01]

very very telling

It does suggest, doesn't it, that if the GOP wants to boost their share of the legal Hispanic vote, they' be advised to take a strong stand on securing the border and against amnesty?

[catfish1957]

Ugly secret that dims do not want to share is that the indigenous Latin population. (example ...say family was in Texas 100+ years) does not have a positive opinion of the hoard from the south.

Good....good.

As for the democrats, Abbot should make them lick the soles of his shoes.

[AuH2ORepublican]

Of course, the soles of his shoes are rather clean ....

(Sorry, but I couldn’t help myself.)

[GOPsterinMA]

Nice. Very nice.

[Impy]

Eh? Is the bottom of the shoe not called the sole?

[Impy]

Oh now I get, you are implying they were licked already. ;p
