Hispanics Lose Faith in Democrats Over Inflation as U.S. Elections Loom
Reuters via US News ^ | May 2, 2022 | By Tim Reid and Brad Brooks

(Reuters) - Ricardo Aguirre sits near his two taco trucks and laments the soaring cost of tomatoes, onions, meat and cilantro, which have doubled in price in recent months, hammering his Phoenix-based catering business.

Aguirre, 43, usually votes for the Democratic Party. But with inflation hitting a 40-year high in February he has a stark warning for Democrats as they seek to keep control of the U.S. Congress in November's elections.

"If the Republican Party has something better to offer us, I will vote Republican," said Aguirre. Republicans, he believes, are generally better economic stewards who could have more success in reducing prices.

Of 35 Hispanic voters Reuters spoke to in two toss-up races in Arizona and Colorado, 20 - including Aguirre - said soaring inflation is causing them to seriously consider voting for Republicans. The majority of those said they usually vote Democrat.

Many said they don't necessarily blame Democrats but have lost faith in their ability to solve inflation and are increasingly willing to let Republicans try.

Even a small loss of support among Hispanics - a key component of the Democratic coalition of voters that brought President Joe Biden to power - could mean the loss of the House of Representatives and possibly the Senate for Democrats.

Four of the top 15 congressional targets for Republicans are races with heavy Mexican-American populations, according to Mike Madrid, a Republican strategist based in California.

Only the real hardcore communists will be left in the Democrat party by the time all this wreckage hits home.

Even Reuters is panicking.

That spells doom for the secular-socialists.

Inflation isn’t the only reason. It would shock the reporter to learn that a heck of a lot of Hispanics are not fond of illegal aliens.

“If the Republican Party has something better to offer us, I will vote Republican,”

Too bad. It would be a good time to have a Republican Party, like Trump’s.

If the Hispanic vote turns, watch how fast the border gets closed.

Does the US election really “loom” for the Democrats, or is the fix in?

The country was won by a handful of patriots.

It can be lost by a handful of parasites.

I’m sure the Hispanic neighborhoods are really appreciating the Biden occupations transportation of illegals into town, none of whom are vetted and most who will end up in those neighborhoods.

Just like in Brentwood Long Island near when I live where Bidens boss B.Hussein El Kenyan who transported MS-13 gang members from El Salvador onto Long Island through his “unaccompanied minors” scam that ended up killing 23 people, most of them teens, even on school grounds.

They are still prosecuting these animals 6 years after Hussein left office. Now these neighborhoods have to deal with Biden sending in reinforcements......

“or is the fix in?”

There’s always cheating by the other side according to Jessie Jackson.

But when the democrats win there is none.

Of course JJ Jr. knows a little something about election fraud.....apparently the coconut doesn’t fall far from thectree.

‘Faith in democrats...?’ You aren’t too bright, folks...you are supposed to have faith in Christ, NOT democrats. Democrats will screw you every which way possible. Idiots.

Schools and colleges are working very hard to radicalize Hispanics. To teach them about “white privilege” and how Hispanics are BIPOCs and thus victims of racism.

And sadly, that’s the only thing that will do it.

Once the Dims understand this, the border will shut tighter than Brandon’s mind.
