I wonder how we would do with an all-Hispanic ticket?
Cruz/Rubio.
Now may be the time.
“I wonder how we would do with an all-Hispanic ticket?”
Lose. The key to permanent Republican dominance is white voters.
While Americans oppose gun control 53 to 45 overall, Hispanics support gun control 62% to 36%. More Hispanics means fewer gun rights.
While Americans support a smaller government by 48% to 41%, Hispanics support a bigger government 75% to 19%.
In the 2012 elections, Hispanics voted democrat 68% to 30%. In the 2010 midterms they voted democrat 60% to 38%, and in the 2014 midterms they voted democrat 62% to 36%.
On Obamacare, Americans disapprove 53% to 41%, while Hispanics are split 47% to 47%.
Hispanics are also more likely to support hate speech laws 50% to 24%, while white Americans slightly oppose hate speech laws 41% to 37%.
Republicans have fallen for the myth of Hispanics as “natural conservatives” at least since Ronald Reagan, and arguably well before that.
I’d support that or another minority ticket: Cruz/Jindal ‘16
