How Trump Won With Hispanics

Democrats and liberal commentators are desperately trying to explain away one of the biggest shocks of the 2024 election: Donald Trump’s 46% share of the Hispanic vote, a modern-day Republican record and remarkable improvement over the 32% he received four years ago.
But their explanations demonstrate striking elitism and lack of self-awareness and accountability. For example, Rep. Greg Casar (D-TX), likely the next Congressional Progressive Caucus chair, chalked up Latino voter erosion to right-wing “misinformation.” Joe Scarborough, co-host of Morning Joe, blamed “misogyny” and racism from Latino men. Several pundits, such as CNN’s Jim Acosta, claimed Hispanics voted against their “self-interest.” And MSNBC’s Joy Reid accused Hispanics of voting against their race: “Y’all voted with … David Duke and against your …wives, sisters, and abuelas.” This kind of race essentialism – believing that Hispanics should vote solely based on their race – is the real racism, not the perceived slights the media obsesses over.... Our key finding: Hispanics have the same concerns as everyone else. Hispanics are just as concerned about their faith and families, the economy and inflation, crime, and the direction of the country as all Americans. President Trump spoke to these concerns far better than Democrats, and that’s the reason for his historic performance with Hispanics. And, it turns out, with Americans of almost all backgrounds.

At nearly 50% of the Hispanic vote going to Trump, the Democrats will soon loose their permanent grip on this group...."IF" the GOP were smart!

"IF" the GOP were smart!
Bingo. I'm not for "DEI" but it would be nice to have even more voters and representatives who hold fast to conservative values and signify this reality before the public.

The Hispanics are more pissed off about the foreign invasion than most gringo Americans are. Thank God for that! At least somebody cares.

Simple, they want to work and not have their families torn apart.

So what smart thing does the GOP need to do to pander to this group? BTW I am sick of f-— pandering. The Latin vote can vote or not vote for GOP based on POLICY, not on whether a politician likes low riders and burritos.

Promised that all their in-laws would NOT be allowed to move in as well.
Nothing improves family relations like an ocean between you....
