Hispanics have voted Democrat in every presidential election since 1972 by wide margins. So you think Republics promising mass deportations are going to attract Hispanics?The Hispanic vote will split, with fair numbers of them siding with the idea of stiff resistance to further Illegal Immigration.It's a lot smaller than 196 million.54 million Hispanics are not a small groupThis does not concern me. It is time to stop pandering to these little groups. They need to assimilate and do what's best for the country, not what they thing is best for them.
It only takes 70 million votes to win the Presidency
There is very little love lost between Blacks and Hispanics at-present, given that Hispanics have overtaken Blacks as the dominant Minority Population in the US.
And then there are the White Folk - another split-vote - with more leaning towards the (R)'s this time for a multitude of reasons, not just dealing with the Illegals.
Frankly, it's anybody's guess who's gonna come out on top this time, especially if Shrillary stays in the face, and actually becomes the Democratic standard bearer.
However, it looks like dealing with Illegal Aliens has become the Hot Button Topic of the 2016 race, at least with respect to domestic affairs, and is getting most of the oxygen in the room, so, it would appear that there's no going back, and damn the consequences - Devil take the first one who blinks.
We are, once again, entering upon a period of Interesting Times.
