Right now, demonizing Hispanics gets them more pull with conservatives. Helps win primaries but kills you in the general electionHere is the REAL assessment of your link by those who know politics. LOLOLOLOLOLOL!
You El Toro the phony baloney, can think you....El Toro, are as important as you want to pretend.
Reality is................ You are in a few states....California, Illinois, Colorado, Texas, and a few more. Guess what El PHONY BALONEY, lololo!! You can't help carry any state that may change hands this time around, except for Colorado, and we don't even count that in our column! So you go ahead and think HOW IMPORTANT YOUR ETHNINTICITY IS.
You see El Phony Baloney, we always hear how hard it is for the Republicans to win the electoral college. Now you go on the map, put Florida and Ohio with the GOP, and watch how fast it is all reversed, knowing the red states are going red.
We don't care about California, or New York, lol. After we win, their power will be taken away after we break up California anyhow, lol.
Had Romney won Florida and Ohio, he would have won 253 EVs and still would have lost the election.
Here is a link that might help you.
Basic mathematics
You are correct Toro, but check your math, it wasn't because of the Hispanic vote. Those were cast in California, Illinois, Texas, and a few other states. Those votes meant little on the grand scheme of things. Is the GOP going to win California or Illinois? No! Is the GOP going to lose Texas? No? Is the GOP going to win Florida easily this time around? Yes!
Ok Toro, there was just accounted for 90% of the Hispanic vote. Run that math one more time!
Win or lose, because of the way the Hispanic vote is throughout the country pooled in certain areas, it is not as relevant as you think it is. In the over all count? Maybe. But in the electoral college; especially this time around, you are a barker who can't really bite.

Florida - 29 - 23% - 1%
Nevada - 6 - 27% - 6%
Ohio - 18 - 3% - 2%

2012 Presidential Race - Election Results by State | NBC News
The Hispanic vote influences 95 electoral votes.
This is why the RNC wrote a report dissecting the loss in 2012 and concluded that they had to be more open to Hispanics and minorities.
Republicans who think the Hispanic vote doesn't matter a whole lot have their heads up their asses.
