"For the first time in over 40 years, Espanola has elected a Republican as their next mayor. ✅

Congrats Javier Sanchez!

2018-03-08 00:12:47 UTC  

um

2018-03-08 00:12:49 UTC  

no sweetie!

2018-03-08 00:13:02 UTC  

A local election is not worth getting excited over

2018-03-08 00:13:18 UTC  

of course not, but we want to see how demographics are voting

2018-03-08 00:13:26 UTC  

"84.38% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race."

2018-03-08 00:13:33 UTC  

B A S E D

2018-03-08 00:13:43 UTC  

Not what I'm getting at

2018-03-08 00:14:03 UTC  

when NM gets a Republican Senator, then we'll see where this is going

2018-03-08 00:14:08 UTC  

NM will stay blue, definitely.

2018-03-08 00:14:41 UTC  

@Den had a theory that the rural hispanics voted R, wasn't sure of that

New pic

2018-03-08 00:16:02 UTC  

Might go a little too far

2018-03-08 00:16:03 UTC  

Works well

2018-03-08 00:16:11 UTC  

Well, is it accurate?

2018-03-08 00:17:01 UTC  

Anyways, this little town in NM is a microcosm of that theory. An example. Maybe there's a better chance of turning the tides over there than we think.

2018-03-08 00:17:10 UTC  

you know why Lamb is trending?

2018-03-08 00:17:12 UTC  

Simple

2018-03-08 00:17:19 UTC  

it's an old Democrat trick

2018-03-08 00:17:27 UTC  

"Republicans will cut your social security"

2018-03-08 00:17:33 UTC  

oldest trick in the book

2018-03-08 00:17:35 UTC  

^

2018-03-08 00:17:39 UTC  

works like magic

2018-03-08 00:17:42 UTC  

and because it's true

2018-03-08 00:18:19 UTC  

Republicans keep using the same old talking points

2018-03-08 00:18:23 UTC  

"STRONG MILITARY"

2018-03-08 00:18:29 UTC  

"LOWER TAXES"

2018-03-08 00:18:35 UTC  

"FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY"

2018-03-08 00:18:39 UTC  

It's seriously bent against him obviously; he opposes funding for cracking down on illegals but isn't against it per se; he supports a $1.1 trillion infra program funded by tax hikes; he claims that Republicans will cut SS/Medicare/Medicaid; he wants a student loan debt amnesty and he wants to implement a graduate tax to pay for free college for all; he wants mandatory union membership to be implemented; he wants to tax coal businesses to extinction and jack up petrol and NG taxes.

2018-03-08 00:18:57 UTC  

You're right, they've got to appeal to the constituency more

2018-03-08 00:19:10 UTC  

How to win Republican votes as a Republican:

2018-03-08 00:19:21 UTC  

The dems know demographic manipulation.

2018-03-08 00:19:42 UTC  

He opposes the Hyde Amendment which I estimate which more than double federal abortion funding from its current lows to over a billion dollars, and he hasn't endorsed Trump's plan to treat vets with PTSD for free.

2018-03-08 00:19:47 UTC  

"BUILD THE WALL"
"DEPORT ILLEGALS"
"END NAFTA"

2018-03-08 00:20:19 UTC  

And he supports mandatory contraceptive coverage, but only federal subsidies for abortion-covering insurance (openly)

2018-03-08 00:20:26 UTC  

But Republicans won't say these things, because, well, their Business Conservative base wouldn't like that

2018-03-08 00:20:37 UTC  

It's kinda obvious he'd vote for expanding it to abortion though.

2018-03-08 00:20:48 UTC  

If Trump wants this seat, hopefully he'll focus very hard on the economic nationalism and immigration hardlining.
