Congrats Javier Sanchez!

um

no sweetie!

A local election is not worth getting excited over

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

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

B A S E D

Not what I'm getting at

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

NM will stay blue, definitely.

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

Might go a little too far

Works well

Well, is it accurate?

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.

you know why Lamb is trending?

Simple

it's an old Democrat trick

"Republicans will cut your social security"

oldest trick in the book

^

works like magic

and because it's true

Republicans keep using the same old talking points

"STRONG MILITARY"

"LOWER TAXES"

"FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY"

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.

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

How to win Republican votes as a Republican:

The dems know demographic manipulation.

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.

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

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

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

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

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