Democrats have a catholic apocalypse while the Republicans face a Hispanic apocalypse. Makes sense.
The Pubs are on the uptick with Hispanics. Mittens just didn't connect. Stay tuned.
Would be interesting to see a shred of evidence to that
Torie's evidence: an anecdote given to him by his gardener.
Sigh. Ah the drums shall forever beat for the rich white man's condescension and exploitation of those perhaps less fortunate meme, won't they? It fits in so seamlessly with one's world view with which they find favor. Resistance is futile.
I would have expected a lawyer to actually have read the link he is posting. Would you mind telling us, where is any evidence of that "uptick" in there?
The word "uptick" does not connote some evidence of a long term trend. I sort of used the word jocularly, suggesting that perhaps there is hope. What the exit poll showed basically was no movement, with the Pub percentage up 6% from 2012 in 2014, but that uptick occurred in 2010 as well (albeit 2010 was a bit stronger Pub year than 2014). So yes, it appears that the uptick was mostly a turnout issue, that has been discussed so much between presidential election and midterm election cycles. The Pubs did get in excess of 40% in Georgia and Texas however, suggesting to me, that Hispanics do tend to adapt somewhat to the overall political culture, as TDFB suggested occurred in rural Colorado in his most interesting post. Hope that helps.
In the exit poll, albeit with a high margin of error, the Pubs did however evenly split the Asian vote however, a big uptick and a big surprise. Go Asians!
No the Republicans didn't get 40% of the Hispanic Vote in GA or TX.
Greg Abbot got about 32% of the Hispanic Vote in the 2014 Texas Governors Race. It wasn't 40% of the Latino Vote but it was an improvement over Perry's 2010 performance with the Latino Vote where he got a mere 15% of the Latino Vote.
TX US Senate Race: John Cornyn got 30% of the Latino Vote.
GA Gov Race: Nathan Deal got about 27% of the Latino Vote.
GA US Senate Race: David Perdue got 29% of the Latino Vote.
Yes, you are right in a way about Rural Colorado in a way since Gardner about tied Udall in Pueblo County in terms Vote Percentages.
No the Republicans didn't evenly split with the Asian Vote with the Dems. The Republicans got 34% of the Asian Vote. Greg Abbott won 48% of the Asian Vote in the TX Governor's Race. Abbott was really successful in getting Asian and Hispanic Voters to vote for him.
Don't look at the usual "Regular Exit Polling" for the Asian and Hispanic Vote. Looking at the polling sites like "Asian American Decisions" or "Latino Decisions" they are much more accurate pollsters for Asian and Hispanic Voting.
