Maybe Latino support of Trump is up, not because of support of the wall, but because of the shutdown.

All those ICE officers not getting paid, hearings delayed and rescheduled, other things falling through the cracks.


How would that be a negative for a legal latino?

Actually that is the kind of statement liberals would claim is "racist" if a conservative said it.

So you are saying that 66% of latinos voted against him but that has fallen to 58%?


In 2016, 28% of Latinos voted for Trump. In the 2019 PBS/NPR/Marist survey, 27% said they'd definitely vote for Trump in 2020. But it kinda depends on who the Democrats nominate in 2020, don't ya think?

Latinos are disproportionately located in liberal states.


Texas is a liberal state? Texas has 11.1 million Latinos. Arizona is a liberal state? 2 million Latinos live in Arizona. Florida is a liberal state? 4.3 million Latinos live in Florida. Those 3 states account for 50% the Latino population in the U.S.

Nasty or frugal? Key Democrats out to stop House members from living in offices.

Hard to see why they have a problem with this. Could just be a money-grab for themselves disguised as paying everyone more to live. I do say I would probably bunk in my office to save on DC rent.

All this talk about latino support for trump reminded me of another poll that was released this week -
"Poll: Trump Approval Down, Slips With Base"

https://www.npr.org/2019/01/17/685539207/poll-trump-approval-down-slips-with-base

numbers are in percent difference in net approval (approve minus disapprove) from Dec 2018 to Jan 2019,

one full example of what that means
white women without a college degree:
Dec 54% approve, 34% disapprove = net +20
Jan 43% approve, 47% disapprove, = net -4
-4 net jan - 20 net dec = -24 net change, which are the numbers below:

Overall -7
Republicans -10
White men without a college degree -7
White evangelicals -13
Suburban men -18
White women without a college degree -24

No big deal as we know those darn white women will just vote how their man tells them to vote!

Meanwhile the Democrats have a woman running who compared ICE to the KKK. And a bunch of others who are trying to figure out how to have a tax rate >100%.

Keep wasting your time with polls form liberal "news" outlets.

This Covington kids story has to be
the stupidest thing I've seen in the
last year. Some kid in a MAGA hat
stares down an Indian activist and
the world goes crazy.

We see the whole video and the
kids were the ones being harassed.
I guarantee if this was a Lib kid
being stared down by a Right
wing activist, he'd be in jail for
some kind of child threatening.

This is right up there with 'Hands
up don't shoot!" Those words
were never said, instead the kid
was trying to wrestle the gun away
from the cop.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Limbaugh made a few good point about this today. Libs are going nuts because it has been two years and Trump is still around, and his supporters still support him. They thought he would not have the guts to even show at the debates. They thought he would quit before the inauguration. The "pee tape" was supposed to bring him down. "Russia" was supposed to bring him down. Two years and every last Russia story has come to nothing. Two years AND THE GUY IS STILL HERE!

With this kid the media showed why Rush gave them the nickname "drive-bys." Fake story brings threats of violence. Destroying lives. Media then is like, "uh, sorry. In other news, Trump does.........."

Meanwhile Pelosi has to carter to her wackadoodle base to keep her job. Can you imagine if a Republican disinvited Obama to SOTU? Even during impeachment the GOP invited Clinton. (SCOTUS Boycotted as a group.) Trump has offered pretty much everything they want. Dems wanted a wall a few years ago. Check. Action on so-called "dreamers." Check. More money for immigration courts. Check. But she will not even talk!

I think it is safe to say the Democrats have not been this hostile to a GOP POTUS since Lincoln. (When they fought tooth and nail to keep their slaves.)

If you associate Democrats with slavery why do you keep representing the wrong flag symbol as your avatar on the other site?
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Hardly any mention of the other group that said harsh things around the kids ? The media must have missed or dismissed that entirely?

The last time I saw Dems this hostile was during the Nixon Admin
