I think that is not true across the board. People are complex. I know some second and even some first generation Latinos that are very supportive of Trump and his immigration policies. It is true that no Republican Presidential candidate has ever won a majority of the Latino vote, I think GW Bush peaked at about 35%. In contrast, Republican candidates have done very poorly with African American vote since Barry Goldwater ran in 1964. Shortly before the Republican Convention, he voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which Johnson championed and signed into law. Goldwater said that he considered desegregation a states' rights issue, rather than a national policy, and believed the 1964 act to be unconstitutional. Goldwater's vote against the legislation helped cause African-Americans to overwhelmingly support Johnson. Nonwhite vote Eisenhower 21% in 1952. Eisenhower 39% in 1956. Nixon 32% in 1960. Goldwater 6% in 1964. Nixon 12% in 1968. Nixon 13% in 1972. Ford 15% in 1976 Reagan 10% in 1980 Reagan 13% in 1984 Bush H 18% in 1988 Bush H 11% in 1992 Dole 12% in 1996 starting in 2000 the Gallup polls started distinguishing Black and Latino In 1960 Kennedy won the black vote in most areas by wide margins, and this may have provided his margin of victory in states such as New Jersey, South Carolina, Illinois, and Missouri. The 1960 election was so close that the female vote, the Mexican-American vote, and the black vote all have credible claims to making JFK the president. |

I'm the rare liberal that believes Juanita Broaddrick. I think he probably raped Juanita. I also think it's extremely sketchy that Clinton socializes privately with Jeffrey Epstein. Even if Clinton's friendship with Epstein is 100% innocent, (I'm skeptical) it's really really weird that Clinton would want to be seen with him, considering Clinton's background with Lewinsky. Perhaps Clinton flies on Epstein's airplane because Clinton is a cheapskate who likes free air travel, but surely Clinton has other options: he must know dozens of billionaires with airplanes that aren't routinely used to transport underage teenage girls. This video footage of Al Gore discussing Broaddrick is... uncomfortable. |

| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 148 Posts: 25978 | Did anybody see the three major Lib networks tear Ronan Farrow and his female buddy up on the morning shows? They grilled them relentlessly on how full of holes the story they had in The New Yorker is. They must be realizing how out of bounds this whole fake news smear campaign on Kavanaugh has gotten. And Avanatti has run for hills and locked his Twitter account. The roaches scatter when light is shined on them.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I saw that one coming. They all learn the hard way.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
