Red Wave Coming

Rio Grande district, which is 84% Hispanic, flipped red in special election last night. Mayra Flores won 51-43% in a district that went for Sleepy Joe by 4 points in 2020. That's a 12 point swing to the Rs for those (like pitch) who struggle with math. The Red Wave is coming! And perhaps more importantly, Hispanics are no longer the "guaranteed Dem votes" they've been assumed to be in the past!

If this trend holds, I wonder if we see a change in border policy.

And she's a gorgeous woman to boot.

Doubtful because they hate white people more than anything

I was not aware of that, but it appears you are correct.

Yep I saw her pic on fox last night and she is quite a hottie.

AOC esque but without the crazy eyes and horse teeth. Plus she's not a left wing radical.

Itâ€s coming.  Hispanic people come here to be a success and work.  They are not enjoying this group or groups from areas bringing in crime and other things like illegal entry.   The Dems are losing at their own game.   The Dems will panic and call for the wall to be built higher and longer.

Yeah, I'd give Flores a long hug

Yeah I saw her on Fox last night as well.  She was giving a victory speech and she had what I'm guessing was a sister in the background.  OUCH!  Good genes in that family.

And you guys wonder why I like latinas...

First GOP to win district in 150 years? Not sure how they determine this, as districts are re-mapped every 10 years.

We'll see how significant this really is.  Once again, we were told Hispanics were fed up in California too but 78% of them voted to retain Newsom in the recall election.

Yep that's the problem isn't it.

I think we've all been hopeful Hispanics would turn more conservative in their voting. The idea being that the assaults on family values and work ethic from the left would be a turn off for them. But they haven't changed much politically in a decade. We do see some very solid Hispanic conservative candidates emerging though. Maybe that will help to turn the tide eventually. Ultimately we won't see them turn more conservative until if and when they become more assimilated and have more economic success. I'm not sure of the data but I think 1st and 2nd generation Hispanics are more likely to vote Dem. So it may take generations. Like the Irish and eastern Europeans did.

When you see a dem district lose to a hispanic by about 8 points you KNOW the tide is turning.  Who wants to have high taxes, unsafe neighborhoods, high prices?  No one, no matter your ethnic makeup.    And to say or read on here how talking to some dems convinces some that this won't happen this fall in terms of the dems LOSING control of congress?  It's coming.
