(PJ Media) In 1992 Bill Clinton won the presidency by telling Democrats to highlight pocketbook issues in the campaign. “It’s the economy, stupid,” became a catchphrase that brought Clinton and the Democrats victory.
Today, Democrats might alter that catchphrase slightly when trying to attract Laino voters; “It’s the socialism, stupid” would explain to all but the most rabid leftist that there’s a good reason why Democrats are bleeding Latino support.
“They don’t like the socialists,” Hank Sheinkopf, veteran Democratic political consultant and president of Sheinkopf Communications, told Fox News Digital about the Latino community. “They don’t like the abortion argument being thrust at them on a constant basis. They don’t like the crime. They don’t like the chaos. And they’re responding.”
Indeed, even second and third-generation Latino voters who came from Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, or other benighted socialist countries or still have family in those hell-holes know which side Republicans are on and where Democratic Party sympathies lie.
And it’s not just far-left policies. Democrats treat Latinos as voters who are concerned about one issue: immigration.
