Trump flipped five overwhelmingly Hispanic border counties despite bipartisan claims his rhetoric would alienate them



President Trump flipped five Hispanic majority Texas counties during the 2020 election, including a 94% Hispanic county that hadn’t voted for a Republican since 1920.

Trump's gains in Hispanic counties were not limited to the five he flipped. Twelve other majority-Hispanic counties that Hillary Clinton overwhelmingly won in 2016 saw Trump make double-digit gains in 2020. Clinton won Starr County, which has a 96.4% Hispanic population, by 60.2 points in 2016. Trump lost Starr county by only 5 points in 2020, a whopping 55.2 point swing. Maverick County, a 95.1% Hispanic county Clinton won by 55.8 points in 2016, went to presumed President-elect Joe Biden by just 9.4 points — a 46.4 point swing toward Trump.

Something which bothers me:

It's become pretty common these days for media outlets reporting on such matters as death-by-tweet, to refer to whatever the accused had actually said or written merely as "offensive comments" or "an attack upon..." and never actually report the actual thing which was said.

That leaves people like me, who don't vigilantly monitor Twitter, having no idea what statements were actually made. Their expurgation means that they are effectively gone from history, and we can only rely upon the assertion of the gatekeepers that they were, in fact, sufficiently horrendous as to justify the cancellation of the alleged offender.

Only a fascist would do that. And we know that Democrats are not fascists.

AOC wants to cancel those who worked for Trump. Good luck with that, they say.

No worries, I'm sure a little objective journalism should be able to sort the truth in short order. Oh wait . . . :rolleyes:

I guess when you're in his position, there's really no downside to further doubling-down on that message.

There's only two people in the country that don't realize that Joe Biden stole the election. One is Joe Biden, the other is a member of this forum.

True or maybe it was given to him. Either way he was not the peoples choice and not the best for the country.

He's not the president-elect, yet...

LeoNA 11-12-2020 02:00 PM

I know. I'm just a bit pessimistic. Maybe Trump is lucky if he has to sit out a term. I believe we will have a recession and biden will be lost. He and obama where the do nothing crew completely incompetent then and now. Biden is too old and will be that much worse in 4yrs. I doubt he will be the dnc's nomination in 2024. If Trump runs again he would easily win.

What are you smoking? He won the popular vote by over 5 million votes. If that is not the peoples choice then what are you talking about.

Braineack 11-12-2020 02:10 PM

problem is votes :ne: people who voted.

unless you believe governments are perfect, without fraud and abuse -- especially when implementing a last-minute easily manipulated method of voting without audit or error checking...

cause the fed itself didn't mail 1.1 million stimulus checks to dead people or anything [only recovering about 70% of it] ...
