[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the mid-2000s Democrats concluded that they should begin pandering to Latinos as demographics were expected to favor them in the near future. Previously, Democrats were big supporters of building fences and border security. After the mid 2000s, they shifted course and started to push for amnesty and suddenly opposed walls or fences, while implying that the very concept was racist. [b]Their mistake was assuming that most Latinos personally identify with illegal immigrants. [/b]They also overestimated the decline of white voters and the growth or Latino voters. Another mistake was not foreseeing that white voters are disproportionately in battleground states, where big losses in white votes far outweighs the minor gains in Latino votes in other states.[/quote] +1 Lots of mistakes on the part of Democrats. The bolded, in particular, is a mistake they still don't seem to "get". [/quote]
