Latinos usually move right in midterms with a dem in office and LEFT when a republican is in office.

They went from 44% Gop Support in 2004 to 29 In 06.

They went from 31% GOP support in 08 to 38% in 2010.

They went from 27% GOP support in 2012 to 36% in 14.

It's not Trump. Ronald Reagan ran better with latino voters than Trump.

So did George W Bush.

Reagan won 37 and 35% latino support.

Bush won 35 and 44%

Trump won 28 and 32%

I advise you to take a look at the last 50 years of voting.

2012 black men 87-11 dem
2016 black men 82-13 dem
2020 black men 79-19 dem

2012: white women 56-42 GOP

2016: white women 52-43 GOP

2020: White women 55-44 GOP Image Let's do Midterms:

White women 58-39 GOP in 2010

White women 56-42 GOP in 2014

White women 49-49 SPLIT (Thats the best I can hope for today out that bloc ) in 2018.

You either buy it or you don't.

It's that simple.

African Americans historically pay more for EVERYTHING Image This is our reality:

Do the same thing caucasisans do with less money.

TWITTER.

DOESN'T.

MATTER.

too many smart people believes otherwise.

ABC CBS and NBC morning and evening news shows have MORE influence than twitter. I DONT SEE twitter as a news source in this pew poll.

FOX is the number one trusted source for white voters in America.

ABC CBS and NBC is second third and fourth.

CNN rounds out the top five. Image

Russia isn't why Hillary lost in 2016.

Lack of white support was the number one reason.

She won enough latino and African American support to win.

You can't win being at the lowest white support for a dem since Walter mondale. Obama won 48% 44% and 42% white support (44.6% avg) in WI MI and PA carrying them by a 972k vote margin.

Hillary won 42% 36% and 40% white support (39.3%) average and lost them by 77k votes.

1. Black folks weren't fully included in democracy so.....

2. as long as white folks can vote "democracy" in America will continue.

3. You can't steal what isn't close. If dems blow the GOP away in WI MI and PA they win in 2024. This steal the election bit from the GOP isn't new.... They can't do it when dems kick their asses like bill Clinton and Barack Obama did. They only try win the E.C. vote is close like 2000 and 2020.

Let's see what white voters Latino and asian voters do.

If it looks like 2014, Biden with nothing but a veto pen.

If it looks like 2018 The GOP and Dems are in a DOGFIGHT. ImageImage If democrats are LOSING white voters under 30 like 2014, gonna be a long night.

If they are winning them like 18 that's a good sign. ImageImage

Egor shotgun need to stay parked in every union hall in the state of PA the rest of the way.

He cannot LOSE union households to OZ or McCormick and win that seat.

Put on your Carhart Hoodie or west side connection dickie khaki shirt and Get to it. The top two is what PA looked like when Obama won Union households and voters WITHOUT a college degree.

The bottom two is what it looks like when dems lose union households and voters without a four year degree.

He carried his franchise to a finals like those other guys.

It's not his fault This guy blocked him from winning a ring.

The knicks and the Bulls played in 89 91 92 93 94 and 96.... And lost every year Mj was there.

That's not Ewing Fault all by himself. The Knicks had The Rockets in the brink of elimination heading back to Houston in the finals.

This guy decided not to make shots game 7.

2/18.... All he had to do was match Ewing's 7/17 and the knicks win it all.

When you are black you take your chances walking out the door.

I am also aware I got a better chance of being shot by someone who looks like me than a white nationalist.

As long as gun violence is a black problem no one won't raise a finger to try to solve it. A white nationalist didn't shoot my cousin with a sawed off 12 point blank in the head May 1st 2000... A black man did.

20 years old.

She hadn't begun to live yet. Image

Getting the economy opened back up 100 percent and folks vaccinated is more important than a 15.00 federal minimum wage right now.

That minimum wage battle need to be fought at the state level as well. I'm more in favor of a regional minimum wage indexed to inflation. I've paid union dues since I was 21 years old So NO PROGRESSIVE WILL LECTURE ME ABOUT GOOD WAGES AND BENEFITS.

I'm a realist.... if we had the 2009-10 Senate and house numbers I'll be LIVID about no 15.00 an hour.

We don't.

Adapt.

If we could do 2018 over again..... I would rather have Nelson win and Manchin lose.

Nelson at 50 would be much better for us. I'm STILL HOT about this shit... and dollars to donuts Manchin tanking Tanden was revenge and a message to Biden for ball busting him with a black woman .

Gotta make her what Obama was to drive white dem support down.

Going after Biden personally backfires.

Saying Harris is pushing him Looney left and using her Senate record as "evidence" will be the plan. And these DUMMIES admit it! 😂

Berners and warrenista never accepted Harris as a progressive but she's hard left.

The ticket was pounded on it last fall.

I don't like relying on republicans To get shit done..... so I put this one on Manchin.

Even if Sanders wasn't chair and brought up the tweets The GOP made clear they weren't supporting Tanden.

Manchin decided to show he has power now for the first time and a decade. As in said yesterday, Tanden will be in Biden's administration and made visible if the GOP shoot it down.

Biden can use this to show GOP hypocrisy as they pretty much sided with a man who got his account suspended for "mean tweets."
