Bottom line: It’s the economy, stupid. How I perceive the economy and how they perceive the economy are two worlds. That’s why I don’t understand it.
They don't like Republicans, so they blame Republicans for bad stuff. The same as with blacks, left liberals and other solid Democratic constituencies.
I think the reason Latinos don't vote Republican is legacy of the Southern Strategy. The GOP is dominated by old white men who like country music and don't like government programmes that benefit minorities. So long as Hispanics are a group that requires (and benefits from) affirmative action, they won't vote Republican.
