BIDEN'S PROBLEM WITH HISPANICS:   There was a time when we automatically thought of the Democrats as the party of minorities.  They seemed, literally, to have a monopoly wherever foreign languages were spoken or hi-hop was the craze.

But no more.  Recent polling shows that many members of minority groups are getting woke, but not in the ways that the woke movement wants them to.  From Fox: 

A new Fox News poll shows President Biden is struggling to maintain support among Hispanic voters, as a panel of voters told "Fox & Friends" on Friday that inflation is driving them away from the party. 

According to the poll, only 46% of Hispanic voters currently choose Biden for president in 2024, compared to 63% of the same group in 2020. In comparison, 37% of Hispanic voters support Donald Trump for 2024, compared to 35% in 2020.

Americans for Prosperity Texas's Tina Aviles, American University graduate J.P. Villasmil and Christian author Lydia Dominguez explained why Biden is struggling with voters in the Latino community. 

Dominguez, who is also a mother and Air Force veteran, said she has noticed prices going up and that people in her community are "totally upset with what's going on."

"I see people in my community that are going out and getting second and third part-time jobs. It's incredibly sad," said Dominguez.

Aviles, a mother of seven, said she has seen a big difference in the economic policies of the Biden administration. 

"There was a time when things were just smooth and easy under some previous pro-growth economic policies. But this administration promised me a cafecito, but handed me instead a cup of Joe overflowing with inflation. And they hoped that I wouldn't notice." 

Recent graduate Villasmil said, "There were some Hispanics moving away from the Democratic Party by the end of the Trump presidency, and now they're running away." 

COMMENT:  But, of course, it's not enough that Hispanic voters are running away from Joe Biden and His Aristocrats.  What is needed is a Republican Party that is sensitive to this opening, and seizes it.   Donald Trump, with all his faults, certainly understands that.  We'll see if the others do.
