What you really mean by "libtard" is that you cant stand someone disagreeing with you.
I am as liberal is anyone can get. Sorry it bothers you that I won't blindly kiss your ass, but I am a liberal.
And as far as Israel, I didn't pick on all Jews, I simply don't like Bibi, the individual.
So you don't think that shrieking hysterically over some social issues that Latinos tend to be slightly more conservative about had anything to do with pushing the Latinos toward Trump?
Maybe you should stop calling me a "libtard".
There is a geographical difference between Latinos and Hispanics. Just like American Jews DO NOT always agree with Israeli Jews. Most American Jews are liberals. I didn't say all, but most are.
I said in a prior post it is very common for those old enough during the cold war, who escaped Cuba to Miami to lean to voting Republican, but that does not make Marco Rubio the answer, anymore than Bibi is good for Israel, anymore than Trump is good for America. Please tell me you cant be that dense to not understand that.
Is it possible for Hispanics to support Trump? YES. Does that mean he is "expanding his base". NO! Not when you consider the long term history of America.
It still remains between the two parties democrats STILL have the bigger tent which is still growing at a faster pace long term.
The only argument you can make should be worded in the following, "Trump appeals to conservatives". Yes including conservative gays and conservative blacks and conservative Spanish speakers. But long term that isn't going to expand the GOP tent.
His "base" still remains middle America, rural whites as a majority.
