Hey, anyone want to bet that The FP editorial decision making by Oliver Wiseman will decide that today's bombshell news that the Biden-Harris Admin has WILLFULLY AND PURPOSEFULLY let in 425,000 criminals into our country illegally, including 15K murderers and 13K rapists?
How about, Oliver? You gonna decide this isn't news The FP should cover? I bet you will, you spineless Leftist propagandist.
"Earlier in the day, she said, she realized her family of five—that’s her, her fiancé, and their three kids—were out of groceries, so she picked up some milk and eggs at a CVS around the corner.
“Seventeen dollars,” she said. “Can you believe that?”
Things didn’t feel this hard to her under Trump, "
For the 1000000th time, Trump didn't have jack-all to do with the price of eggs and milk in 2019 anymore than Biden does in 2024. Would it be too much to explain to these folks that voting for Trump in 2024 is not pressing a "2019 Prices" reset button?? Or do we just go along with that and pretend that Trump "created" the economic conditions people remember (and often confuse with the COVID economy - the $2 gas prices for example), and not bother telling them either that Trump's proposed across the board 20-60% tariffs will raise prices on just about every product on the shelves by about that much?
Also, enough with the kvetching about grocery prices. If you buy your milk and eggs at CVS, for five people, you're paying a premium price for perishable goods at a drugstore, no shit they cost more. If you buy this stuff at a grocery store, a dozen eggs in my local King Soopers are between $3-$4 a carton. A gallon of milk is between $3-$4. What were the prices in 2019 - probably about the fucking same, give or take. Eggs did go up in price a couple years ago because of bird flu, not "Biden". They've fallen since. I'm sorry but I'm sick and tired of the increasingly out of whack inflation perspectives and this being an excuse to vote for Trump - who is running a campaign promising to raise prices on purpose, but apparently that's a bit too much for any reporter to even introduce into the conversation whenever it comes up - especially if they're coming form an outlet that for reasons I cannot fathom seems to be spoiling for a Trump win, evident in every slanted article highlighting on voters with negative attitudes about the Democrats and "quiet" Trump support, hardly being able to find, it seems, a single Harris voter in a 60% Democratic county from 2020. Or maybe just cherry picking which ones make the article to create a different impression HMMM.
"But I would rather this country be run by someone who knows what they’re doing and is responsible.”
I told her that sounds like a Trump vote, but she corrected me. "
Yeah, pretty much "someone who knows what they're doing and is responsible" does not sound like "Donald Trump" to me lol, nice fishing expedition though!
Trump used Quanitative Easing to avoid raising taxes on the super rich yet still provide tax money to rich and poor as well as everyone in between to get through the Pandemic quarantine. Unfortunately the consequence has been rising grocery prices which impact heavily on Latino Americans but not the well to do like me. Will you be able to explain this complicated topic to the average American, white, Latino, Black and other?
The Fed used quantitative easing to recover from the 2008 banking debacle. The Fed is not controlled by an administration. Quantitative easing actually began during the Obama administration and only finished in 2022. The amount of money flooded into the economy has certainly impacted prices, mainly if I understand it correctly, in areas such as the commercial real estate sector which then got whacked by all the forced shut downs during Covid, which exacerbated the problem, etc
Tim Walz must have gone to Kamala's school of public speaking. “We have a saying in Minnesota—we all do better when we all do better.” Kamala: "The children of the community are the children of the community." I have hope that more Latinos will recognize the vaccuous rhetoric of these two empty suits.
Again the dishonesty and gaslighting is unprecedented. To have an event to emphasize Latinos and barely have Latinos in the crowd is lame and dishonest, did they think the Anglo “ringers” would not be noticed? Did they pay these people to show up?
You might ask yourself if this campaign cannot even set up events in certain communities and then not even get a turnout, how are they going to run the federal government?
If the MSM was doing their job properly this candidate would be getting a lot of negative reporting based on not communicating any real plans. They should be doing one of two things: either reporting that she continues to dodge them and not speak about the issues or boycotting the campaign until they have something susbstantive to report. All “interviews” should be prefaced with the publicizing of position papers stating exactly what the candidate has planned for specific issues. This campaign reflects the same tone deafness that the current administration has. The inability to solve any problems, state any potential solutions while they speak about “joyful” nonsense. The disrespectful lies fed to us appears like a severe cognitive dissonance but is actually a propaganda driven poorly led scam.
Why vote for the same as the last 4 years ? These people like most are having a tough time paying for grocery's so they are still on the fence , do the polls reflect them hell no. In the next month will things shake out , time will tell .
This was written well as a report should , I wish there was more even reporting for republicans as it seems for Dems , TFP needs to work on that a lot ! Also there was no real comparing Harris to Trump ideas / policy's as in would effect Hispanic ? OK I get it Harris has no real policy's but still shouldn't there be some back and forth why not ?
You mean clearer , in that he always talked in terms of lowering taxes which is something that goes right to you pocket and then simulates the economy in many ways , that then causes people to pay more taxes which lowers the deficit which lowers inflation etc . It does work that way , but many miss that effect .
Biden gave the COVID money to GOV's not the people, also he raised gas/energy prices which has a huge effect on inflation because everything uses energy and thus our real problem is energy prices. Trump has said he wants to lower energy costs by getting rid of GOV limits on energy production in the US. This worked before and will work again .
There is some of that , but All the people I have talked with seem to be like the people interviewed a bit confused but leaning to something different , fool me once shame on you , fool me twice shame on me .
The Hispanic Americans are diverse and all over the map politically speaking. Kamala Harris is highly unlikely to get many votes from Cuban Americans, for example, the majority of whom are firmly conservative and pro-Trump. They have direct experience of Socialism and Communism, after all.
For that matter, so do many others fleeing here from Venezuela and Argentina, but those countries have swung between dictatorial capitalism and populist socialism.
It's interesting that the Biden Administration, even while welcoming hordes of unvetted brown skinned people over the open border, has scrupulously turned back boatloads of Cuban refugees fleeing genuine oppression. It should be noted that if they are forced back to Cuba's shores, they will almost certainly be arrested and possibly executed. No skin off Biden and Harris's noses, of course; every Cuban eliminated means one less Republican voter.
A final point to consider: although Hispanics other than Cubans vote overwhelmingly for Democrat candidates, as do most Blacks, the American-born children of Hispanic immigrants tend to behave more like mainstream non-Black Americans. In 2016, exit polls indicated that 50% of fluent-English Hispanics voted for Trump, even though 70-80% of all Hispanics voted Hillary. As they assimilate, we can assume that Hispanics will naturally gravitate toward more right wing leadership, reflecting their religious and socially conservative roots.
I was wondering the same thing. Even for a family of 5, that sounds 2 or 3 times more expensive than it should be. I'll bet she forgot to mention the hair conditioner, toothpaste, and pharma co-pay.
I could walk to the Whole Foods by me right now and buy products both for under $6 total. Maybe she shouldn't be choosing the free range, humanely raised, artisan, Stanley Tumbler special edition eggs endorsed by Taylor Swift.
It's past time to stop considering Latinos as a voting bloc. They are incredibly diverse hailing from many different countries. They are of every race: white, black, brown. Some speak only English, some only Spanish, some both. Just having a connection to a Spanish-speaking country in no way unifies you into a voting bloc that can be swayed as a group. Courting the Latino vote in 2024 is as dumb as courting the Italian-American vote or Scandinavian-American vote. Excepting the very recently immigrated, Latinos are as absorbed into the US as any other past immigrant, demographic group. It's time to drop the category altogether as far as politics is concerned
Everything you said is true, however, if calling yourself "Latino" makes you part of a protected class it's an incentive to vote for the party that's rewarding that class.
By 2050 they will be the majority in this country. The impact is currently unfathomable. Will they support reparations to Black America? What happens when white progressives lose their power? At the same time, Black America, who represent about only 14% of the population today, will still only represent about 14% of the population then. All other minority populations will have increased their percentage of the American population.
At that point, white Democrats will become irrelevant. All those white privileged Americans will find out what it means to be powerless. Which doesn't mean it won't happen to the Republicans also. I'm pretty sure those figures have not taken into account our current influx of illegals. Democrats slitting their own throats.
Americans of Mexican heritage are the new Americans of Irish descent. Mexicans are not the same as other people from other Spanish speaking lands. Argentinians and Uruguayans are European, Dominicans are very mixed. Ta liking about their vote is like talking about the “Celtic vote.” They will not affect the balance much of the nation
Hispanics will be a larger plurality than the Blacks but it's not likely they'll outnumber non-Hispanic whites, unless 3-4 million keep coming over the border for the next twenty-five years.
The US Census projects that by the year 2060, non-Hispanic whites will be 44.3% of the population; Hispanics will be 27.5%, and non-Hispanic Blacks 15%.
I'm a mid-40s, white, straight, married male. To be honest, part of me can't wait until I'm the minority ... constantly hearing how we're the 'root of all evil' is exhausting. All the minorities can take all the power and see how it feels getting blamed for a bit.
We'll still be blamed because of the mess they inherited from us. Politicians will never change. If race baiting and not accepting responsibility still wins votes we will still be the bogeyman.
Hispanics are "white adjacent" to borrow UC Berkeley wording. As they assimilate, fluent-English Hispanics come to resemble non-Hispanic Whites in their values and voting patterns. I believe in 2060, the combination of assimilated Hispanics and native Whites will be 70% of the country, and thus the essential character of the U.S. will not have changed that much. In fact it will likely have become more conservative, because conservatives tend to raise more kids.
By the way, if you throw in the 9% who are Asians in 2060 but who generally resemble moderate Whites in voting patterns and lifestyle, the mainstream moderate population will be pushing 80%. What's more, the population will be older by then, meaning more conservative by definition.
"Just having a connection to a Spanish-speaking country in no way unifies you into a voting bloc."
EXCEPT: Many of these folks did/are *fleeing* countries that have swung widely left/socialist/marxist, and are now suffering for it. So, while I agree with the basic premise of your point - educating these folks about (who here in America) have similar political aspirations to those of the countries they fled - could absolutely have vast political power in the future.....
Among the crucial mistakes Democrats made in Texas in the last 50 years was taking the Hispanic vote for granted. There were some cynical moves to run surnames against Rick Perry and Greg Abbott, all of which failed spectacularly, but otherwise the state party machine has followed the national party to the left. This has alienated regions of the state with high Hispanic populations. Like the interviewees in this piece, economic issues are paramount, and the D's hostility to the oil and gas industry is among the concerns raised by these voters. In 2020, eight Hispanic-majority counties, all but one in South Texas, flipped to Trump. Democrats should be very concerned, and trotting out surname celebrities ain't going to cut it.
"But I’m telling you, there needs to be more effort when it comes to the Latino community. My belief is that the Latino community is still undecided.”
More effort? How so? Why not put some effort into making cities safer. In New York City, Latinos are our cab drivers, bodega workers, and so on, and they regularly get assaulted and robbed by the local talent.
Increasingly, they are also our cops, and they see what's going on.
If progressives insist on defending the bad behavior of the local talent, they'll lose the Hispanic vote.
I remember from a couple of years ago when black teenagers -- in their early teens, mind you -- were having a fight aboard a city bus, and one pulled out a gun and fired, killing a Latino guy on his way home from work. As the obits usually go, "he leaves behind a wife and children." And so he did.
That sort of thing happens in Philadelphia too. I hope Walt and Harris think about it.
“Julissa Irizarry, a 30-year-old Puerto Rican, told me she has never felt poorer—Things didn’t feel this hard to her under Trump, she said, but at the same time, she can’t stand the way the former president talks about women. She was especially offended by his comment that E. Jean Carroll, a former advice columnist who successfully sued Trump for sexual assault, wasn’t his “type.”
There’s something doubly disturbing about Julissa’s comment. First she ignores the fact that Carroll couldn’t remember the time or place she was allegedly assaulted yet a corrupt NYC judge still awarded her a half billion dollar in her civil lawsuit against Trump. Worse is the fact that she and other women like her would rather live off refried beans than vote for Trump.
When Trump takes things to a personal level instead of focusing on the policies, he continues to muddy the waters of his own campaign message. What Julissa Irizarry is expressing is also frustration with a candidate that may be the best hope, but says and posts the most hapless things.
Why when Swift stated that she supported Harris did Trump not point out that the price of eggs, safety on public transportation, etc are not a billionaire concerns, but are the concerns of millions of working people who vote? Trump has done 2017 tax & job act and will do..... instead he does the "I don't like her....".
Trump is the superior candidate in this race but he keeps getting in his way to victory.
Isn't it interesting that Trump's female detractors never focus on the women he does like or how his policies benefit women? I think that says more about them than than the words he speaks. It also says that nothing he does or doesn't say will get their vote.
Agree, that there are voters who will never vote for Trump based on an issue that may say a lot more about the voter.
But isn't a campaign about the vote and using every opportunity to explain why you are the best choice for the job? Frustrated that Trump should run a focused winning campaign and not provide an opportunity to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Trump will be Trump. He was like this in 2015, in 2016, in 2020... everyone just puts up with it because we know he'll hire superior talent to help him steer the country toward prosperity and peace.
Dicho en español o dicho en inglés; da igual—Lo importante es la economía. Mi gente hispanoparlante lo saben de sobra, y si Dios quiere, votarán con su billetero en la mente. Un voto para Harris es un voto para una economía y un país similar al de que se han ido corriendo; puede ser que no es su candidato preferido, pero es la única otra opción—Trump.
Hay otras cosas importantes que solo sus billeteros por los Latinos. Todos los Latinos son inmigrantes y cuando Trump dice "Ellos comen las mascotas!" el es hablando sobre ti, inmigrantes en general.
Primero, entiendo lo que quiere usted decir, pero solo porque soy bilingüe. Hay que refinar su gramática española. Y en referencia a su comentario; por su puesto hay más cosas de interés y muy importantes, pero no solo para los hispano parlantes (que por cierto, muchos no son inmigrantes, sino estadounidenses que provienen de un estado libre asociado). Los Inmigrantes, que sean hispano parlantes o no, siempre estarán bienvenidos cuando entran legalmente en los EEUU.
Primero, no es necesario por mi insultas. Obvio español no es mi primero idioma. Yo sé no puedo escribir o hablar perfecto. Estoy aprendiendo y puedes entender. Eso es bien para mi. Podemos tener diferencias de políticas sin insultos.
Segundo, mientras deseo que fuera verdad, hay mucha mucha gente en esta país que nunca darán bienvenida porque son racistas. Eso es la verdad triste. La gente de Haití en Springfield son legal pero tú viste/eschuaste que Trump dijo.
Perhaps we might understand one another better if we write in a language comfortable for both. No insults intended. Since the article is in reference to the Spanish speaking communities of the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, I think it best to refer to those folks whose vote is so desirable to both parties. Many come from unstable communities outside of the United States. We must assume that they have come to Pennsylvania for economic opportunity; it’s certainly not for the weather or a glamorous life in the keystone state. I do believe that financial opportunities must be a driving factor for staying in Pennsylvania, and after 4 years of Bidenomics, I think we can all agree that chances for betterment in the financial realm are diminishing or have disappeared under the current administration , of which Harris is high ranking member. A vote for Harris is a vote for the continuation of current economic policies. Spanish speaking members of the community are not ignorant, they simply speak a different language. And although Trump might not be a perfect candidate, under his past administration the country remained economically stable. I would hope and do believe that the fiercely sought after Hispanic/latino demographic voter has the good sense to realize the importance and weight of their decision; and will vote for the candidate offering an economic change—Trump.
I was actually eager to practice in Spanish haha my wife is from Colombia and I have a tutor as well.
The Trump Admin track record of the economy is superior to the Biden/Harris. Any arguments to the contrary are mostly bull. But all it comes down to for those voters is what they weigh more I suppose.
Hey, anyone want to bet that The FP editorial decision making by Oliver Wiseman will decide that today's bombshell news that the Biden-Harris Admin has WILLFULLY AND PURPOSEFULLY let in 425,000 criminals into our country illegally, including 15K murderers and 13K rapists?
How about, Oliver? You gonna decide this isn't news The FP should cover? I bet you will, you spineless Leftist propagandist.

Hey that is my hometown and that rally was held at my high school!
The woman complaining about the $17 price for milk and eggs should try shopping at Wal-mart or Kroger rather than CVS!

In
other words, more non-Hispanic
Whites are projected to die than
will be born. Nonetheless, non-
Hispanic Whites are projected
to remain the single largest race
group throughout the next 40
years. Beginning in 2045, how-
ever, they are no longer projected
to make up the majority of the
U.S. population
This is correct.

First she ignores the fact that Carroll couldn’t remember the time or place she was allegedly assaulted yet a corrupt NYC judge still awarded her a half billion dollar in her civil lawsuit against Trump. Worse is the fact that she and other women like her would rather live off refried beans than vote for Trump.
When Trump takes things to a personal level instead of focusing on the policies, he continues to muddy the waters of his own campaign message. What Julissa Irizarry is expressing is also frustration with a candidate that may be the best hope, but says and posts the most hapless things.
Why when Swift stated that she supported Harris did Trump not point out that the price of eggs, safety on public transportation, etc are not a billionaire concerns, but are the concerns of millions of working people who vote? Trump has done 2017 tax & job act and will do..... instead he does the "I don't like her....".
Trump is the superior candidate in this race but he keeps getting in his way to victory.
Exactly. He is his own worst enemy.
"instead he does the "I don't like her....".
Isn't it interesting that Trump's female detractors never focus on the women he does like or how his policies benefit women? I think that says more about them than than the words he speaks. It also says that nothing he does or doesn't say will get their vote.
Agree, that there are voters who will never vote for Trump based on an issue that may say a lot more about the voter.
But isn't a campaign about the vote and using every opportunity to explain why you are the best choice for the job? Frustrated that Trump should run a focused winning campaign and not provide an opportunity to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Trump will be Trump. He was like this in 2015, in 2016, in 2020... everyone just puts up with it because we know he'll hire superior talent to help him steer the country toward prosperity and peace.
Hire people who know more than you. Surround yourself with experts for the stuff you're not an expert on. That's what any businessman/woman will do.
And take their good advice and run with it!
Dicho en español o dicho en inglés; da igual—Lo importante es la economía. Mi gente hispanoparlante lo saben de sobra, y si Dios quiere, votarán con su billetero en la mente. Un voto para Harris es un voto para una economía y un país similar al de que se han ido corriendo; puede ser que no es su candidato preferido, pero es la única otra opción—Trump.
Hay otras cosas importantes que solo sus billeteros por los Latinos. Todos los Latinos son inmigrantes y cuando Trump dice "Ellos comen las mascotas!" el es hablando sobre ti, inmigrantes en general.
Primero, entiendo lo que quiere usted decir, pero solo porque soy bilingüe. Hay que refinar su gramática española. Y en referencia a su comentario; por su puesto hay más cosas de interés y muy importantes, pero no solo para los hispano parlantes (que por cierto, muchos no son inmigrantes, sino estadounidenses que provienen de un estado libre asociado). Los Inmigrantes, que sean hispano parlantes o no, siempre estarán bienvenidos cuando entran legalmente en los EEUU.
Primero, no es necesario por mi insultas. Obvio español no es mi primero idioma. Yo sé no puedo escribir o hablar perfecto. Estoy aprendiendo y puedes entender. Eso es bien para mi. Podemos tener diferencias de políticas sin insultos.
Segundo, mientras deseo que fuera verdad, hay mucha mucha gente en esta país que nunca darán bienvenida porque son racistas. Eso es la verdad triste. La gente de Haití en Springfield son legal pero tú viste/eschuaste que Trump dijo.
Perhaps we might understand one another better if we write in a language comfortable for both. No insults intended. Since the article is in reference to the Spanish speaking communities of the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, I think it best to refer to those folks whose vote is so desirable to both parties. Many come from unstable communities outside of the United States. We must assume that they have come to Pennsylvania for economic opportunity; it’s certainly not for the weather or a glamorous life in the keystone state. I do believe that financial opportunities must be a driving factor for staying in Pennsylvania, and after 4 years of Bidenomics, I think we can all agree that chances for betterment in the financial realm are diminishing or have disappeared under the current administration , of which Harris is high ranking member. A vote for Harris is a vote for the continuation of current economic policies. Spanish speaking members of the community are not ignorant, they simply speak a different language. And although Trump might not be a perfect candidate, under his past administration the country remained economically stable. I would hope and do believe that the fiercely sought after Hispanic/latino demographic voter has the good sense to realize the importance and weight of their decision; and will vote for the candidate offering an economic change—Trump.
I was actually eager to practice in Spanish haha my wife is from Colombia and I have a tutor as well.
The Trump Admin track record of the economy is superior to the Biden/Harris. Any arguments to the contrary are mostly bull. But all it comes down to for those voters is what they weigh more I suppose.
Claro que si.
