Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Yeah because Donny "grab em by the pussy" Drump has Hispanic voters best interests in mind.

they’re good people, some of them. My cleaning lady was one of them. Spotless. Worked hard. She had six kids. Great kids. Some of them might have been gangbangers I don’t know. You can never tell with those people. And that’s why we need to close the border.

There is some correlation somewhere. Some target demographic or something. Because half of my coworkers are Mexican and they all love Trump. I don't get it. Not a single one is a Democrat. The only Spanish speaking individual who is a Democrat there is Argentinian.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Last month, when he stopped at the restaurant in Phoenix, it was part of a larger swing through Arizona and Nevada — two battleground states — to tout his economic policies to the Hispanic electorate.

“President Biden’s campaign knows Latinos’ political power and is investing early and aggressively to make his case, because we won’t take their votes for granted,” Casado added.

“We should in no way be losing support with these folks while Trump is out there making outlandish statements about immigrants and Black and brown voters almost every day,” the strategist added.

“No Bueno Biden’s policies have made everything more expensive, given us a border bloodbath, and wrecked the American dream,” said Danielle Alvarez, a Trump campaign spokesperson.

In an interview with the former Brexit Party leader and television commentator Nigel Farage last month, Trump offered his own analysis: “Hispanics, very entrepreneurial people.”

But Chuck Rocha, a Democratic strategist who served as a senior adviser to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) during his bids for the presidency, said Trump is doing very little to appeal to Hispanics.


The original article contains 977 words, the summary contains 178 words. Saved 82%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
