You’ve probably heard that Republican presidential candidates have blown their chance with Hispanic voters because of their hard line on immigration and other hardheadedness.
Unfortunately, too much of the conversation has been about the effect of all this on the party — about whether the GOP is condemning itself to years in the electoral wilderness by alienating an influential constituency.
What I haven’t heard enough about is how this neglect hurts Hispanic voters. In politics, the surest path to irrelevance and powerlessness is to be taken for granted by one party and written off by another. That is the road Hispanics are on now, thanks to some major blunders by the Republicans running for president.”*
