Interesting point of view. I once had a secretary who was from Puerto Rico who made it very clear to some Mexican patients, she was not Mexican.

I was never aware of the separation that exists out there.

Do you have an opinion as to percentages based on that? (what percentage of the “Hispanic” voting block might diverge?

Sorry, I have no opinion because I don’t agree with the hypothesis that all spanish speakers vote one way or another. There’s a lot of diversity amongst us, including ethnic, economic, educational, and based on the condition in the countries we emigrated from, and WHEN people emigrated.

For example, I met Cubans in the USA who were pro-Castro wealthy landowners when Castro first took over Cuba. After Castro appropriated everyone’s property, they got the picture and became anti-Castro, escaped Cuba with NOTHING, and are now GOP stalwarts who worked hard in America and became wealthy again.

Some poorer Latino folks are raised on Marxist dogma in their original countries, and are willing to believe leftist Unions and democrats in this country that promise the same empty promises these people heard in their old countries. “We will spread the wealth around”.
