Not directed at any specific comment but since its one of the thread topics…

What a difference a decade makes. I can remember in 2000 how fired up rank and file Republicans were about making inroads with Hispanics. They talked about what an asset it was to have GWB as a nominee in that regard, that it was great that Jeb Bush had an articulate son with an Hispanic heritage and on and on.

If you wanted a case study in how to alienate a critical voting block, you would study how those Republican aspirations fell victim to Tancredo-esque demagoguery in less than a decade.
