2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumEarly Voting Numbers in AZ Look Fantastico: Hispanic Voting 2X 2012
Latinos are voting in droves in AZ. Sheriff Joe has been indicted and is on the ropes. The community HATES him and Trump equally. Let me tell you, I'm tied into the Latino community here and people are approaching this election with quiet and dignified determination.
Something to consider, btw. Young Hispanics in AZ oftentimes have prepaid wireless numbers. Many of them lapse in minutes, making them very difficult to get ahold of. No way the pollsters are picking them all up.
Finally, virtually everybody in the Latino community knows somebody who benefits from DACA. They know the stakes. Don't give up on AZ yet.
Every election cycle Democrats in Arizona say Hispanics are a bloc that could help turn the state from red to blue, and every cycle that group votes below its potential numbers.
This year Democrats see evidence that more Hispanic voters are casting ballots early. Through Nov. 1, voters who are believed to be Hispanic cast nearly 12 percent of the early ballots. That's still a small share, but well ahead of the 6 percent at the same point four years ago.

(7,963 posts)She WAS a big fish in a small pond that believed her own bullshit. You don't do that to POTUS. Shit will reign down behind the scenes. And sure enough, she is but an insignificant speck politically.
