Is the Democratic party really the party of the people? Claims are made all the time. Talking heads assert that the Dems are the party of the poor, the immigrants. Yet reality would say otherwise. Latino voters aren’t a homogenous group from the country of Latinia. They are comprised of immigrants and natural born citizens from Mexico, Columbia, Puerto Rico, Argentina, Brazil and Cuba, among others. We’ve heard a great deal from the left about whether Latinos will choose Hillary or Obama, as if its a foregone conclusion that this demographic is firmly planted in their camp. But since the 1980s sociologists have seen a trend of Hispanics away from the left. Tonight’s show was supposed to be a debate with members of both sides talking about the issues. Angel Sanchez,  state Vice Chair of the California Republican National Hispanic Assembly and a delegate to the California Republican Party and Hector Barajas, Director of Communications for the California Republican Party came ready to talk. From the Democrats … Not a single response. I promised to keep it all above-board - no set-up, no hidden agenda. Tonight I called Angel Sanchez the man the Democrats fear most. Is that it? Or do they fear exposing themselves to dialogue? We hear their views in sound bites and as responses to questions from their own party. But standing next to the Republicans and facing the challenges from you, my loyal listeners, was obviously too much. If you missed the show, download it now and listen in as the Man the Democrats Most Fear speaks.

   The democrats fool all the newbies. Once you’re in the country for a few generations everyone swings toward the right. They latinos will stay right where they are unless they wise up and swing the right way!
