#1 "God - Family - Country" was her campaign placard. Hidalgo GOP Hispanic Get Out The Vote Chair. Texas GOP decided several years ago to build an army of Hispanic get Out the Vote operatives from the Hispanic community in every Texas County.

#3 ..whistling past the graveyard. There are a lot of those on the 'other side' who are deciding to just stay home. They'll never pull a lever for a Trunk, but they won't show up either. Thus the desperate need for agents to sign the 'sit outs' names (except in PA which is no longer required) on a ballot for people just like that aka ballot harvesting.

#4 When I was working in the refineries doing construction, there was a lot of Hispanics from there up here to work and not only were they strong trump supporters, they were very unhappy with the Democrats regarding law and order, immigration and their attempts to destroy families. It's been changing for some time.

#5 As P2K said, 'vote harvesting' is ripe for the practice of thugs showing up on your doorstep and "advicing" you to vote for Their candidate.
