<snip>
"Miamis Latin Builders Association, which bills itself as the nations largest Hispanic construction group, has endorsed Hillary Clinton, the first time the conservative-leaning, largely Cuban-American organization has backed a Democrat for president.
LBA leaders plan to meet with Clinton behind closed doors Tuesday, when she will hold a rally at Miami Dade Colleges Kendall Campus with former Vice President Al Gore.
Throughout its 40-year history, the LBA has consistently endorsed candidates who have conservative principles, a pro-business mindset, believe in limited government regulation, and possess strong business ethics and family values that have closely aligned with ours, LBA President Alex Lastra said in a statement. In the past, these candidates have tended to be from the Republican Party.
But, Lastra added, the president should also possess the right temperament, sound judgment, knowledge of national and international issues and the ability to bring people together, regardless of party affiliation.
It is clear that, in this election, the candidate whose values best align with the LBA and who possesses these important qualities is Hillary Clinton.

(7,365 posts)That was one minority the Republicans could always count on and now the Rambling Cheetoh has managed to push them to the Democratic side. This is a HUGE move and it should shake the rafters at the RNC, because they can't afford to lose the tiny few minority groups they have left.
Wonder what the Log Cabin Republicans are thinking.
As far as the other Republican interest groups such as the Klan, the Aryan Nations, Holocaust deniers etc...I don't want them anyway.
