23. Hispanic Americans many who are catholic..problem #1, prefer a "strong man" leader, problem #2

Problem #1 and #2 go hand in hand, not much you can change there. #3 they are very tribal. #4 many here want the country locked down with no immigration thinking immigrants will take their jobs. Sadly they see it as I have mine the rest, I don’t care what happens to them

Not much one can do about any of these.

Beto is planning on campaigning in the south of his state along the rio grande in heavily Hispanic populated areas, we’ll see how successful he is.

It’s sad to think many fled here from Central America to escape the dictator types, only to want a strong man dictator type....

Make that make sense, or how to change it????!!!
