First off, the popular vote margin will not be 2 percent…it will be larger than that when everyone including CA is done counting, etc., but yes, when you consider that the GOP cannot win the popular vote nationally and their Senators represent far fewer people, they clearly have outsized power relative to the popularity of their ideas. As for record Hispanic conservatives, let’s be clear: that only seems to have been significant in one county in FL…Miami Dade. In Arizona, NM, TX, CA, and in NY, etc. the Latinx vote didn’t change much. In Miami it did, which is due to a huge shift in the Cuban American community…so it’s impressive and certainly worth noting — and yes, it means the Latinx community like all communities is diverse in outlook, which I never have denied — but in any other context, losing a growing demographic group 65–35 or so would be seen as getting blown out. It’s only seen as a victory by the right because they have such slim non-white reeds to hang on to…
