Post-election: Now Vicente Speaks Up?

I’ll bet a hundred bucks to the first comer — U.S. Rep. Vicente Gonzalez will never again compare Hispanics who support Trump as being, basically, synonymous with “Jews for Hitler.”

Not after narrowly getting reelected to his Texas House District, 34, by beating his GOP opponent Mayra Flores approximately 51.3 percent (102,780 votes) to 48.7 percent, or 97,603 votes. (Source: AP.)

Before the Nov. 5 race was decided, still on the campaign trail, Gonzalez had this to say about Trump voters with Hispanic roots:

“I don’t understand how Mexican Americans can vote for Trump. It’s clearly a vote against self-interest(s). And yes it would be like the Jewish community voting for Hitler before the atrocities he caused. That would never happen. And Latinos need [to] wake up and see a tyrant on the horizon.

Hey, Vicente, what your constituents see is butter costing $7 and the price of chicken wings going through the roof. They also see, right or wrong, what looks to them as if recent asylum seekers coming across the border are getting treated better than they are even if they have lived and worked on this side of the border their entire lives.

The cost of everything is at record levels.

So do you, Vicente, really think many of your constituents give a rat’s class as to whether a guy who transitions to a girl should have the right to play girl’s volleyball in high school?

Is that really what keeps them awake at night, or is it how to put bread on the table and keep a roof over their head?

Even if Kamala Harris had voiced an economic plan on how to reverse mortgage rates, reduce the rate of inflation (higher than the government claims), stop the war in Ukraine, stop the Jews and Muslims from killing each other, the Dems might have fared better than they did Nov. 5, losing all three branches of the Republic to the same party that gave us the Iraq War, and facilitated the offshoring of American jobs.

Ah, yes, the Dems under Biden did such a great job they put back in power the party of George W. Bush who can’t even complete a coherent sentence.

At least Trump will have a better chance this time of getting his agenda pushed through Congress since many of the old-school George W. Bush crowd are gone.

Thank you, Providence.

Number one, Jose the plumber who’s been living in the U.S. for 10, 20 years, with no criminal record, been working hard, producing, raising a family, but still has no work visa, is not going to be deported.

The criminals who are in this country illegally, they’re going to get deported.

Maybe the absurd “anchor baby” law will be eliminated for the sake of reason.

There will be no tariffs placed on Mexican or Canadian imports. Trump’s using that as a scare tactic to get Mexico to do something about the flow of undocumented migrants traversing through their country on the way to the land of milk and honey (with a current national debt of approximately $36 trillion, but who’s counting?”)

Guys like Vicente Gonzalez kill me though. (Thankfully, not in a literal way). He goes with the flow of the Democratic Party to win reelection, but after the win, he schools his own party on what needs to change, which is pretty accurate, but why not say this before the Nov. 5 election?

In a story published Nov. 26 in the Texas Tribune, Gonzalez had this to say about the Democratic Party:

In a recent interview with The Texas Tribune, the four-term Democratic congressman, with a penchant for going rogue, took a shiv to the Democratic playbook. He said the party’s fixation on abortion this cycle was “lazy” and out of touch with his majority- Catholic district. He urged the party to, in some cases, soften its defenses of transgender rights, even if that means voting against the Democratic base. He said Democrats had insufficiently attacked Republicans on economic issues. And he said the Democrats were plagued with “incompetence” in gauging the driving issues for voters in districts like his.

“Their messaging is off. I also believe their polling is off. Democratic polling has been consistently off beyond the margin of error for the last two or three cycles,” Gonzalez said in his Capitol Hill office. It’s “incompetence, at the end of the day. I think they need to get rid of people.”

I agree. For starters. Let’s pass “term limits.”

The only reason so many people get into national politics is because they have failed at everything else in life. Yet, they can BS their way into office. Even worse, they keep finding ways to get reelected.
