3 millennial Hispanics explain why they vote GOP (and how the Party can continue to grow)

Hispanic voting trends benefited the GOP this election cycle, but the numbers are not favorable by any standard.

National exit polls from the 2012 election show that Obama clinched 71 percent of the Latino vote while Romney managed 27 percent. Predictions said the news coverage of Donald Trump’s campaign, painting him as anti-Hispanic and anti-immigrant, would impact his numbers with Hispanic voters significantly. However, there was an R+8 spread change among Hispanics in the 2016 election, with Hillary dropping from Obama’s 2012 numbers to 65 percent of the Hispanic vote while Trump grew 2 points from Romney’s 2012 figure to 29 percent.

Why does the GOP have a problem connecting with Hispanics? Three millennial Hispanic voters explain why they vote Republican and how they think the GOP can improve its Hispanic outreach.
