Hispanics increased their support for Trump

 Newsmax:

...

A Tipp Insights analysis of CNN polling data revealed Wednesday in a report by Raghavan Mayur, director of the IBD/TIPP Poll, showed that Harris had a margin of just 8 percentage points (53%-45%) over Trump among Hispanic voters. In 2020 against Joe Biden and 2016 against Hillary Clinton, Trump lost the Hispanic vote by 33 and 38 points, respectively.

"While Hispanics boosted Democratic margins by nearly 4 points in 2016 and 2020, their influence dwindled to just 1% this cycle, underscoring a pivotal shift," Mayur wrote.

Trump even won Florida's heavily Hispanic Miami-Dade County — traditionally a huge source of Democrat votes. Clinton carried the county by 29.4 points (63.2%-33.8%) in 2016 and Biden won it by 7.4 points (53.3%-45.9%) in 2020. But on Wednesday, Trump carried the county by 11.6 points (55.5%-43.9%).

Trump became the first Republican presidential candidate to win the county since George H.W. Bush in 1988 against Michael Dukakis.

I suspect that energy prices were one of the reasons the Democrats lost support in the Hispanic community.   While the prices increased because the Biden-Harris team reduced US energy production people still had to get to work and producers still had to get their goods to market.  Trump will likely return to his past energy policies which do not restrict domestic energy production.

... Trump won Latino men by 12 points over Harris — a staggering 35-point swing since 2020, when Biden won the group by 23 points. And while Harris did comfortably win among Latino women, pulling ahead of Trump by 22 points, it’s a stark difference to the 39-point lead that broke for Biden among the cohort just four years ago.

 Historic news from the southern border left Democrats completely panicking

...

President-elect Donald Trump scored a groundbreaking victory in a historically Democratic stronghold along the border, a county with a 97% Hispanic population, shattering a Democratic winning streak that dated back to 1896.

The shift was clear by Wednesday morning, with Trump capturing Starr County with over 57% of the vote — the first time a Republican has taken this border community in 128 years.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
