From Fox News Latino:
“Carson has said little to appeal to Latino voters and much that would alienate them
if they were paying any attention,” said Louis DeSipio, a political science professor
specializing in Latino studies at the University of California, Irvine. “This is a
dilemma that Republicans face. Their early primary/caucus state have few Latino voters,
so candidates seeking to break through in the early states have no incentive to position
themselves to win Latino votes and many incentives to speak to more nativist voters.”
