Congratulations, Gabriel Gomez. You just earned yourself a spot on top
of the Democratic National Committee’s hit list.
It’s not just because you’re the Republican nominee for Senate. Or
because you’re a Washington outsider who threatens to prevent lifelong
political hack Ed Markey from becoming “Senator for life.”
It’s not even because you’re a Boston Marathon-running, former Navy
SEAL who exudes the kind of patriotism that embarrasses many liberals today.
No. The real reason Democrats regard you as public enemy No. 1 can be
summed up in two words: Republican Latino.
You’re new to politics, so I’ll be blunt. Democrats may dislike
Republicans, but they despise Republican minorities.
The simple reason is, of course, electoral. Crucial to Democratic
success is a trifecta of subgroups: minorities (including Latinos), young
people, and women. This coalition has been described as a three-legged stool
. A Republican who can even begin to crack one of the legs can potentially
knock the stool over. |
