Continuing their brilliant “I hate brown people” pitch to America, the Right’s Field has forced the cancellation of a Spanish-language debate:
Due to lack of interest, cable television station Univisión has canceled its September 16 Republican debate in Spanish, the Miami Herald reports. Only Sen. John McCain agreed to participate in the event at the University of Miami.
The cancellation adds to the growing distance between the Latino community and most of the Republican field, who “also ignored invitations to attend Hispanic-oriented conferences in Florida organized by the National Association of Latin Elected Officials and the National Council of La Raza.”
It’s OK, Florida isn’t an important swing state or anything.
The GOP is being led by its nativist base right off a cliff. It is undeniable that Hispanic turnout at the polls will only continue to increase, and simply ignoring their issues because a certain strain of their supporters is consumed by hatred makes no sense. This is the kind of thing politicial parties do that ends up destroying them for a generation.

Amazing. We are watching the mass suicide of a political party.
