LANGUAGE WARNING: This episode has some adult language scattered about as our guest gets fired up about what he worries the Democratic Party is not doing in South Texas.

Chuck Rocha, the senior most Democratic Latino political strategist in the country, is sounding the alarm about what his party is - and is not doing - in South Texas. Now that Hispanics are the largest racial demographic group in Texas, winning the Latino vote is the goal of politicians up and down the ballot. Some margins are so close, that vote could be the deciding factor in many races, particularly in south Texas. So just a few weeks out from the election, Rocha hit us up to talk about his worries in this part of the state. He has worked in Texas politics for more than three decades, manages a political consulting firm, ran Sen. Bernie Sanders' two presidential campaigns and co-hosts The Latino Vote podcast. Rocha’s raising red flags for his party in three south Texas congressional districts which he says are cut like “pieces of bacon” running north and south from San Antonio and Corpus Christi down to the Rio Grande. And he explains in this episode of Y’all-itics why national Democrats appear to be walking away from the Rio Grande Valley. That's going to haunt Texas Democrats forever, he said, if the party suffers a big loss down there. In fact, Rocha argues that if Democrats can’t stop a certain trend in south Texas, they won’t be able to win nationally either. The Democratic strategist also tells us why money and a Latina surname could make the races for Governor and Attorney General closer than folks are expecting.
