The Latin Builders Association sent out an email blast last last week, right before early voting started, with their endorsements for the Nov. 8 election. But there was one glaring omission: Hillary Clinton wasn’t on it.
That’s odd. The LBA had endorsed Clinton earlier this month, and it was big news, too, because it is the first time the group — the largest organization of Hispanic construction professionals in the U.S. — supports a Democrat for president.
“Throughout its 40-year history, the LBA has consistently endorsed candidates who have conservative principles, a pro-business mindset, believe in limited government regulation, and possess strong business ethics and family values that have closely aligned with ours,” LBA President Alex Lastra said in a statement. “In the past, these candidates have tended to be from the Republican Party.”
But, he added, the president should also “possess the right temperament, sound judgment, knowledge of national and international issues and the ability to bring people together, regardless of party affiliation.”
“It is clear that, in this election, the candidate whose values best align with the LBA and who possesses these important qualities is Hillary Clinton.”
But now it’s been less than two weeks and already they forgot how wonderful she is. 
Or maybe they just ain’t that proud of it? Because her picture and name are MIA from the list of endorsements they announced Friday morning.
Were they afraid to include even one Democrat in what is otherwise a completely Republican slate card? Did they get a lot of blow back from the community after the Hillary nod?
Ladra called Lastra and left a message to find out why Clinton had been left off. But we are not holding our breath. The LBA is probably playing out of sight, out of mind.
The list doesn’t have any mention of the top of the ballot and starts, instead, with the Florida Senate race and their nod to Sen. Marco Rubio. Then it goes into the mayoral race (which is non partisan), congressional races, state races, the county clerk’s race and only one school board runoff.
Probably because the other contest is between two Democrats and they just don’t care who wins.

Will never figure out what goes on in politics!
How anyone can call Hillary Clinton corrupt and not tRUMP is beyond me 🙁
Your acknowledge Hillary is a corrupt liar but you just want Trump supporters to admit the same?
Of course Donald is a lair, in the best tradition of lawyers, politicians and real estate developers everywhere, but he’s refreshingly transparent about it.
He takes pride in tax avoidance because tax evasion is illegal, he celebrates his brand of business Darwinism which is politically incorrect but a very efficient way to run company (or a country)
His is truthful of the fact he not be a gracious winner.
For me is the most refreshing political honesty. Anyone who’s ever spent anytime in government has seen the outgoing incumbent proudly standing in front of the cameras pledging support for the transition meanwhile his staff furiously draining their office budgets and loading the furniture on the trucks outback..
Donald’s approach is “yeah, maybe not so much, check with me after the election” and then he sits back and watches all the media wonks go into some kind of epileptic seizures.
Nowhere in her comment did Jo acknowledge that Mrs. Clinton was corrupt.
Perhaps, “No Fan,” you’ve become so ingratiated with your candidate that you, too, have adopted his style of prevarication, of making things up. Indeed, you admit as much by conceding that he is a liar and that you admire that because at least he is “refreshingly transparent” about it. Wow.
It’s going to be a pleasure to watch all of you Trumpets struggle to find things to do with your time after Nov. 9 besides post lunatic comments touting your defeated candidate’s wonderful ways and endearing ethics. Maybe all of you can spend that time opining about, say, the lumpiness of Cream of Wheat.
Meanwhile I’m going to enjoy thinking about all of you soiling your pants and bursting your blood vessels as Madam President governs the country.
I’ve said it many times, it’s a race to the bottom and I will voter for neither.. However I find refreshing someone in politics does not have to pander the lowest common elitist denominator and still rates 40% of the vote.. I find it deeply refreshing the network media doesn’t know what to do with themselves, their predictions have been wrong at every turn and now they are feeding on their young from Billy Bush to Donna Brazile.
They’ve been so used to being the soothsayer of truth all these years and now that social media has supplanted their political expertise..it’s like how television change the metrics after the Kennedy-Nixon debates in 1960.
Sometimes I think I’m watching a sequel to Network where Howard Beale isn’t assassinated but decides to run for president.
Jerry Edelman doesnt know the diference between legal but questionable decisions by former PPresident Clinton n the ILLGEAL under Federal Tax Laws actions by Donald Trump. Rightwing Jews like Jerry Edelman are beyond DUMB.
Jerry, take a chill pill. Those who support Clinton while holding their nose also wonder how anyone can support a Roy Khon protege, adulterer, non tax paying, vulgar, corrupt, bigoted candidate such as Trump. Now put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Maybe they just figured out how CORRUPT she is and doesn’t give one dame about anyone or helping anyone except when they DONATE to her campaign or her CORRUPT FOUNDATION. How anyone can support her after the leaked emails is simply beyond me. THE MOST CORRUPT candidate who has ever run for the presidency in my lifetime which is now 68 years and counting.
