And then....I realize that everyone concedes that the Latino vote is very important, and that Trump won't do well with them.
But, he is likely to make up for that loss with previous Democratic voters, like Union workers in the rotting cities of the north who chaff under 40 or 50 years of Democratic mis-government--in places like Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania. And he is going to do far better than the Mormon Governor of Massachusetts with Evangelicals all across the Heartland....mainly because the Evangelicals are so alarmed about the direction of this country...that they have quit looking for a preacher...so desperate they are willing to embrace Trump while he hollers Pussy and Fuck at them.
And young people, traditionally Democrats because they are still young & foolish...are offended by everything they learn about Mrs. Clinton. Young people make up for being inexperienced by being idealistic...Hillary Clinton has no Ideals...unless avarice and mendacity are Ideals...and the young people see that.
I also find the Latino emphasis difficult to understand. Most Latinos live in 5 states...Texas (they haven't turned it Blue yet)...California, New York & New Jersey, which have all turned Deep Blue (Feeling the Bern Blue) long ago...and lastly Florida. If Trump wins nomination he will likely pick Rubio as his VP.....which should get him Florida...and more Latino votes all around than are currently expected...if it matters. Colorado is the next state where there are a lot of Latinos...and either side can win without Colorado.
In short, the argument that Republicans must get 47%, or any percentage, of Latino votes seems suspicious to me. The majority of them live in Texas, California, New York, and New Jersey---and it doesn't matter what percentage either Party gets in those States.
History, and Stats based on History, may not count anyway. This may be more of a Revolution than an election.
And Trump is doing better than any other GOP candidate in attracting the support of Latino voters...
A new poll confirms it. In the national survey, which was conducted by Beck Research on behalf of the American Federation for Children, 38 percent of Latinos favor Trump. Ted Cruz got 15 percent. Jeb Bush pulled in 14 percent. And Marco Rubio, the guy who’s supposed to be the one who could unite the party and win? Just 8 percent.
No Joke: Trump Can Win Plenty of Latinos
Trump would make Mexicans vote for him and would make them "pay for it" too
Have them build a wall.
