Nothing will make me happier than seeing Latino voters thumb their collective noses at Trump the lying xenophobe.
"Judging from the latest primary results and new polls that have just come out, I have a growing feeling that Latinos will save America from Donald Trump. There is little question after the April 26 primary elections in Pennsylvania and four other states that Trump will be the Republican candidate for November’s presidential elections. And if he is defeated by Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, it will be largely thanks to the Latino vote.
Consider a new poll by Latino Decisions, a nationwide survey of 2,200 registered Latino voters: It shows that a whopping 87 percent of Hispanics have an unfavorable opinion of Trump. Just in case you are wondering, the poll has a margin of error of 2.1 percent. Trump’s standing among Latino voters has been falling steadily since the very day he announced his run for the presidency on June 16 and said that most Mexicans are “rapists” and that they “bring drugs and crime” to the United States.
His rhetoric against Mexicans — perhaps influenced by his failed business project in Baja California in 2008 — and other undocumented immigrants, most of whom are Hispanics, has escalated since.
Despite having been told a thousand times that his narrative about an avalanche of undocumented Mexicans coming to the United States is inaccurate — in fact, U.S. Census figures show the flow of Mexicans is significantly down from 2008 — Trump is repeating his fear-mongering tale in almost every speech.
...Latinos are concentrated in 10 states that have the largest number of votes in the electoral college. They will exceed 10 percent of voters in Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, New Jersey, New Mexico, Nevada, New York and Texas...
...And Clinton is doing much better than Trump among Hispanics: 61 percent of those polled nationwide say they have a favorable opinion of Clinton, while only 9 percent have a favorable opinion of Trump, the Latino Decision survey shows...
My opinion: Even if Trump changes his image and moderates his rhetoric to look more “presidential” in coming months, his math won’t work. His constituency of largely angry white males won’t be enough to compensate for his scant support among women and black voters, and for his disastrous one-digit support among Latinos...
Most importantly, Trump’s xenophobia — if not racism — is likely to mobilize Latino voters like never before, because they will feel threatened by him. Hispanics will vote in record numbers in November. And, rather than being a threat to America, they will save America from Trump."
