Hispanic leaders say Republican Party must condemn Trump

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Hispanic leaders are warning of harm to Republican White House hopes unless the party's presidential contenders do more to condemn Donald Trump, a businessman turned presidential candidate who's refusing to apologize for calling Mexican immigrants rapists and drug dealers.

Trump's comments, delivered in his announcement speech last month, have haunted the GOP for much of the last two weeks and dominated Spanish-language media. It's bad timing for a Republican Party that has invested significantly in Hispanic outreach in recent years, given the surging influence of the minority vote.

Yet several Republican candidates have avoided the issue altogether, while those who have weighed in have declined to criticize Trump as strongly as many Hispanic leaders would like.

"The time has come for the candidates to distance themselves from Trump and call his comments what they are: ludicrous, baseless and insulting," said Alfonso Aguilar, a Republican who leads the American Principles Project's Latino Partnership. "Sadly, it hurts the party with Hispanic voters. It's a level of idiocy I haven't seen in a long time."

The political and practical Trump-related fallout has intensified in recent days.

“Hispanic groups” with a problem with Trump should have to spend a week watching MS-13 rape and kill their families.

There’s not a word Trump said that is false. These “Hispanic leaders” are pathetic.

“Flaming liberal Hispanic leaders in cahoots with democrat party hacks are warning of harm to Republican White House hopes unless the party’s presidential contenders do more to condemn Donald Trump”

Fixed it.

Can we get the names and addresses of those Trump protestors and advertise for illegals to visit their homes at night?

After all, illegals are all really nice people. It says so on their stamped visas and passports.

THIS MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD Latinos say Spanish languauge TV--Univision, will ask Republicans whether they agree with Trump....and threaten that Republicans will not get latino support to beat Hillary.

So what else is new?

THE CLINTON-UNIVISION CONNECTION

REFERENCE Bill Clinton will speak (for an undisclosed fee) at Spanish-language network Univision on the subject of “growth and influence of the Latino market" (translation---laying on the latino agit-prop).

The NY Post reports the Univision speech could be part of a strategy with Univision owner, Haim Saban, to deliver these votes to Hillary. Saban, a billionaire entertainment mogul, is also hosting Hollywood fund-raisers for Hillary in LA.

TIT FOR TAT Bill does the paid speech for Haim and Haim helps deal with the critical Hispanic audience for Hillary.

==================================================

WIKI---Latino Univision owner, Haim Saban has been a generous and consistent donor to the United States Democratic Party according to his mandatory Federal Election Commission filings. Mother Jones mag's analysis of the major donors to the campaigns of 1998 election cycle, ranked Saban 155th among individual donors.

Amy Paris noted that Saban's Clinton-era "generosity did not go unrewarded. During the Clinton administration, the entertainment executive served on the President's Export Council, advising the White House on trade issues."[23]

The New York Times reported that Haim and his wife "slept in the Clinton White House several times during President Clinton's two terms." Saban remains close friends with the former President. Clinton described Saban as a "very good friend and supporter."[5] Saban contributed between $5 million to $10 million to the William J. Clinton Foundation.[24]

During the 2000 presidential election, Saban increased his rank to 5th among individual donors with a combined contribution of $1,250,500.[23] Matthew Yglesias wrote that "Saban was the largest overall contributor to the Democratic National Committee during the 2001–2002 cycle." [25] Saban's donations during that 2001–2002 period exceeded $10 million, the largest donation the DNC has received from a single source up to that time.

In September 2004, Hillary Clinton described Saban as a very good friend, supporter and adviser: "I am grateful for his commitment to Israel, to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East and to my foundation's work, particularly on reconciliation issues."[5] In May 2007, Haim publicly declared his support for Clinton in 2008 presidential election.[20]

In June 2007, Saban and Steven Spielberg co-hosted a Hillary Clinton fundraiser at the house of Peter Chernin, the President of News Corporation.[26] According to the Los Angeles Times,[26] the fundraiser brought in over $850,000.

In March 2008, Saban was among a group of major donors to sign a letter to Democratic Party house leader Nancy Pelosi warning her to "keep out of the Democratic presidential primaries."[27]

The donors, who "were strong supporters of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton presidential campaign", "were incensed by a March 16 interview in which Pelosi said that party 'superdelegates' should heed the will of the majority in selecting a candidate."[27] The letter to Pelosi stated the donors "have been strong supporters of the DCCC" and implied, according to The Jewish Telegraphic Agency,[27] that Pelosi could lose their financial support in important upcoming congressional elections.

On May 19, 2008, it was reported that Haim Saban had "offered $1 million to the Young Democrats of America during a phone conversation in which he also pressed for the organization's two uncommitted superdelegates to endorse the New York Democrat."[28]

Haim Saban is the Chairman and CEO of Saban Capital Group, Inc.

He’s Floyd Turbo in a very expensive suit. As mentioned here, http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3307316/posts?page=35#35

...it’s deliberate. Outrage and demands to condemn his caricature views are the desired results.

I like how they "warn". No suggestion, no conversation just warnings. Fascists thugs all.

When I get a a warning the first thing I say is "or what?"

Hispanic "leaders" need to be asked by GOP candidates why the US immigration policy should be any different from Mexico's.

Mexico welcomes only foreigners who will be useful to Mexican society. According to the nation's central immigration law:

The law also ensures that:

The Hispanics that would possibly vote for a conservative candidate already know illegal immigration is a problem.

Why waste time catering to the ones that support illegals anyway?
