Bad News For Democrats: Trump Could Win Over Working Hispanics
The Gateway Pundit ^ | 11/4/2015 | Jim Hoft

Despite the continued hits by the liberal media and Republican elites Donald Trump is gaining momentum with Hispanic voters. The Washington Times reported:

To hear political pundits tell it, Donald Trump has little chance to attract enough Hispanic voters to win the presidency in 2016 because of his plans to build a border wall and deport all illegal immigrants in America. Some pollsters and activists who have whipped up past Hispanic support for Republicans, however, see it differently.

They think Mr. Trumps lasering in on the economy and his perceived competence in creating jobs will appeal to the one segment of Hispanics that matters most in elections: those who work and tend to vote. Thats because those voters fear illegal immigrants will compete for their jobs under the new Obama amnesty.

'This stuff you read about how Hispanics are going to run away from Trump in droves is a Northeastern myth,' said longtime presidential campaign adviser Mark Sanders.

'Most Hispanics here in East Texas are here legally, they vote, and they are hard-line opponents of illegal immigration,' said Mr. Sanders, a top adviser in Democrat Tony Sanchezs 2002 campaign to unseat then-Gov. Rick Perry. 'The only one they want is Trump, not Hillary, not Bernie. Thats the conundrum for Democrats.'

I would love to read a headline that says, “Bad news for Democrats as Trump handily beats Hillary Clinton for the presidency.”

The cheap labor express train is missing one candidate:

For people that have been here for years that have been hard-workers, have good jobs, they're supporting their family -- it's very, very tough to just say, 'By the way, 22 years, you have to leave. Get out. . . . I'm one of the world's very conservative people, but I have to tell you on a human basis, how do you throw somebody out that's lived in this country for 20 years."

What?

You mean Trump could win over Hispanics without trying to buy them off, like every other Republican candidate is trying to do, with some down-low play for some full amnesty thingy going on for them???

LOL!!

The amnesty candidates are loaded with wealth and Wall Street futures. It is the Middle Class whose backs these illegals get to ride all the way to the money trough filled with SS benefits, perks and preferences, medical, etc.

I sincerely would like to hear Rubio, Bush, Kasich and Cruz explain that. Cut it or burn it, these guys are for AMNESTY in some slippery form or another. Carson is so comatose I’ve missed it if he has even discussed illegal aliens.

They don’t pay for it. We do.

Been sayin’ this for years. The Hispanics I’ve worked with are Americans who have been here for generations, and whose family members have served in the military, and none of them want open borders.

AND working Blacks and Whites and Asians, etc.

That’s Trump’s appeal, to the working class.
