Washington, DC GOP frontrunner Donald Trump won more than 50 percent of the Hispanic vote in New York City, according to exit polls.

Analysis of the New York Times‘ vote tracker shows Trump won 61 percent in areas with at least a 50 percent Hispanic population.

“It’s an unexpected victory to many political pundits and establishment Republicans who were sure Mr. Trump would [repel] the Hispanic vote through his bombastic statements and immigration plan,” the Washington Times’ Kelly Riddell reports.

According to Riddell, in a poll taken prior to the New York primary, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 97% and Ohio Gov. John Kasich were favored over Trump by the Hispanic community.

“New York is Mr. Trump’s home state, and Mr. Cruz’s ‘New York values’ comment could’ve hurt him worse than anyone predicted. But it’s still interesting Mr. Trump pulled out a win with this demographic, and it might mean — despite what the polls are saying and most in the political and punditry class — that he’s not doomed in the general,” Riddell adds.

A better question might be, How many did Ted get? This is just another puddle to jump in! Splash and jump to the next puddle. It’s all about disruption from here on.

Let’s also not forget that 56% of the vote in New York was women.

So much for Trump’s women and Hispanic problem!

New York, both politically and socially, isn’t like much of the rest of the country. Same is true for much of New England.

The fact remains that Gallup’s nationwide survey found that Mr. Trump has a 70% unfavorable rating among female voters. Dance and spin if you choose, but it’s a problem in the general election.

I wouldn’t dismiss a win with Republican Hispanics. 20% or more of Hispanics consistently vote Republican. That has been as high as 44% in some elections. So there are a lot of Republican Hispanics and even more Republican leaning Hispanics. We need every vote we can get.

Florida had Trump winning in all demographics too.

According to Gingrich that reflected the rest of the country.
