How would it have mattered if he lost the Republican Hispanic vote? There’s so few of them that the totals wouldn’t matter in the General anyway.
And the goal is to win the Presidency, not to win the Republican nomination.
Actually, to win the general one must get crossovers
Trump has gotten more Hispanic / Black crossovers than anyone in recent history.
The goal is to win the presidency.
You don’t do that by losing people.
I don’t see your point here... Maybe we are in agreement that Trump is in a better position than any Bush, Romney or McCain has been in?
What is your point?
That does appear to current Cruz "logic". Can't win a plurality of Republican voters, but somehow capture the delegates and secure the Republican nomination; even though his current poll numbers are running in the 20s. Then, somehow, magically, win in a general election where not only are people allowed to vote, but Republicans, Independents, and even Democrats are allowed to vote.
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.
