New Mexico's governor, Susana Martinez, chairwoman of the Republican Governors Association, did not mince words: She told the crowd of about 60 wealthy GOP backers that, as a Latina, she was offended by Trump's language about immigrants. Noting her years working as a prosecutor on the Mexican border and now as a border-state governor, Martinez said Trump's plan to build a wall and force Mexico to pay for it was unrealistic and irresponsible, according to multiple people in attendance.

After Trump's criticism ...

Martinez spokesman Mike Lonergan said the governor -- a former Marco Rubio supporter who has not yet said she'll back the GOP nominee in November -- won't be "bullied" into supporting Trump "until she is convinced" he'd act in New Mexico's best interests.

The press theme is that Trump is particularly hostile to Latino's, rather than what seems to be the case, he is hostile to ANY special interest that uses only race or sex as justification for preferential treatment. His "build the wall" and his attack on Martinez are both spun in exactly this way, racial hostility on Trump's part. Fournier is using the same template, but applying it to Trump voters.

My intuitive sense is that Trump should not trust her, at all. She'll be a governor's version of Ryan and Romney. They are at least miffed, probably angry and hostile to any success by Trump, and while they won;t be openly hostile, they will work to sabotage Trump.

Great catch,thanks.

This is usually Trumps style.

He doesn't strike out first but responds to earlier hits.Looks like that's what it was here and surprise, surprise none of the drivebys reported it. When you google it all you get is what Martinez has to say after trumps comments never before. If truth is to get out we need to get it out here in the New Media.
