  • WIKILEAKS: Bill Clinton Requested ‘Young Latina’ on Campaign Trail

    Turns out Slick Willy got his request, but he had to share the stage with Hillary. Here is a photo of the whole Clinton family campaigning with America Ferrera and Eva Longoria in Nevada days after this email discussion occurred.

    HOUSTON -- Houston's streets got a little hotter today as the Houston Latino Trump Coalition came out to support their candidate. "He's the only choice we have." Julio Torres responded as he waved his Latinos For Trump sign at passing cars. "He's going to give us progress, he's going to give us opportunities, he's going to end all the race-baiting, and he's going to end all of the poverty in our neighborhoods. He's going to do a lot better for us than Hilary Clinton will." Needless to say, this did not sit well with some members of the Latino community...

    The MIami Herald ^ | September 26, 2016 | Patricia Mazzei
    Donald Trump’s first order of business after Monday night’s big debate? Meeting with Miami Hispanics. For real this time. His campaign has asked about 150 South Florida Latinos to a town hall-style meeting 2 p.m. Tuesday at Miami Dade College’s Koubek Center, several people invited told the Miami Herald. It will be Trump’s first public event following his first debate against Hillary Clinton. He first plans to hit a $25,000-a-head fundraiser in Miami. Trump’s campaign twice scheduled small-scale meetings with Miami Hispanics over the summer, but both times the events had to be scrapped. A July 8 luncheon at Versailles...

    The Hill ^ | September 20, 2016 | Niall Stanage
    Donald Trump is performing about as well with Hispanic voters as GOP nominee Mitt Romney did in 2012, according to opinion polls — something that unsettles Democrats and surprises even some Republicans. Skeptics had suggested that Trump would suffer a blowout among Hispanics, given that his rhetoric, on illegal immigration in particular, has been controversial. Trump’s promise to build a wall on the southern U.S. border and force Mexico to pay for it is perhaps the best known of his campaign pledges. And at his campaign launch in June 2015, he said people coming into the country illegally were “rapists.”...

    The Houston Chronicle ^ | September 18, 2016 | Keri Blakinger
    What Houston's Hispanic Donald Trump supporters lack in experience, they make up for in fervor. Even in Sunday's sweltering 93-degree heat, about a dozen members of the Houston Trump Latino Coalition jumped up and down, blew kisses and ran up to cars to try to win the support of passers-by at the corner of Pansy and Fairmont in Pasadena. They weren't always successful. "Whenever they flip you the finger, just blow them a kiss," suggested one supporter. The Pasadena gathering was the first of two roadside demonstrations Sunday for the group that just formed in June. Co-founder Renee Garza clutched...

    Americans of color to the rescue? That’s how MTV‘s Ana Marie Cox sees it. Appearing on today’s Morning Joe, Cox said: “I feel like if Hillary Clinton wins in the fall, it will be because the black and brown people of America have saved us, like they do a lot of time.” Cox, perhaps best known as founder of the Wonkette blog, was preceded on set by Marcela Valdes of the New York Times, whose recent article noted the lack of political engagement in Latino culture [emphasis added]: “through all my conversations, I began to fear the real roots of...

  • National Poll: Trump Surges Among Latinos, African-Americans

    09/08/2016 7:42:08 PM PDT · by profit_guy · 28 replies
    Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has some favorable ratings among both Latinos and African-American voters, according to results of the latest Franklin Pierce University/Boston Herald poll. The poll's demographic breakdown showed that by combining voters who were "very favorable" and "somewhat favorable" to Trump, the billionaire developer got a positive rating from 35 percent of Hispanics and 24 percent of African-Americans. A Breitbart analysis of the poll notes Trump would not win with either group because 49 percent of Hispanics and 69 percent of African-Americans still have a "very unfavorable" view of him. Hispanic support would help Trump in Florida,...

    Univision chief executive Randy Falco has written to the Commission on Presidential Debates, expressing “disappointment, and frankly disbelief” at the decision not to include a Spanish-language moderator for the upcoming series of presidential debates. “Simply put: it’s an abdication of your responsibility to represent and reflect one of the largest and most influential communities in the U.S,” Falco writes in the letter, addressed to commission executive director Janet Brown. Friday morning, the commission announced its choices for the three presidential and one vice presidential debates. The presidential debate moderators are all from English-language television: Lester Holt of NBC News, Martha...

    Will Donald Trump’s pivot on immigration and his trip to Mexico change the way Hispanic voters view him? I don’t know. But quite apart from anything Trump is doing, Hispanics view Hillary Clinton less favorably than they did earlier this year. According to the Washington Post, a new Latino Decisions poll found that 70 percent of registered Hispanic voters say they will definitely vote for Clinton or were leaning towards doing so. That’s not a bad number, but it’s down 6 points from April. Moreover, the same survey found that only 55 percent of Hispanics view Clinton favorably. That’s down...
  • Clinton isn’t doing better than previous Democrats with Latinos — even against Trump

    WaPo ^ | 3 Sep 2016 | Abby Phillip
    In a presidential year expected to produce record turnout among Hispanic voters, there are few signs that Hillary Clinton is performing any better among Latinos than past Democratic presidential candidates — even with ­immigrant-bashing Donald Trump as her GOP opponent. In Nevada and Florida, the two battleground states with the highest Latino populations, the Democratic nominee remains locked in a close race with Trump. Clinton is polling about the same as Democrats in previous contests among Latinos nationally, apparently gaining no ground from Trump’s historic unpopularity. The close polls in Nevada and Florida have prompted Clinton’s allies to begin spending...

    While most Latinos saw trouble in Donald Trump's candidacy, Marco Gutierrez saw opportunity. And he also saw a different kind of danger for America if the billionaire wasn't elected president: unchecked illegal immigration -- which he colorfully described on national TV as "taco trucks on every corner."

    Over the past month, I have followed a flurry of Twitter feeds showcasing Latino support for Donald Trump. Were those social sites a front, a set of troll sites just to stir people up, or the real deal? One tweet announced a Latinos for Trump rally in Anaheim, California for August 28th, 2016.I decided to check it out. I thought it was too good to be true, but I made it. Traffic on a Sunday afternoon going down the 405 freeway (the main artery for traffic throughout the South Bay section of Los Angeles County) was not the obstacle I...

    ANAHEIM – About 100 supporters of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump rallied at Anaheim City Hall on Sunday afternoon, arguing that his support among the Latino community is stronger than has been widely reported. The rally, organized by Latinos for Trump, was part of an initiative termed Operation Taco Bowl – an apparent reference to a Cinco de Mayo photo of Trump eating a taco bowl with a caption that read, “I love Hispanics.” Trump supporters took turns standing beside two mannequin caricatures of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and telling the crowd why they support Trump. Chants of “viva Trump”...

    Donald Trump stepped up his push for non-white voters Monday, asking bluntly how much more crime would have to occur until African-Americans and Latinos would support him. "Look how bad it is getting!" Trump tweeted. "How much more crime, how many more shootings, will it take for African-Americans and Latinos to vote Trump=SAFE!" He then added this tweet, "Inner-city crime is reaching record levels. African-Americans will vote for Trump because they know I will stop the slaughter going on!"(continued)

    He appeals to us on the issues that matter most.As a proud Latina, the daughter of two Cuban immigrants, who lives in a heavily Latino, blue-collar neighborhood, the question I’m asked all the time these days is: Wait, how is it you support Donald Trump? It’s an occasionally amusing, sometimes tiresome, but never surprising line of inquiry. After all, among the many false narratives out there about Trump, the one pushed hardest is that he’s at odds with Latinos. But, like much of that rhetoric, it’s a deliberately simplistic assessment of the Latino electorate. And, for the record, yes —...
