All of the above, is very normal writing, and not to be particularly noticed. Except this isn't a completely regular article. Here is where things get interesting, further down: (again quoting from the original here)
"Among the small cadre of political observers who believe Trump may actually do well among Latinos is Ruben Navarrette Jr., a syndicated columnist who focuses on Latino issues. "Hispanics for Trump?" he asks in USA Today. "Oh yeah. Get ready. That's a thing."
"Navarrette has three main arguments: Trump's Republican rivals are tiptoeing around immigration issues and "when you flinch, Hispanics notice"; Trump's hard line on immigration actually "is not a deal killer with all Hispanics, many of whom want stricter border security"; and Hispanics are actually pretty similar to other Americans and "what appeals to many other people about Trump also appeals to them." He elaborates:
Hispanics have been deceived and manipulated by both parties. And they're hungry for a candidate who says what he thinks, doesn't back down, hammers the news media, and doesn't sugarcoat differences with opponents. Apart from substance, Trump will get points for his style which — during a hot summer — seems as refreshing as a cool breeze. [Navarrette, USA Today]
That style of projecting strength and confidence through bluster has a name, says Meg Mott, a professor of politics and gender at Vermont's Marlboro College. "In the Spanish-speaking world, this type of leader is known as a caudillo, the man on horseback who takes out the bad guys and leads his people to safety," Mott tells The Christian Science Monitor. "He's rough and he doesn't care about fine things like legal rights, but that very roughness means he can get things done."

OK you'll have to read the full article, which I've linked to. But this is quite interesting, and seems entirely plausible to me.
I will watch for more referenced to this in the future.
"Caudillo".
Very interesting article.

He won’t get the illegal alien vote, though.
Trump has a positive, can-do attitude and it sells.
Most of the rest are hand-wringing, pearl-clutching Republican’ts afraid of progressive shadows.
No.. he will not win the Latino vote.
I bet Donald Trump has earned their respect.
But the bottom line, really, is that Trump doesn’t need the Hispanic vote. He can simply win by getting just a few percentage more of the white vote, as Coulter noted. And I suspect that Trump will do very well among blacks and latinos even despite everything.
You mean the U.S. citizen ones? The ones who are legally allowed to vote? Of course they could. Most of the Latino descent people I know aren't any more thrilled about the invasion from the south than the rest of the U.S. citizenship.
Legal immigration, si! Undocumented immigration, no!
Y’know, as we get closer to election day, and Trump is high in the polls, all of the illegals could get skittish and go home (not vote 100 times each) rather than face unknown policies of a President Trump.
Will never happen when Rubio crosses over to become the Dem nominee to fill Hillary’s vacancy.
Rubio is a lib and anchor baby, a Dem fantasy child.
How did we ever get to the point where latinos get to decide what Americans get to choose?
