There you are.
How do reports such as this square with Trump polling higher with Hispanics than any Republican in recent memory?
The “media” is doing everything they can think of to knock Trump out. This is just more liberal BS. I guess they aren’t looking forward to 01-20-2017 when Trump tells their king, “Barry! You’re fired!” That’s going to make a extremely popular YouTube clip although Barry getting the boot may start the Benghazi mortar platoons to stage another “protest”. He’s the best friend they have.
Like any Republican had a chance with these "voters" anyway.
They wouldn't vote for the two biggest pushers of Amnesty.
“I would never vote for this guy, Trump, absolutely never, says Republican businessman and former Fresno Latino Rotary President David Leon. I think he is out of his mind. “
I don’t expect Trump to do too hot in the CENTRAL VALLEY OF CALIFORNIA, where the entire economy depends on Illegal Immigrant labor (drive SR99 some time if you doubt me).
I wouldn’t judge all Hispanics by a small, special-interest, segment of them.
This story confirms how many illegal aliens are in the central San Joaquin Valley.

Of course there are a lot of good reasons behind Trump's rise, but I submit that whether it's a result of his upbringing, or living and working for his entire life in New York City, or assessing and critiquing contestants on his television show, Donald Trump KNOWS that he is not racist, and being secure in that knowledge allows him to do a number of things that nobody else in politics seems to be able or willing to do:*.:
1. Speak the truth as he sees it without fear of being labelled a racist. Most obviously, he knows that one can simultaneously hold no particular ill-will towards people of Hispanic descent and at the same time take a "hard-line" on immigration. The Left has everyone convinced that the desire for regulated immigration is motivated by hatred for Hispanics and nothing else. Trump's obviously and loudly not buying it.
2. Trump knows that others, i.e. the base, who see the same truths that he sees are also not racist. Thus, he speaks to them with respect and appreciation, as opposed to calling them "heartless" "crazies". People naturally respond favorably.
3. Trump is able to directly confront and battle political correctness, which can be boiled down to a speaking in such as way as to avoid saying anything that could remotely be construed as racist, with violations severely policed by the outrage machine, which is of course controlled by the Left. Trump is free to speak his mind freely without fear of the outrage machine.
4. Trump is not afraid to enter the mainstream media "lion's den" where other Republicans dare not tread for fear that they will be tricked into saying something racist. Trump fearlessly confronts all sorts of mainstream media, multiple times daily.
5. Trump advocates FOR America as against its competitors and enemies. The fact that our trade and diplomatic "deals" benefit others at our expense is a feature not a failing. The elites are embarrassed about America's relative strength in the world and seek a more "equal" world. Trump is a full-throated patriot who wants America to win, even if that means other nations lose. He's far from alone in this.
6. Trump doesn't pander, which is actually patronizing to those minorities who respect themselves. Martin O'Malley apologizing for saying that "all lives matter" and Yeb Bush calling illegal entry "an act of love" might seem to make them "sensitive" to minority concerns, but it's not winning either of them any votes. Trump treats minority voters no different than other voters, and that includes telling them the truth as he sees it, even if their "leaders" don't like it. And he still expects to win their votes.
7. Trump won't be cowed by minority activists. Bernie Sanders gave over the microphone at his own rally to Black Lives Matter; Trump would've fought to hold on to it. Trump threw Jorge Ramos out of his press conference because he failed to wait his turn to ask a question. Trump will not give anyone a "pass" by virtue of their minority status; everyone has to play by the same rules.
I could go on, but I'll end here by saying that the Left and the GOPe are throwing everything they have at Trump because he is a mortal threat to one of their most important rackets: the fear of being labelled a racist.
*Note: In the interest of brevity, I'm going to just address racism here, but the point is probably equally valid as it relates to sexism and other forms of alleged bigotry such as xenophobia, homophobia, Islamophobia, etc.
I grew up in California. I can tell you, hispanics are some of the most intolerant ethnic bigots there are.
I would never vote for this guy, Trump, absolutely never, says Republican businessman and former Fresno Latino Rotary President David Leon. I think he is out of his mind.
As can be expected of one disciple of the cheap labor lobby.
Criminals, their accomplices, families and associates don’t like the chief of police.
I’m glad a political scientist was available to explain this to us.
That’s a real shocker. Go Trump!
But they don't cite polling.
And the reason is it's not true.
Citizens of Mexican heritage are split on Trump.
You know, the one's who can legally vote.
> “I would never vote for this guy, Trump, absolutely never, says Republican businessman and former Fresno Latino Rotary President David Leon. I think he is out of his mind.”
Well Señor Leon, el Presidente de los Rotarios, you can join the other losers in November 2016 because you are going down.
I will bet the Latino community will shuffle right over to El Donald when they see they see he’s a sure winner while Leon and Ramos remain in the loser circle.
