It's become one of his loudest, most frequently repeated boasts. As polls have shown him surging to the top of the Republican pack, Donald Trump has made a point of asserting his particular strength among Hispanic voters.
"I have so many Hispanics, and they love me," Trump said during a speech in Laconia, New Hampshire, last week. "And interestingly, we just got from the state of Nevada a poll [that] just came out, and Trump won with a tremendous amount. And the second line was, 'Takes Hispanic vote in a landslide,' and I've been saying that. I'm going to win the Hispanic vote."

And the idiots don't realize that as the low-information voter surfs for the latest articles about the Kardashians, he runs across this Trump Guy and says, "Gee, I didn't know about that. He makes sense."
Especially nowadays when more people get their political news from shows like “The Daily Show”. HuffPo is playing right into Donald’s hands. He is the one Republican who can get a significant amount of the Low-Info Vote percentage.
