If Martinez really wanted to bring in Hispanic voters to Trump, why she was AWOL at the presumptive GOP nominee’s only rally in her state? Get real, she is scared of the La Raza crowd. Which I do not understand because she is term limited for governor. May be she wants to run for US Senate.
Naw, she is the gov of a small state that is probably 60-70% dems and she has to walk a fine line. He showed his ignorance by saying she was elected in 2000 when in actuality she was elected in 2010. Just because she is not in his corner 100% is no reason for him to attack her and insult the whole state. Kinda like Cruz and NY values, even though it was an almost direct quote from Trump himself the sentiment lasted a long time and hurt Cruz.
It will hurt Trump, he will almost surely lose NM now. Let’s just hope he does not need those 5 electoral votes.

I think you may have something there. Last Saturday, just a few days before the rally for the presumptive GOP nominee, we had the republican convention over at the Sandia Resort and Casino to elect our delegates for Cleveland and the new state party chair. Susana DID make a brief appearance and gave a short speech, but given the tension and division between both the race for party chairman, as well as the division between those who wanted to be delegates in the hopes of a brokered convention for Cruz (most of them bailed out and didn’t even show up) and delegates who wanted to represent the will of the voters, Susana just sort of magically arrived, gave her speech, and disappeared immediately afterwards. I do believe she thought she would be dealing with a hostile group, and she was right, at least in part.
I worked hard to get her into office the first go round, but by the time she needed to run for her second term I wasn’t so anxious to help anymore. IMHO, she surrounded herself with undesirable advisors, more interested compromising principles, thinking that’s the way to stay in office, than doing the right thing. And THAT’s exactly what Trump is criticizing her for. Trump hasn’t lost New Mexico, but it will be an uphill battle due to all the moronic socialists in this state!
