Washington (CNN)Republicans seeking to broaden the party's appeal to Latino voters have a challenge: Donald Trump.
The bombastic businessman, who is seeking the GOP presidential nomination, is leaving many Republicans worried about the fallout from his comments that immigrants from Latin America are "killers" and "rapists."
"Donald Trump's comments are hurtful for the cause of Republicans who want to reach out not just to Latinos but across many different ethnic barriers," said Ben Domenech, founder of The Federalist, a conservative opinion website, who co-authored a 2012 guide for Republicans on Hispanic outreach. "The problem with those comments is made worse by the fact that people will continue to confuse Trump with a Republican, which he is not, as opposed to thinking of him as an entertainer, which he is."

“...the cause of Republicans who want to reach out not just to Latinos but across many different ethnic barriers,”
ok
Trump spoke the truth. If the so-called “Hispanic leaders” are griping about what Trump said, it is because their allegiance is to Mexico and not the United States.
Isn’t it nice of CNN to worry about the electability of GOP candidates?
Why does the GOP think that the number one issue among Latinos is getting amnesty for millions of illegal aliens?
Love he way CNN quoted Trump. One word. “Killer”.
Well, I have one word for CNN. “Pathetic”.
Maybe the GOP should start worrying about keeping white voters...
LOLOLOL.
We live in bizarro world where this post is about Trump is excoriated for truthfully pointing to high crime from illegal aliens and the very preceding one is about “WATCH – Democrat Icon/MSM Hero/La Raza Founder: ‘We Have Got To Eliminate The White Man...”
They need to worry MUCH more about McConnell, Boner, an out of control Roberts and Kennedy, illegals/crime
Sure, just put some ass-kissing elitist “moderate” in there who could care less about Average Joes. That’ll work!
I notice the Left is going all apoplectic over Trump and Cruz. Good. Those are the ones I want. Not the bendy spineless mealy mouthed Rinos like Jeb, Christie, and - yes - Rubio, too. If CNN likes ‘em, they don’t get my vote!
One can always tell how effective a policy is by the level of leftwing squealing it generates.
The GOP’s Uniparty behavior is really coming back to haunt them now.
If Trump can rally America’s Whites, the Republican party doesn’t need any Latinos. Besides, a majority of the legal Latinos don’t support the illegals.
Trump is the best piece of ass America has had in a long, long time.
He's sort of an unpolished Reagan
This is exactly why the Treasonists have been getting away with their crap for years, Republicans run and hide at the slightest sign of heat. ‘Waaaah! They called us racist for telling truth! Waaaaah!”
They’ve already lost their conservative base.
Yes, indeed. That is bigoted on its face.
It’s not like they care about jobs, family, safety, education. You know, the same stuff that others concern themselves about. Nope, it’s all about the next bunch of criminals, abusers, pedophiles Obambi can wave on over that will wind up in their neighborhoods.
Yep, that’s got to be what they want.
Bingo! So sweet of the Clinton News Nework to give republicans advice. Do they care that much about the RATS?
The only worry I’D have is ... if Trump DOES get dropped or drops out or whatever .... there is NO ONE to fill THAT particular void.
I’m detecting that Trump has a lot of respect for Cruz. The two, working together, would be impressive.
