Angered by Trump and Cruz, Hispanic conservatives plan ‘unprecedented’ meeting
The Washington Post ^ | 10/22/2015 | Ed O'Keefe

Posted on 10/22/2015 5:31:01 PM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Months since Donald Trump sparked outrage with his comments about Mexican immigrants, about two dozen of the nation's top Hispanic conservative activists are joining forces to respond and issue a warning to the Republican Party.

The activists plan to meet on Oct. 27 in Boulder, Colo., the day before GOP presidential candidates meet in the same city for a debate hosted by CNBC. Plans for the "unprecedented gathering" have been in the works for several weeks, according to organizers, who shared the details first with The Washington Post.

Attendees will be "the people and organizations the RNC and GOP campaigns count on to engage the Latino electorate," said Alfonso Aguilar, head of the American Principles Project's Latino Partnership and a lead organizer of the meeting. "We’ll discuss the tone of the primary, comments about the Hispanic community and some of the immigration proposals that have been made."

I’m just indicating that the emphasis (AKA: CAPS) should be on the word “appears” rather than the “mad at Trump/Cruz”.

The media is rather good at redirecting angst.

Latino Conservatives would never meet in the people’s republic of Boulder. That in itself explains the true nature of the story.

The only thing unprecedented would be for nobody to show up to a complaint fest.

I’ve seen references to supporting Trump all over the internet, with Hispanic surnames.

This is silly. Legal Hispanics get it. If Trump just pulls in 25% of the Hispanic vote, he’ll have done better than most Republicans.

I mean seriously right?

What kind of ‘Hispanic conservative’ will fail to acknowledge that there are rapists, gangbangers, murderers and even much worse streaming across that open border.

We can definitely live without them trying to steer the agenda.

Hyphenated Americans with dual citizenship are fake Americans.
If they want to lobby for the North American Union, they can go to Hell or back to Mexico.
