To be fair: not all "Hispanic" people believe in amnesty for illegal aliens even IF most of their kind are also Hispanic. Too; MOST people in the US are still anglo white and, we're the swing vote, make us mad and we can landside the vote either Dem OR Repub.

Seventy-nine percent of Hispanic voters polled find Trump’s comments offensive, and 71 percent hold an unfavorable view of Trump.

[Clinton would] fare even better in a matchup against Trump, where she wins the Hispanic vote by a 70 to 16 percentage point margin.

Not all, but 71% or so, apparently.

True but there is somewhat of a limited potential for anglo whites causing a landslide, because just about 60% of all white voters had already voted for Romney in 2012. Of the remaining anglo whites, those who identify themselves as a "liberal" or "very liberal" are not going to vote for a Republican. And with Hillary or Bernie, there is no racial considerations involved, like Obama.

This I'll say: IF Hispanics as a group are so gung ho for amnesty for at least Hispanic illegal aliens, then the illegal lovers NEED to leave the US. Period.

We're long overdue for a civil war. Let's do this and may the best group win.
It's the only way to settle all this stupidity once and for all, I mean once and until the next time.

LOL! This poll is from early July. People were still saying that Trump wasn't even in this back then.

Second, you make the fundamental mistake of believe that all hispanics block vote. They don't.

I found it fascinating that NBC's Nightly News with Lester Holt raised the spectre of King Hillary going down before the first vote is cast. They made the point that her poll numbers are dropping fast.

If NBC will say this about a Clinton, then you know it must be really bad.

The panic at the DNC must be at the point where people are fouling themselves when they look at their alternatives.

LOL.

The democrats arent worried about Hillary. They have alternatives still that are sane, and reasonable. Bernie is incredibly popular, even among many Republicans.

Name one sane, and reasonable Republican that hasn't mentioned any of the following:
Lowering taxes on the rich
Lowering social security

etc etc.

You didn't do much for you argument by equating a hard core Socialist as someone who would be sane and reasonable for US President.

Then again, the #1 choice is a 70 year old woman whose only real claim to fame is that she is the estranged wife of a President who left office close to 2 decades ago.

My wife is Hispanic, which means all of my extended family members are Hispanic. I work for a large corporation, which I estimate to have 80% Hispanic employees. I'm around these people every day, and believe me, I don't know of a single one who has any use for the illegals coming over the border. All the Mexicans I know call the illegals "Wets!", not exactly a term of endearment.

Bernie Sanders doesn't have a change in heck of winning the election, even if all the other candidates from both parties drop out and leave him as the only candidate running.
You won't vote for him either, he is a socialist and if he were to win, he would take away your home and your car.. People are loving him now because he is the anti-hillary, he has zero future in politics..
