It's antidotal and hardly scientific evidence but something Jeb Bush and Cruz certainty weren't getting.

My point is I won't be surprised if we see more support coming Trumps way from Black communities around the country where job creation is strong selling point.

When it comes to the Latino voting bloc, one thing is clear: it's not monolithic. They went Democratic for Obama in 2012 (71%).

But George W. Bush garnered 44% of the Hispanic vote in 2004 -- the best showing ever for a Republican.

There are Cuban-Americans in the mix who tend to be Republican and conservative, Puerto Ricans who have recently moved to Florida voting Democratic and Mexican-Americans who are all over the place ... just to name a few.

In the end, it's probably too early for Trump to say that he's "No. 1 with Hispanics."

But it's also too early to say that he's not, in spite of the anti-immigrant rhetoric that has alienated a significant portion of this voting bloc.

Did Nevada really show Trump has solid Hispanic support? - CNNPolitics.com
It's never too early to say he's not #1 with Hispanics--it's the height of idiocy to even suggest that.

16% of Hispanics in Nevada are registered Republicans. The rest are registered Democrats (55%) or Independents (29%).

Trump won less than half that 16% total, which means that 93% of the Latino vote went to someone other than him. Sounds about right.

She clearly laughs about the unreliable nature of the polygraphs, not the alleged rape of a 12-year old child.

I apologize to Perez Hilton for equating his credibility to this right-wing garbage.

When Trump said he was "No. 1 with Hispanics," he was referring to entrance polls showing that among Hispanic Republicans who participated in Tuesday's Nevada caucuses, 45% voted for him, compared to 27% for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, a Cuban-American; and 18% for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, also a Cuban-American.

For a candidate who accused Mexicans immigrants of being "rapists" and "killers" and has repeatedly promised that he will build a wall between Mexico and the United States (a promise he reiterated Tuesday saying Mexico will pay for it), winning Hispanics was indeed a significant victory.

Women are 51% of the population. I realize Trump has some wildly devoted women supporters of a certain demographic, but do you think women outside of that demographic would ever vote for him? Trump seems to think women are only of value if they are half naked on a stage. He's already traded in two wives and is on his third. He likened his love life as his own personal Vietnam (since he got out of Vietnam with a bone spur).

There are 40% of eligible voters that dont go out and vote. Trump will get them to come out. He energized this party with new voters. I'm feeling Trump will win NY, NJ, and CA. Historic red and blue states will be redefined in this election.

He did NOT call ALL Mexicans rapists.

He did call A fat woman fat, ugly and a disgusting pig. Not I did NOT say he called ALL women, just Rosey.

"they sell Hillary pins that liken her to KFC but with fat thighs and small breasts? '

Why is it that you DON' like the truth?

She has been called "Thunder Thighs" for decades.

" I realize" that you are a bleeding heart dem and will twist everything said to defend your candidate.

I'd bet you NEVER defended one single repub in your life.

BUT, he is NOW.

Many politicians change parties when the parties change their ideals. It is NOTHING new.

I have noticed though, that it seem MANY MORE dems change to repubs then the other way around.

It's very hard to change "absolutely not" to "yes."
"Millions of women don't like Trump." So what?

Millions of women DO like Trump and have voted for him.

In some states he has gotten over 50% of the woman vote.

OK. So there are more Black people in SC than there was in 2012. I'm not sure about that, but lets go with it. SC will still vote Red.

Case Closed.

BTW, Hillary Clinton is no Bill Clinton.

Vanity Fair, Politico. If you believe ANYTHING what they say on politics, I have a bridge for sale for you.

Now THAT must be a FIRST!
