Read one poll today which said that Trump has ZERO% support among African Americans. If his Latino support is at 20% (really?), who is supporting him? Angry white Men? What is Trump's support among women? Do you really think this is at 50+%, especially given that females can also be African American and Latina? Damn, he has a LOT of Republican voters not supporting him either.
Saw another Poll which put Trump's chances at winning the Presidency at 29%. Perhaps, voters today do not like either candidate, but will go with who they dislike, and FEAR, the LEAST.
For a whole lot of voters, this seems to be Hillary. I saw a car recently with two Bumper Stickers. One said, "Bernie for President". Next to that was one which said, "Ok. Fine. Hillary it is". My feelings entirely as an Elderly White Woman in Florida.
Angry white men? Why would you make a such a comment?
New York, The Donald's Home State, also has a very large percentage of Hispanic voters going back generations, besides Democrats outnumbering Republicans 2 to 1. Hillary was elected as Senator too. Trump will not only lose California to "Hispanic" voters, but New York as well. Your "own" knows you very well.
Florida? Well, Florida has an extremely large Hispanic population, as well as a lot of Transplants from the NE. Who won Florida last Election? Romney or Obama?
This is how naive and uninformed you are. If not even one Hispanic in NY or CA voted at all this election, Hillary would still win those states. They are very much controlled by democrats and have been so for years. The Hispanic vote in NY and CA means nothing. Trump will never lose CA or NY because of the Hispanic vote. He'll lose it to liberal white people. The only thing the Hispanic vote does in these states is make her winning margin somewhat larger which doesn't matter worth a hill of beans since it won't effect the Electoral College.
In reality, the Hispanic vote therefore is largely wasted in states that don't need their votes to elect Hillary, given that CA alone has the largest percentage of Hispanics in the country.

On the other hand, the Latino vote in states like Colorado and Nevada are critical. And it's a pretty important factor in Florida. Ignore these at your peril...
Did you read the article you linked? Sorry--unimpressed that three Hispanics are endorsing Trump.
"...Aguilar acknowledged other Hispanic Republicans are not joining their group and not all members of the coalition that during the primaries had publicly condemned Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz over their comments about immigrants and their deportation proposals joined in the endorsement of Trump.
Artemio "Temo" Muniz, chairman of the Federation of Texas Republicans who is attending the convention as a delegate for Cruz, declined to endorse Trump.
Despite the group's announcement, most of the high-profile Hispanics in the GOP, such as Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez, Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval and Florida's Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart and Rep. Carlos Curbelo are not attending the convention..."
I honestly believe the great majority of Hispanic voters will NOT vote for Trump.
Floridian Hispanics are mostly Cubans though they aren't Mexican-Americans. They tend to be conservatives and don't have an interest in amnesty as most Cubans aren't here illegally. The southwest is a whole different ball of wax.
Actually older Cubans tend to vote GOP based on that parties' pandering on the issue of Cuba hence how somebody like Rubio got elected from Miami.
The younger Cubans voted heavily for Obama twice & won Miami-Dade county. The second largest Hispanic group in Florida are Puerto Ricans who favor Dems.
Both of these groups have no stakes in the immigration issue since they are legal residents & US citizens but are offended by Trump's remarks toward their fellow Hispanics.
I predict he will lose their votes here in Florida.
Here is a link to the video with spokesman for the group expressing his views.
He states he has to consider the overall good of the nation and is supporting Trump. This is the intelligent choice which make perfect sense and no doubt others will come to the same conclusion.
Crooked Hillary is unacceptable and dangerous with poor judgement who doesn't have the temperament or strength of character necessary to hold the office of president. Her vast experience of failure is like one year of failure repeated over and over. She created her own glass ceiling where her level of incompetence simple can't advance.

No one is ignoring these. The subject was CA and NY where many libs falsely believe the Hispanic vote will make a difference and is vital in these states. It won't, and it's not.
The con is just as easily the one you put forward. The con is crooked Hillary and her criminal syndicate along with the con her glassy eyed minions have bought into. Everyone feels like they have been conned when the one they vote for doesn't preform the way they expect. That is crooked Hillary and Obama both. What a tremendous opportunity they have wasted with their failure to lead and preform as they set the M.E. on fire.
That is what this respected group of Hispanic leaders are saying.
I'll tell you what I say, any insult that Hillary throws at anyone else, is certainly not credible....she was unable to perform and lead, many times and proved it, when she didn't use her emails correctly, when she allowed soldiers of the U.S. to fend for themselves and be cut down, and she stands there and bullies others?
Then her husband has a privet meeting on a jet, that gets her off....POLIZE?
Phma, stay the course and believe, no matter what!
Trump may not be perfect, but he certainly is a whole lot more qualified then Hillary, and BTW, remember how they said, Obama was the anti-christ?
Its your vote, use it....
