Give him credit; he was up front about it.

Hispanic Florida GOP Spokesman Leaves The Party Over Donald Trump

Can't say I blame him. Trying to pitch Donald Trump to Hispanics in South Florida right now would really have to suck. Life's too short.

Yeah, I don't know how Trumps surrogate spokesperson types live with themselves.

I don't think Donald will win the majority of Hispanic voters on election day.

I'm unsure what percentage he will manage to capture ... 35%, 25%, 15% ???

How many Hispanic voters supported Mitt Romney four years ago anyway?

He's leaving because he said "he couldn't stand by Trump's repeated attacks against the Hispanic community."

Repeated attacks? He needs to stop watching MSNBC.

And that goes for those of you who are going to misquote Trump's positions on illegal immigration, you need to stop watching that channel as well.

I love it when Trump minions tell others how they "are not being attacked".
It's kind'a like the wife beater telling the wife it's HER fault that he's having to beat her as he pounds on her.
I got news for ya'- people KNOW when they are being attacked.

A few months ago I would have said 23-25 percent. Today I wouldn't be surprised if he got high single digits and low double digits.

Given that Trump is doing rather poorly in Florida among Hispanics (many who are GOP leaning), how does that play for Rubio's reelection?

The Hispanics should support Trump. The more illegals come the less job opportunities they have. Illegals undercut wage growth just like H1-B visas.
