One suggested that Trump might not even want to win.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is quickly losing some of his Hispanic advisers and supporters after a hardline anti-undocumented immigrant speech on Wednesday.
Jacob Monty, an immigration lawyer based in Houston, withdrew his support, and at least two other members of Trump’s National Hispanic Advisory Council have followed suit.
Monty said Trump’s speech made him question whether the businessman even wants to win.
“Maybe this is part of a media play where he wants to create a media empire that will focus on the millions of nativists that believe that the country needs to control immigration,” he said Thursday to Craig Melvin on MSNBC Live, “And if that’s his play, it will be good and he’ll have millions of followers. But he won’t win the presidency.”
Monty suggested the same in a Facebook post on Wednesday. Trump has reportedly discussed starting his own media venture.
Trump switch back to his hardline policies cost him the support of several other Hispanic advisers as well.

Hispanics must be dizzy from Trump's constant spinning on immigration. How could anyone really know what his position is on anything!? He sounds like he's trying to be all things to all people - consequently not being anything to anyone except his hard-right base.
