How well must GOP do among Hispanics to win in 2016?
The GOP has a huge mountain to climb to win the Hispanic vote, and Trump is not making it easier. It is just incredible that all the work that the GOP has done to enlarge its base has been undone by Trump in just a few months.
Trump supporters really do not care if they lose the Hispanic vote.
Note: I am not a supporter of Trump and believe if the GOP does not flush him soon they will not be able to save their chances to win this next November.

any conservatives from the outset urged the Republican Party not to go with Romney, figuring he was another moderate Republican destined to lose -- like John McCain.
McCain Beats Romney!
So those are the FACTS as to how Obama won re-election by a small margin of 3 million votes.
So all that is needed is the same number of Latin-American voters BUT this time White Americans being so truly embarrassed by voting for Obama
WILL make up the 6 million difference increasing just 14% more White Votes.
We elect by electoral votes NOT popular vote
Ask President Gore, he can explain it to you
I swear these idiots do not understand how elections work and believe the popular vote is the only thing that matters.
These idiots believe that in states with growing Minority populations like Texas will stay red if Trump is the candidate while the reality it will most likely turn blue and give the Democrats another state.
GOP will not win states like California, New York or Illinois with a candidate like Trump, and they could lose states like Texas while at it, but that extra white vote in South Dakota or South Carolina will make them happy while not understanding you need the Electoral College to win!
