Get ready for the anti-Trump “resistance” to go truly loco, because new polling data indicates Hispanic support for the president is swelling, a trend that could seal his 2020 re-election victory. When I helped lead the Trump Hispanic Advisory Council in 2016, our effort was widely derided by skeptics certain that the narrative of Trump as anti-Latino would doom his candidacy, particularly in heavily Hispanic states like Florida. But that November, Hispanics saw through the media smears and Trump massively outperformed dour expectations, actually surpassing Mitt Romney’s 2012 percentage among Latino voters. Since then, prospects have only

Most people like having viable employment with rising wages. Latinos are no exception. They can be just as smart as (smarter than!) the Fancy-Pants Media Folks.
"Blessed be the Trump that binds our hearts in American love. The fellowship of legal souls is like to that above."

If democrats were persuaded that Hispanics really prefer Trump, the wall would be fully funded tomorrow. Legal Hispanics are beginning to understand that their jobs and wages are also threatened by illegal immigration. Democrats just want more potential voters, the less educated, the better.

Need to turn the immigration angle against the Dems, by pointing out how they are not concerned with a legal process, but how they can find ways to cut-in-line by advising everyone to demand asylum, which shortens the process of gaining legal status to only 3-5 years compared to the 10+ it normally takes.
Many of those coming to America are not going to the high-end communities of Manhattan, Martha´s Vineyard, Malibu, and Silicon Valley.
They are going to impacted inner-cities which will then put pressure on social services, schools, and wages for those who arrived say 5-10 years ago and finally climbing up the economic ladder.

The Hispanics they are talking about are mostly all native US citizen Hispanics and not socialist minded Illegal alien foreign origin Hispanics. There is a big difference!

El Popo de Cabelo! Heads are exploding all over the corporate lefty media establishment. Hispanics are not like most blacks. They know which side of the bread the butter is on. Like most everyone else, they want jobs, decent wages, and to be treated with respect. There really is a huge difference between the Latinos that came here legally and those that are jumping over our walls.

Being American is a frame of mind, not a shade of skin or ethnicity. Believing that our Constitution and way of life are worth upholding & fighting for. That I believe is the Trump message to every American plain & simple.

"the man whom the mainstream media most attempted to vilify as anti-Latino"
This is the Left´s worst fear and WHY they tried so vociferously to brand Trump as anti-Latino (and anti all minorities, anti women, racist, etc.); they are scared of the truth. The truth is that the dem party has done little to help the minorities that have voted for it.
Trump has.
In doing so he has highlighted a fundamental truth, that the best way to get "help" is to help yourself through economic opportunity and effort. You don´t need or even want government to help. Government always takes more than it gives and what it gives is miserly at best. The idea of self help and government getting out of the way is a death knell to progressive policy.
But the dems have lost and the genie is out of the bottle because these people have experienced the truth. It doesn´t matter what the dems or media say because the PEOPLE know better.
If Trump gets anywhere near 50% of the Hispanic and Black vote, the dems are toast.

Lincoln was right.
You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people, all of the time.
Time´s up for the lying, propaganda Enemedia. Past their "believe up until" date.

When one Mexican moves into an American neighborhood you have a lucky Mexican. When ten thousand Guatemalans, El Salvadorians and Mexicans move into an American neighborhood you have a barrio. Hispanic Americans are smart enough to know it.

Add to this Kushner´s comment to Ingraham last night;
More Florida felons (now allowed to vote) are registering as Republicans rather than Democrats.
Oh, oh. Dems are gonna´ have a very bad day.

Boy, would that be a spear in Democrats rib cage. The lastest liberal victimology takes Hispanics for granted. Hispanics don´t rate as high as lesbians and homosexuals, gender benders, illegals, angry single middle aged women, abortion supporters and last and certainly least in Democrat world, blacks. Hispanics seem smart enough to figure out that blind Democrat devotion is the quickest way to end up like so many other minorities.

As the article points out, even a small shift in the Latino vote puts a lot of states ouch of reach for the Democrats. And even a few blue states will start to come into play.

I have been hoping all these yrs that the blacks would leave the democrat plantation but I fear the chains are way too thick to be broken.
On the other hand the Hispanics have not been totally brainwashed yet so the chances are much better that they will come to see economic opportunities are the best way to go for themselves and their families. Their religious views are completely different from the blacks and they have a deep sense of family which the blacks have had taken from them by years of welfare dependence. The black community is a matriarchal society which has failed on every level.
The hispanic community is patriarchal and the family unit is still strong which is what will be their greatest strength, since we know that an intact family structure is what is your greatest indicator of success in later life for a majority of people. Not that there are not exceptions but life is hard enough without being an orphan.
