Evidence of the damage that Trump, along with a decade plus of anti-Latino behavior is doing to the Republican Party is found in the fact that by a margin of 67%-19%, Latino voters are going to vote for the Democratic candidate for Congress.

But the foreman said that up until Wednesday he had been willing to give Trump a shot because of his economic message – at least until recently.
In the business, that’s called ground game – and Trump has little of it to speak of. “If he thinks that saying all these nasty things will help get him to the White House, he’ll say them”.
It’s a response that extends beyond the “mostly” right-leaning 53-year-old grandson of immigrants. He’s backed Trump, even though the celebrity real estate magnate has ridiculed McCain’s time as a prisoner of war and assailed immigrants in the US illegally, riling crucial Hispanic voters in the state and elsewhere. But young whites tend to trust Trump more on issues related to illegal immigration, including securing the border.
“Coloradans are exhausted of Washington politicians doing nothing to secure our border and they are pleased that Donald Trump has made ending illegal immigration a top priority in this campaign”.
The 2016 presidential election is going to have consequences for the Republican Party that go way beyond Donald Trump.
Trump has so far not released his medical records, and his campaign was widely mocked for a four-paragraph letter they released from his doctor earlier this year stating the billionaire would be “the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency”.
Trump also loses support from people who don’t like the tone of his campaign and find many of his statements offensive. If Clinton’s supporters are more motivated and GOP voters who now say they are prefer Republican House candidates decide to stay home instead of pulling the lever for Trump, the leads the GOP now holds in swing districts across the country could be wiped away. While Trump publicly maintains support from numerous high-ranking GOP officials, a striking number of discussions among Republicans in Washington often begin with an assumption that Clinton will be president come January.
“Reagan understood that to have a functioning national economy you need all kinds of workers to do jobs most Americans won’t do for what the job pays”, she said. “Those workers aren’t here”.
But despite the improving picture for Trump, Clinton remains the favorite to win.
Trump is seen as polarizing while Clinton’s character and trustworthiness is clouded by questions over what happened in Benghazi, how she handled her emails as secretary of state and whether there are conflicts between her government work and the Clinton Foundation, Rockway said.
Trump has sought in recent days to turn around his dismal standing among minorities.
Another August poll of Colorado found similar results.
The Clinton campaign and the super PAC account for 79 cents of every dollar spent on political television ad spending so far.
Forecasting models from the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics and Frontloading HQ have Clinton winning 347 electoral votes, which would be slightly better than President Obama’s showing against Republican Mitt Romney in 2012.
Another super PAC called Immigrant Voters Win – which is funded by liberal mega-donor George Soros – has steered $3 million for outreach efforts in the state. Democrats pulled in more than $12 million in July, after a successful national convention nominating Clinton, with the GOP raising just $4.6 million.
And as the two rivals get ready for their first presidential debate on September 26, Clinton is said to be preparing like a seasoned lawyer with briefing books and rehearsals.
“He insulted Hispanics”, said Sylvia Arriola, a 59-year-old administrator for a San Antonio company providing services to adults with special needs. “It is unsurprising that they hold two different views on this issue, and we look forward to continuing the conversation”, he said. “We have to be open and honest about the problems facing our nation”.

Gallego said that when he campaigns in Hispanic neighborhoods, he’s surprised people don’t say they dislike Trump.
