Donald Trump: 'I Will Win the Latino Vote'

Shooting fish in a barrel was never this easy. The man is a giant target.

"I have a great relationship with the Mexican people. I have many people working for me - look at the job in Washington - I have many legal immigrants working with me. And many of them come from Mexico. They love me, I love them," the 2016 GOP contender said in an interview with NBC News. "And I'll tell you something, if I get the nomination, I'll win the Latino vote."

The evidence is piling up that Trump is either off his meds or digging himself a deeper and deeper hole.

He simply doesn't know when to shut up.

in 2016.

He would need to do some massive mea culpas and bridge building to move that in any significant way and there is no indication he is willing to do that.

That ought to make the Puerto Ricans and the Central Americans feel all warm and fuzzy when they see the name Trump.
