US Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Endorses Hillary Clinton, John Kasich

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/us-hispanic-chamber-commerce-endorses-hillary-clinton-john-kasich-n564236

The nation's largest Latino business group today announced that it is endorsing Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican John Kasich for president, bypassing Ted Cruz, the only Latino left in the presidential race.

"Secretary Clinton has stood with the USHCC and the Hispanic community at-large for decades," USHCC president and CEO Javier Palomarez said in a statement. "For more than 40 years, Secretary Clinton has fought to ensure that those who are willing to work hard in America have the opportunity to get ahead and stay ahead."
...
This is the first time ever that the group endorses any presidential candidate. USHCC advocates on behalf of the nation's more than four million Latino-owned businesses that together contribute $661 billion annually to the U.S. economy.

the Hispanic CoC has effectively endorsed the Democratic candidate and ONLY the Democratic candidate for the GE.

See how that works?

." On the Democratic side, Clinton leads Vermont independent Sen. Bernie Sanders, whom Palomarez dismissed in a statement as having “empty rhetoric and lackluster record"

Everyone sees through his "look at me"campaign.
With repulsive pullback & eyerolls, they proudly announced,
"This is the first time ever that the group endorses any presidential candidate."
