is polling at above 90% in those communities, then obviously there are some who are not overly concerned.

I have an aquaintance who is Mexican. His parents came here illegally before he was born but are now citizens. He is and always has been a staunch conservative, but in the end always falls in line with the Republican party. He claims now to be horrified at Trump and thinks he's a con man. However I can guarantee every single thing that I own and cherish that in the end he will be voting for Trump because less than any particular position he holds, he hates Democrats and liberals more than anything.

I wouldn't place bets that he is the only Latino who feels and votes that way. Although I hope not too many.

I've never loathed anyone the way I loathe Trump. I'll never forget the racist, sexist things he's said and done, and I'll do my damndest to make sure he NEVER becomes president.

Romney received 27% of the Hispanic vote and he never went out of his way to disrespect them and make them a scapegoat.

It's only fitting that the very groups he's attacked nonstop since his campaign began will also be his electoral downfall. Just desserts.
