Hispanics are reduced to taco vendors. Not doctors, teachers, plumbers, nurses ...

Just stupid taco jocks.!

Dems like to over look the fact that Latinos are Americans too.

So the WaPo is stating that the average legal Hispanic is offended by Trump’s statements on illegal aliens?

Honestly it's a mixed bag. We know there is a good chunk of people who came to the country legally who resent illegals. But there are also many who are some combination of children of illegals, relatives of illegals or just in a large community where the unspoken truth is that many of their friends and neighbors are illegal.

Add to this the allure of emotion based politics, natural human tribalism and a pocket full of free stuff and rationalism is left at a severe disadvantage.

what? you mean calling them “Taco Bowls” in leaked emails is not working out too well?

What it comes down to is even in Spanish, Clinton is an awful candidate that nobody wants.

I agree, it’s very mixed. The idea that there’s a clear legal/illegal divide is a silly fallacy, especially when so many families are mix of the two.

Well in fairness, their usual strategy - point a finger at the Republican candidate and scream, “RACIST!” - doesn’t seem to be having the same affect anymore.
