The article goes on to list seven reasons why the comments by Trump may be a problem. She's Latina, a female governor (and head of the Republican Governor's Association); Republicans need the votes of both of these groups. According to the author, after listing the seven problems including continued attacks on Republican's not yet on board with his win, all of them spell trouble ahead.

My own opinion is that Trump will be Trump and nothing anyone says or does will cause him to change his style or tone down his rhetoric. My hope is that Trump's leadership and forceful manner in other areas plus other circumstances (Hillary's problems and Bernie's nipping at her cankles) will drive the electorate to overlook Trump's negatives.

Such heartfelt "concern" from the Albuquerque Journal.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Martinez is a total establishment go along.

[TexasCruzin]

What Trump said was the unvarnished truth. Nothing more, nothing less. If that bothers anyone, too bad. Trump is just giving back as he always does.

[DarthVader]

Also the NM government did not do such a great job stopping the commie protests.

[JohnKinAK]

Good for him for calling out the RINOs! Imagine him having the bully pulpit of the Oval Office to shame the RINOs!!!

[fireman15]

So the gist is she is Hispanic and a woman so she is off-limits. They don’t seem to get that Trump is the Honey Badger of the political world, and the “Honey Badger don’t care”.

[Lib-Lickers 2]

she disrespected the Republican nominee for President just before he was to appear in her state,, she got what was coming to her.. and from what I hear she isn’t a very good Governor..

[Vigilanteman]

Trump being Trump is what gets him all the free publicity.

The news media runs with the story as if to say to the sheeple "Do you REALLY want to elect this loose cannon yahoo!"

And a lot of the sheeple respond "He's our yahoo and a lot better than your hand-picked looter!"

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

At a fundraiser in the Palm Beach mansion of billionaire David Koch last month

Yep, she really cares about New Mexicans. Just another GOPe hack upset that her apple cart is getting upended.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Any politician who does not stand with the citizens of the US and the rule of law deserves criticism.
We should not abandon the rule of law to “win”.
Pandering to “latinos” that includes any accomodation to illegal aliens is national suicide.

If we refuse to stand for up for our country, others will gladly take it from us.

[wardaddy]

Weren’t you a not for Trump guy before?

I did not keep an enemies list but perspective now is useful

[PGR88]

Stupid small-town newspaper progs still think Trump should follow the old script - pander to so-called representatives of women, latinos, or every group they have identified.

And then lose election because you have no message, and identity voters will not vote for a Republican anyway.

[waud]

Hillary and her goons would make quick work of Martinez.....the only real national exposure she’s had was a drunken confrontation with staff & police in a New Mexico hotel last December.

Trump’s going to pick someone who will punch Hillary and Slick Willy right back in the nose on ABC with George Stephen..Clinton hosting.

[Reno89519]

No, GOP needs to be rid of incompetent drunk politicians like Martinez.

[kabar]

Martinez snubbed the presumptive nominee of the party. She was too busy to attend his rally or meet with him. Trump is sending a signal to all those RINOs who refuse to endorse the nominee of the party. Trump had to sign a loyalty oath. Maybe that should extend it to governors and members of Congress.

I hope Trump gives an ultimatum soon to Ryan. I am tired of Trump trying to woo him. If no endorsement is forthcoming by June 7, Trump should publicly request that Ryan resign as chair of the convention, Enough is enough.

[ChinaGotTheGoodsOnClinton]

Yeah I agree he probably shouldn’t have said it.

But did you get to see the crowd reaction to these statements?

THEY WENT WILD CHEERING SUPPORT.

These comments caused the most audience support of anything he said at that speech.

[Carthego delenda est]

Whatever ‘concern’ this author from the Washington Post is expressing needs to be seen as the exact opposite path Trump should follow. This paragraph is a perfect example:

“Having a stiff upper lip is required of politicians at this level..... Mitt Romney, John McCain and George W. Bush all had to play nice with elements of the party that vociferously opposed them in the primaries. This is not just something you can do for a day or a week.”

Yeah, that’s the ticket, be more like Romney, McCain, and Bush during his last years. That worked out so very well for us.

[notaliberal]

Didn’t she have a drunken episode in a hotel recently that involved the police?

[headstamp 2]

Sounds like someone’s PC was injured by Trump’s speech.
