MIAMI -- Poll workers in Kendall, a heavily Hispanic suburb about 30 minutes southwest of downtown Miami, said they expected light lines on Tuesday due to unprecedented early voting. About a dozen people were lined up a library precinct before polls opened at 7 a.m. Shortly after a man driving a red pick-up truck with a large Trump sticker sporting two huge American flags drove by blasting his car's horn while shouting "Trump, Trump, Trump."

A handful of voters, including electrician Alfredo Trejo, 50, said they were voting for Trump mostly due to concerns over Clinton's handling of issues ranging from Benghazi to her email scandal.

"They all show she's a person who can't handle the presidency," Trejo said.

Others said they believed Trump's comments about Hispanics and women had been overblown.

"What man doesn't say those kinds of things when he's with his friends," said 56-year-old Vivian Leon. "I have four brothers, I grew up hearing those kinds of things all the time."

I wish I could have this man talk to every single Newmedia talking head who has spun the myth about "racist Trump".

With a first name Vivian, I think it’s a woman?

Hispanics are not a monolithic voting block. That's a lie that the uniparty elites want us to believe.

Check out CNN now with the volume off—see what you think.

(It looks like a CNN funeral procession to me.)

I know a lot of conservative Hispanics. They are Americans, not illegals. That’s why I posted that, the dems think they have the Hispanic vote locked down, but in truth most citizen Hispanics don’t like the illegal invasion anymore than anybody else.

Vivian is a man's name in UK along with Beverly, etc.

In the Spanish language it's Viviano which translates to Vivian in English.
Viviano is not an uncommon male name in Latin culture

Exactly! the disgusting media, elites won’t point out a lot of things re: Hispanics. One is that Trump will get votes from LEGAL Hispanics.

A big liberal “latino interests” group just posted a poll of hispanics showing Trump with about the same support as Romney had. And rising.
http://latinousa.org/2016/11/07/trump-almost-23-final-new-latino-voice-pre-election-tracking-poll/

Totally destroys the media’s narrative- so they’ve said nothing about it.

And now they’re making a big thing out of the fact that it is “county” not “country”. Like, how do they think a county in Utah can report national problems? Typo obvious.

Yes! I think it is so insulting to Latino and black voters that dems treat them as monolithic groups that they can pander to every four years and forget about.

Hillary is the worst with her damn hot sauce. She’s embarrassing.

Trump has nailed it with school choice, which the much ballyhooed Obama KILLED as soon as he took office.

Alveda King was on Varney this AM and she said that some in the black community are waking up and thinking as an individual and not just a black person. That is the dems nightmare with any of their groups.
