Trump pinatas are hit in Hispanic communities

Donald Trump is leading in some polls in the Republican race for president, but the controversial anti-immigration candidate is also taking some hits -- literally.

In Mexico, the Trump piñata is a popular item.

"They are the talk of the town," said Hector Barajas, a strategist for the Republican Party.

Watch report: Trump pinatas arrive in Sacramento

Barajas has four of the piñatas at his Elk Grove home. His family brought them up from Mexico and they may be the first to enter California.

Barajas posted pictures on Facebook and quickly generated 115 likes.

"I've got friends coming up from everywhere saying, 'I want one, I want one, I want one,'" Barajas told KCRA 3.

The piñatas are a hit in the Hispanic community following Trump's comments during his presidential campaign announcement last month.

I remember seeing them in videos from Trump's recent Arizona appearances.

Though she is not Mexican, she is a progressive, so I'm sure she'd love to take a swing! Of course, she is not likely to be palling around with repuke strategists.
