Univision has a piece up about Trump's meeting with Hispanic leaders:
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump plans to present an immigration plan in Colorado Thursday that will include legalizing millions of undocumented immigrants, according to three people present at a meeting the candidate attended Saturday with Hispanic leaders at Trump Tower in New York.

Somebody reposted it at the Freeper place and it's getting predictable responses"
Trump is finished if this is true!!!
crap.
who is left to vote for ?
He better dont
NOT ONE SINGLE INCH.
NOPE.
This changes everything for me.
If true, it is all over for Trump.
Others are maintaining (and praying) that it's misinformation being promulgated (of course, they didn't use polysyllabic words) by liberals.

(3,072 posts)Oh, thats a great idea.
Gain 50 Hispanic votes.
Demoralize 50 million current Trump supporters.
It was his toughness on illegal immigration that made him popular in the first place. If true, someone must have gotten to him.
Damn. He was our last hope. I really, really hope this isnt true.

(9,527 posts)50 million Trump supporters.
Romney in 2012 got about 61 million voters. So if they are starting out with an estimate that makes Trump, not just a loser, but a big loser, they are already on the road to accepting Clinton as the next President.
Either that, or the genius can't do math.
But it does highlight a real problem for Republicans going forward. They can likely hold the House for a while with the nutjob candidates due to gerrymandering, sometimes they can get the Senate, but their base seemingly can't allow a candidate that would generate widespread enough appeal to win the presidency. And their ability to hold the Senate is directly related to an ability to not nominate more Todd Akin like candidates, which they have trouble doing due to the nature of their base.
