6. No surprise

This shouldn't be a surprise despite Trump's bleating that he took 45% of the Latino vote in Nevada. The number of Hispanics voting Republican is minuscule at best. Lawrence O'Donnell said that only about 1% of registered Hispanic voters participated in the Republican caucus.

Forty-five % of zip is . . . zip.

On the other hand, Hillary Clinton won big in the 'number' of Nevada's Hispanic votes. Come November, the Trumpster will be rolled over by his very words. Because the GOP has not paid attention to their own autopsy report from 2012. They cannot win a national election by alienating the minority voter. I would suggest that the threat of deporting 12 million people is not a winning position, let alone a sane one.

It's the arithmetic, stupid.
