Do Latinos Really Hate Trump?

No matter what the polls say.....do Latinos really hate Trump?

An interview by CBC with Latino in Florida, he said that there is a demographic group of Latinos that is in favor of Trump.

He did win in Florida. That, there are Latinos in favor of Trump, could be true anywhere else.

I don't think his comments about Mexicans being rapists and drug dealers is being taken literally that he meant all Mexicans are rapists and drug dealers. Latinos who fled to the USA seeking a better life would undoubtedly refuse to want the criminal elements they'd fled from to eventually establish itself in the USA. This one Latina fan had stated that:

So, what do you think? Are the Latino polls to be trusted?

Polls seem to have been proven wrong in Nevada.

Among the things Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump highlighted Tuesday night in his victory speech after winning the Nevada caucuses was that he carried the Latino vote.

Trump scores big win in Nevada

"You know what I'm really happy about, because we've saying it for a long time? Forty-six percent with the Hispanics! Forty-six percent! Number one with Hispanics!," the real estate mogul said.

In the end, it's probably too early for Trump to say that he's "No. 1 with Hispanics."

But it's also too early to say that he's not, in spite of the anti-immigrant rhetoric that has alienated a significant portion of this voting bloc.

I suppose they would have to be the Republican Latinos if they can vote in the primary. That would just be Juan and his brother, so it might not be the landslide support he's hoping for.

What if he said that about Canadians? 'Not all Canadians are rapists and drug dealers'.

Seriously, Betsy. You need to put on your critical thinking hat.

He pretty much said the Mexicans who come to the US are criminals and rapists... with a shrugging afterthought that some are perhaps good people.

" Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

You've got to understand first why he said that about Mexicans. What do you think is the problem with that border?

Context is important.

If I follow your lead in using Canadians, then he's most likely to say, "Not all Canadians are terrorists!"

Isn't that a fact?

Well, there is truth is what he said. Political correctness makes that truth sound quite abrasive to the politically correct!

Mexicans who fled Mexico due to crimes and corruption would agree to that! How many of them I wonder, would welcome those criminal elements to settle in the USA? Talk about your nightmares following you......

Will Mexicans come out and be vocal against these criminals - especially when you've also got the drug cartel?

Of course not. People who experienced oppressive regimes had learned to keep their heads under the radar.

So....I don't think those polls are accurately giving the true picture.
