Last night, Ana Navarro had a slight meltdown on CNN during which she predicted that Trump’s support among Latinos was going to be the lowest in decades. She concluded her rant by saying that it would be “sweet, sweet justice if tonight it was the Latino vote that defeated Donald Trump.”
The percentage of Latinos voting have been ticking up. It’s gone from 8% to 10%. But also the percentage of Latinos voting for the Republican party has been ticking down. We went from 44% with George W. Bush to 31% with John McCain. And then we went to 27% with Mitt Romney.
I can assure you that Donald Trump is going to get historical low numbers among Latinos. He’s probably going to be in the teens. If he breaks 20% it’s a good a night for him with Latinos.
And it would be sweet, sweet justice if after everything he has said, after every attack he has made against Latinos, after he has thrown out Latino anchors from press events, after he hasn’t done any outreach, after he has questioned a judge’s citizenship, after he has called Mexicans rapists…it would be sweet, sweet justice if tonight it was the Latino vote that defeated Donald Trump.
Unfortunately for Navarro, “her people” abandoned her and Hillary last night, as exit polls from CNN suggest that Trump actually improved his margins with Latino voters by 8 points versus Romney’s performance in 2012. Per the Washington Examiner:
Exits polls published by CNN suggest that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump did better among Latino voters than his party’s 2012 nominee, Mitt Romney. Trump lost the Latino vote to Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton by a 29 percent-65 percent margin. That is significantly better than Romney did when he lost that demographic group to President Obama by a 27 percent-71 percent margin.
Trump was expected to do poorly among Latinos. He not only opposed immigration reform but promised to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico. He was widely criticized for his rhetoric on the issue, stating, for example, at his campaign launch that “rapists” were immigrating from Mexico. Liberal leaders like the AFL-CIO’s Richard Trumka denounced him as a racist. Romney eschewed such rhetoric though he also opposed immigration reform, calling for illegal immigrants to “self-deport.”
The results of the election left pro-immigration advocates stunned. “Wild swing of emotions. I’m in. This is my America, too. If we have to convince everyone else that #immigration is going to be ok, i am in,” tweeted Ali Noorani, executive director of the National Immigration Forum Action Fund.
And with that, Trump has seemingly improved the GOP’s margin among Hispanic voters while
doing virtually everything that liberals would have said would
repel them…turns out speaking truthfully and not patronizing entire swaths of the electorate is actually viewed favorably among voters.
