73% of Hispanics think Donald Trump is racist

After 2012, as everyone on the planet knows by now, the Republican Party put together a plan aimed at increasing its support from Hispanic voters, after Mitt Romney did worse with the group than John McCain had in 2008 -- and McCain himself had done worse than George W. Bush in 2004. The idea was to shift fortunes with Hispanic voters before 2016 to reverse that trend.

And then Donald Trump won the nomination.

A new survey from Univision released on Thursday shows that nearly three-quarters of Hispanics in the United States not only dislike Donald Trump, but actively think he is a racist.

2. Where I work 100% of Latinos think he's a racist

I'm lucky enough to work in California in UC Berkeley where the racial mixture is extensive and includes people from all countries, and religions.

I haven't met a single person who thinks Trump is anything other than a racist.

6. Guns, Cops, Money Hispanics & those that "think" they are Money Hispanics, evangelicals

I have several of these in my family. Most of us get when they say, "Mexican" we know they mean Latinos. Republicans think we don't see that, but we do.

4. These polls are devastating for Trump

And rightly so. Frankly, I'm surprised "only" 73% of Hispanics feel that way.

5. I'm guessing the 20% who say no simply didn't understand the question,

and the 7% who don't know are fortunate enough to have never heard of him.

7. I know many Latinos who support him

Sadly, they side with him on religious issues (e.g. deport all Muslims) and some economic issues, and they don't realize that he'd love to send them back to Mexico/Central America/South America even though they were born and bred in the US.
