I have thought this all along. There is no hidden vote for Trump and if anything it is the opposite...... and Hispanics are voting in droves. I talked yesterday to a Mexican American friend I have known for years. He is not active politically but says everyone he knows is voting. When he started talking about Trump his voice was shaking. He compared him to Hitler. I tried to settle him down assuring him that everything was going to be okay.

I am convinced that at this point the election is baked in. Trump is going down. The question now is whether Republican Senators go down with him.
