Donald Trump just lost by a 74-14 margin in the Republican primary in Puerto Rico to a candidate who isn’t even in the running anymore. There goes the myth of Trump being able to gather support from Latino and Spanish-speaking voters out the window – since the numbers confirm the tepid 14% level of support he gets in national polls.

When you consider that Trump only polled 14% of members of his own party against literally nobody – in this case outgoing Florida Senator Marco Rubio – it means that Trump might get more like 7% of the latino vote in a general election, since presumably half or quite a few less than half of registered voters identify as Republican. It’s more proof that the media hyped up Trump for no reason when – for example, the majority of New York Latino Republicans, or that he won the majority of Nevada’s Latino Republican votes. Then it was revealed by CNN that Trump actually won 44% out of a sample size of only 125 Latino Republicans in Nevada.
