8…Including powerful public figures in the Latin community
And celebrities, powerful Latin politicians and media personalities agree. Celebrities like America Ferrara (who is Honduran-American), singer Ricky Martin (who proudly hails from Puerto Rico) and Univision anchor Jorge Ramos, (who is Mexican) all have spoken out against Trump. And let’s not forget that Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto has condemned Trump, arguing that he is damaging US-Mexico relations.
9. But he does have the support of Hispanics in Nevada
Trump may have won the Republican vote in the Nevada caucuses, which is where he claims he won the support of Hispanics, but in reality, just 8% of the voters taking part in the GOP caucuses said they were Latinos. And since the Nevada caucuses were only open to registered Republican voters, you need to remember that the sample size is small. CNN reports, “The full sample size of voters captured by the polls was 1,573. That means Trump’s claim that he is “No. 1 with Hispanics” is based on about 125 registered Republicans.”
