Because Hispanics are just about the most diverse group in America, it's no surprise there are Hispanic Trump supporters out there. Nevertheless, Trump's comments regarding U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel put them in a jam. Curiel was born in Indiana, and as part of his duties, had to endure threats from Tijuana's Arellano-Felix narcotics cartel. If such a brave person isn't good enough for America, no Hispanic is, no matter how long their family has been in the country, or how well intermarried they are, or how many wars they've fought in, or how many taxes they pay. It's racism at its rawest - any trace of Latino blood is tainted. A photo op with taco salads can't bridge that gap. Trump-supporting Hispanics are forced to make a choice....
Republicans need to make their own choices. It's ironic they complain so much about Obama's constitutional activism, yet yield so easily to Trump's.
