RIO RANCHO, N.M. — President Donald Trump has done little to expand his base since it carried him to victory 2½ years ago. Until now.
“We’ve over-performed with the number of Hispanics showing up to rallies each week, and the polling we’ve done today shows we can clearly win the state,” Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale told POLITICO as he mingled with supporters who arrived early for the president’s rally. Asked why he has so far refused to release those figures publicly, Parscale said it’s too early in the cycle to be parading out positive poll numbers.
“Winning New Mexico? If I had to put money on it, I don’t think he will,” Ramiro said, standing in line with a group of friends who joined him for the rally. The Trump campaign is betting that Hispanic voters like Perez will join independent voters in states like New Hampshire and Maine, where they believe the Democratic field’s progressive policy prescriptions are less attractive, to widen the base the president can count on next November. On Monday, Trump said he also expected to expand his appeal among “Venezuelans and Cubans” in parts of Florida, which is largely seen as his firewall in 2020.
“You’re doing better than any state in the United States,” he said. “How do I lose New Mexico? Explain that one. We’re here for a number of reasons, but we’re here because we really think we’re going to turn this state.”
He was Awesome. Latinos work too hard and too long to allow their state to be over run with illegal immigrants, overwhelm every school district, every health care agency, Crime, saturate their job market, drive wages down. Terrible. They will Support Trump.
Yes, The Man did a good job at it. Go on Politico act stupid you should be freaking out and your DNC Party you back realDonaldTrump is heating up
Waiting for the inevitable stories of rubes who believed his bloviating as they get deported claiming they never thought it would apply to them. Worse than a cliché.
Shows how desperate he is....only 25% of Latins support him. He’s frantically trying to shave off a few here and there because he knows his 2016 coalition alone won’t be near enough to win in 2020.
