Some of the pollsters have now admitted. as I eluded to in my earlier post, that they ignored answers they got that didn't fit their preconceived biases. They would reach a poor black female and she would say she was voting for Trump, obviously this is going to happen (so they thought) so she was ignored and put in the undecided column.

The other bias that happens is peer pressure. If you come up with an honest poll but your result is in the minority you are reluctant to publish it since you might be wrong and look stupid or get no more clients will to pay for your work.

Supposedly Trump maintained the same 27% of the Latino vote that Romney earned That is a bit of a shock as predictions were well under 20%.

Not a shock at all. Not all latinos love illegal immigration. The media assumes they do hence their shock.

The Cuban latino vote was heavily in favor of Trump.

Something to consider:

In 1992, the Republican Presidential candidate lost the popular vote.
In 1996, the Republican Presidential candidate lost the popular vote.
In 2000, the Republican Presidential candidate lost the popular vote.
In 2004, the Republican Presidential candidate won the popular vote.
In 2008, the Republican Presidential candidate lost the popular vote.
In 2012, the Republican Presidential candidate lost the popular vote.
In 2016, the Republican Presidential candidate lost the popular vote.

Not all future Democrat candidates will be as weak as Hillary Clinton.

There will never be a Democratic candidate as weak as Hillary Clinton again.

There will be a Republican candidate as weak as Donald Trump on the ballot in 2020. ;) Assuming he doesn't get impeached or get bored with the job or something...

With the GOP controlling the House, Senate, & Oval Office, starting in 2017, they will no longer have any excuses. The GOP will have to do something about illegal immigration. Will they?

You'd expect them to, certainly. It would also go along with Trumps mandate to create jobs for Americans. Now the question is will Americans be willing to do some of that work.

The California White Pool Boys Union will be pushing for the jobs ;-)

Likely something symbolic, non-useful and expensive. Hiring more border patrol guards, buying them more drones, etc.

The wall's a fantasy. It's the non-condition condition used for doing nothing. The marks believe it will be built. It won't be. Though it would be fun to see them try. You'd have ardent republicans and Trumpkins, like the ones we get here, tying themselves into pretzels in order to justify seizing land from farmers and house owners using eminent domain.

Making us pay for it won't work, either, unless Trump is willing to send troops and loot the country, or hold people for ransom, or occupy Mexico until the government pays up. I'd like to see the Orange Man try that.

One terrible thing he could try to implement is a national ID card or some other such fascistic device. IF that happens, every Latino in the country will be harassed regularly to show his papers. That is something trump would be fully capable of doing.
Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER
