Latinos hold broadly negative views of Donald Trump and see him as harmful to the image of the Republican Party, a new poll shows. [...]
The poll found 70% of Latinos hold negative views of Trump -- including 60% who said they have a "very negative" impression of the front-runner in the GOP's 2016 presidential race. That's compared to 55% of U.S. residents and just 28% of Republicans who view Trump negatively.
Almost two-thirds of Latinos surveyed -- 65% -- say Trump is hurting the image of the Republican Party, while just 13% say he is helping the party.
While CNN muses it's "not clear" whether Trump's immigration rhetoric would hurt "other GOP contenders," it's difficult to see any scenario in which it
doesn't. Trump has quite successfully scuttled all previous Republican gibberish about rebrandings and inclusiveness, and he's pulled the other candidates rightward in their own anti-immigrant rhetoric. Presuming Latino voters will simply have forgotten about the party's lurch to open racism if another candidate eventually takes the nomination is presuming a bit much.
