A new Fox News Latino Exclusive Poll has Bernie beating Trump by 44 points and out performing Hillary by 5 points! This is yuge and welcome news for Bernie as his campaign approaches the primaries in New Mexico and California, both states with a significant Latino population.
It's no wonder that Hillary and the Democratic Party are desperate to push Bernie out and end the contest asap.
Latinos had been expected to be in the bag for Hillary, but it seems the more they get to know Bernie and his policies, the more they give him their support.
Comments
I don't understand why
Clinton would think they would automatically be one of her constituencies. What have the Clintons done for them? They weren't a big part of the equation back in Bill's terms. Hispanics are not a monolithic group, either, as the concerns of immigrants, native born, central or south americans or caribbeans are different. I would think the woman who's most well known pronouncement regarding hispanics was to send children in fear of their lives back to their violent country would have an automatic strike against her.

I am not surprised and I wouldn't be at all surprised if Bernie's support in California is way higher in California and Puerto Rico than the polls indicate. Clinton lost it in California the minute her campaign started dog whistling using the community protest in East LA. It was complete racist mierda. That and the mierda about "legal processes" and "sending a message", not to mention Obama's outrageous record of deportation centers, mass deportations and harassment of the Hispanic community. And remember it took H. Clinton like forever at the debate to say, I won't deport any children." It was a lie and obvious to any Latinos watching. Bernie clearly (like the fracking) said no deporting of children. Period. Then there is the word of mouth and BIG families and a whole lot of non-voting radical refugees in the community talking to voting paisanos.
Puerto Rico is being destroyed by vulture hedge funds. Some of the same vulture funds have donated over a million dollars to the Clintons. I personally posted the hedge fund documentation on Puerto Rican news sites commentary and sent the documentation to the Sanders campaign. Clinton's program is a sick joke (see the article linked). Essentially what it means is selling out Puerto Rico to the banksters, forcing austerity measures (closing schools, hospitals) and no binding choice. Sanders platform is to have a binding referendum with at least three choices.
The problem is getting the news out, so I urge any Hispanic friends to start posting commentary in places like the LA Times etc. and Puerto Rican papers (Spanglish will do). Twitter as well. I believe this is as important as phone banking.
Unfortunately my main computer died on me last week and all my notes are on it. Hopefully next week that will be fixed. In the meantime, hermanos y hermanas, please make the round of commentary with facts.
Note: Big issue in Puerto Rico is correlating bank donations to Clinton with the economic disaster. The same hedge funds donating to the Clintons are lobbying to kill the bankruptcy bill. Clinton will force Puerto Rico to pay off every centavo with interest to her bankster bros.
In California home mortgage foreclosures hit the Hispanic community hard. Banker Bros! Gentrification is another big issue i.e. destroying Hispanic communities. Her program is more about bankers and public/private participation than anything else. Another point is the privat deportation centers (more Clinton donor here), mass harrassment and deportation of Latinos. There are a lot of families that have family members deported. A good issue Bernie should bring up would be making it easier and cheaper to send remisas (funds) to relatives through the post office banking system Bernie has proposed. And last, payday loan sharks.
