Jamelle Bouie: Trump Going to Make Hispanic a Permanent Dem Voting Group

BOUIE: "So, I think not rejecting Donald Trump kind of sets up this future Paul Ryan for kind of the same kind of failure, because part of the problem — part of the reason Donald Trump could even win if the Republican primary is that the countervailing forces that could have existed, a large share of Latino Republicans or a large share of African-American Republicans just don’t exist. You mentioned polarization, Michael. I think it is as much racial polarization in American politics than anything else that’s produced Trump. And Trump himself is going to kind of reinforce that racial polarization. You know, after ‘64, Goldwater essentially helped make African-Americans a permanent Democratic voting group. Trump can do the same for Latinos, right? And so 10 years from now, 20 years from now, you could have an entirely new generation of Hispanic voters who are still voting for Democrats because of Trump."
