Orange County Register:

About 100 supporters of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump rallied at Anaheim City Hall on Sunday afternoon, arguing that his support among the Latino community is stronger than has been widely reported.

The rally, organized by Latinos for Trump, was part of an initiative termed Operation Taco Bowl – an apparent reference to a Cinco de Mayo photo of Trump eating a taco bowl with a caption that read, “I love Hispanics.”

Those attending were about half Latino, with most from outside of Orange County. Trump supporters took turns standing beside two mannequin caricatures of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and telling the crowd why they support Trump.

Soooo, 100 people showed up, of which half were actually Latino. In Southern California on a Sunday.

4. The turnout numbers looked huge! Huge!

If they had 10 more people, they might have had to bring out a Port-a-Potty.

8. If it Operation Taco Bowl wasn't about Trump, I'd say "unbelievable"

[lindysalsagal]

13. "Blame the democrats for slavery."

WTF???

[Tommy_Carcetti]

14. Well, apparently these people think party politics have stayed exactly the same since the 1860s.

Southern Strategy? What's a Southern Strategy?

[rurallib]

20. quite an eyecatcher isn't it?

must be a Republican historian.
ETA - actually surprised he didn't blame the "Obama-Clinton administration" for slavery.

[gratuitous]

19. "This Hispanic Mexican American Latina Female from Orange County is voting 4 TRUMP"

Oh, there's a fat, juicy, really racist comment I could make about that sign, but I think it's best left unposted.

I'm equally suspicious about the "GAYS for TRUMP" yellow sign in the bottom center of the photo.

[Coyotl]

22. They call it "Operation Taco Bowl" because

all the people in the photo are hired standing on the sidewalk near the Taco Bowl early in the morning.

[niyad]

25. that is NOT a hundred people

[MFM008]

29. Those were all the repukes

They could find in the state of California.......

30. Anaheim is in Orange County...

Orange County Is No Longer Nixon Country


SANTA ANA, Calif. — Orange County has been a national symbol of conservatism for more than 50 years: birthplace of President Richard M. Nixon and home to John Wayne, a bastion for the John Birch Society, a land of orange groves and affluence, the region of California where Republican presidential candidates could always count on a friendly audience.

But this iconic county of 3.1 million people passed something of a milestone in June. The percentage of registered Republican voters dropped to 43 percent, the lowest level in 70 years.

It was the latest sign of the demographic, ethnic and political changes that are transforming the county and challenging long-held views of a region whose colorful — its detractors might suggest zany — reputation extends well beyond the borders of this state.

At the end of 2009, nearly 45 percent of the county’s residents spoke a language other than English at home, according to county officials. Whites now make up only 45 percent of the population; this county is teeming with Hispanics, as well as Vietnamese, Korean and Chinese families. Its percentage of foreign-born residents jumped to 30 percent in 2008 from 6 percent in 1970, and visits to some of its corners can feel like a trip to a foreign land.

And as one change jingling wrinkled old conservative white fart lamented, "Times have been better".

32. I like the one guy in the bottom row with both thumbs up.

"Who has two thumbs and is voting against his best interests? This guy!!!"

[lapfog_1]

5. I like the smiley face

Should have put a disclaimer about using the images of all Hispanic people that attend for later ICE deportations.

[Solly Mack]

6. Damn

[Person 2713]

7. A bunch of white people in sombreros para trump again ....shades of the RNC?

[Wednesdays]

9. This is from The Onion, right?

Please tell me this is from The Onion.

[no_hypocrisy]

10. What will the people at this rally be singing?

"Ay, yay, yay . . . . I am the Frito Bandito . . . . ."

There are days I subscribe to the theory that Trump is trying anything to get out of this race.

[smirkymonkey]

17. Why aren't they all wearing sombreros and shaking maracas?

Isn't that what all latino people do all day?

[lindysalsagal]

21. with giant guitars

[awoke_in_2003]

11. I've said it before

he is trying desperately to derail this thing. The media is keeping him alive. There is no way in hell that someone who is serious would do this.

[Coyotl]

24. He bet millions on himself losing.

And he is going to win big at his competitor's casinos.

[awoke_in_2003]

27. I wouldn't put it past them

Plus, he is not only making money renting his own properties at high rents, but he will keep a lot of campaign money once it's over

[uponit7771]

28. +1, relative to his usual grifting this sounds just like something he'd do. Go through a ghost bette

... better in the beginning when the polls were tight and bet against himself then tank his campaign

[lindysalsagal]

12. 100 isn't a rally: It's a meeting. I'll be at a meeting 3X that size wednesday.

Well, I'm really worried those 100 are gonna put the moron ovewr the top.

Looking forward to nov 9th when they'll all finally catch on that they lost.

[brush]

15. Borowitz or "The Onion", right?

This can't be serious.

[denbot]

16. So about 50 Latinos showed, not bad out of a possible pool of say 8 Million!

I guess Latinos are jumping on the trump train.. Choo-choo!

[smirkymonkey]

18. I can't believe anyone could really be this clueless.

He's desperate to get out of the race.

[Iliyah]

23. Corporate media will cover this as gospel.

[True Dough]

26. Team Trump brings Montezuma's revenge to Anaheim

The verbal kind.

[Initech]

31. 100 people? I would have guessed two.

[imanamerican63]

33. Trump was going to pay them for showing up?

Just like all of the people he owes money too!
