Donald Trump has often boasted that he would win with Hispanic voters in a general election.

Now comes some new data to test that dubious theory: Hillary Clinton is leading the 2016 presidential field among Hispanics, according to the results of a new poll of registered Hispanic voters out Thursday morning from Univision and The Washington Post.

The former secretary of state is the top choice of Hispanic voters overall — Democratic, Republican and independent — with 39 percent, with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders behind her at 19 percent.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio (8 percent), Trump (7 percent) and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (7 percent) are all basically tied. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (who has since dropped from the race) had 4 percent and Carson and Kasich each had 1 percent.

Among Hispanic Democrats, Clinton has a strong lead, 57 percent to Sanders’ 28 percent. But that number has gone down from 73 percent in June, when Sanders was at just 3 percent among Hispanics.

6. No surprise

This shouldn't be a surprise despite Trump's bleating that he took 45% of the Latino vote in Nevada. The number of Hispanics voting Republican is minuscule at best. Lawrence O'Donnell said that only about 1% of registered Hispanic voters participated in the Republican caucus.

Forty-five % of zip is . . . zip.

On the other hand, Hillary Clinton won big in the 'number' of Nevada's Hispanic votes. Come November, the Trumpster will be rolled over by his very words. Because the GOP has not paid attention to their own autopsy report from 2012. They cannot win a national election by alienating the minority voter. I would suggest that the threat of deporting 12 million people is not a winning position, let alone a sane one.

It's the arithmetic, stupid.

7. Come Novemberp

The Trumpster will be thrown in the Dumpster.
There just aren't enough racists, bigots, and rednecks in the country to win a general election.
