Jorge Ramos and Donald Trump

So I just saw now on univision that Trump wouldn't answer Jorge's questions at an event in Iowa, and then had Jorge and his crew escorted out.

I don't know if it was some sort of ambush, or if there were other reporters present. But it does speak volumes to do something like this to a respected man like Jorge.

He is the Walter Kronkite of Hispanic news reporting in North America. He is as influential as they come. That -51 net (un)favorability rating for Trump among Hispanics will only grow after this debacle. At this rate, no Hispanic voter in America will be supporting Trump by Halloween.

As a hispanic, I don't think Jorge Ramos is as respected as you think he is. He has a fan base, to be sure, but it's not like he's this universally respected figure. Just as many people hate him as love him. This isn't going to hurt or help him. It's just another episode in the Trump saga.
