For these Trump supporters, it was perfectly okay for him to propose banning all people of the Muslim faith from entering the United States.
But when Trump turns that hateful rhetoric toward Hispanics; well, that’s a bridge too far.
What is really interesting is how this group was a microcosm of what is happening. Several members have turned their backs on him and will not vote for him, although at least one indicated he would not vote for Hillary. Another guy said he would not join the advisory board but would still vote for the nominee, another one suffers from magical thinking (staying on the advisory board so he can continue to advise Trump on “what we believe is more humane”), and George Rivera said “Trump’s speech, I think, was amazing, and it was refreshing, to be honest with you, to finally have somebody who was telling the truth to the American people.”
A handful of people and such wildly diverse views. No consistency even within this somewhat homogeneous group.
And at least one of them said they’d vote for him anyway.
Because like Marge Schott said, Hitler did some good things too.
And Mussolini had the trains running on time
Am I imagining things?

“I am no longer supporting Trump for president, but cannot with any conscience support Hillary.”
So he’s established that he’s only 50% moron. I’m being charitable; my Mexican-American wife has far harsher terms for people like him.
It’s a shame when blatant stupidity takes precedence over pride in your heritage and belief in your self worth.
Vaya con dios…
“I’m going to flip, but not flop,” he said. “I am no longer supporting Trump for president, but cannot with any conscience support Hillary.”
Macedonio (Call me Massey!) Villareal, can support Rick Perry, Gregory Abbot, Marco Rubio THEN Donald Trump, without holding his nose, but whose CONSCIENCE keeps him from voting for HRC.
Macedonio,“Hi my name is Massey,” whose Bloomberg Commercial research bio lists the following
He heads a Hispanic-owned and -managed computer-consulting firm providing data processing solutions to public and private sector firms. Hispanic Business Magazine named Villarreal one of the 100 most influential Hispanics in the United States. Villarreal is chairman of the board of the Republican National Hispanic Assembly. He was appointed by Texas Gov. Rick Perry to chair the governing board of the Texas Department of Economic Development. He is past chairman of the board of the Houston Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. He has served as chairman of the board of the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and the Texas Association of Mexican American Chambers of Commerce.
Sounds to me like the beneficiary of one of those ENTITLEMENT programs for minorities that his own party is so quick to call out when they are for ensuring Mexican and black children get enough nutrition, but its all ok if you are running a HISPANIC owned Business so you can get some government contracts when your political buddies are running the show and want to show DIVERSITY in the non-political correctness way. The Chamber of Commerce way.
It’s a negative for HO and this is the important thing. If these leaders bail, they take whomever they are leading with, or else they really aren’t leaders now are they.
Truthfully, this Mexico/Phoenix gamble is turning out to be a big loss for Agent Orange.
So, he’s moved on to black, whom-just by the numbers he can’t possibly offend as much because they already are.
Full of Trump disgust is full of Trump disgust, the cup needeth not runneth over.
