Latinos for Trump!

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-campaign-looks-to-gain-support-with-latino-voters-despite-presidents-harsh-approach-to-immigration/2019/06/29/41aa413e-9776-11e9-a027-c571fd3d394d_story.html

Or course, planning a campaign around the economy could
prove problematic if the long-overdue recession arrives
at an inconvenient time.

Aside from that though, the Trump base doesn't need or
want Latinos.

Do-nothing Congress - the root cause of executive overreach

Congressional impotence stems from partisan gridlock and

The Senate Challenge
