The head of Hispanic media relations at the Republican National Committee is resigning this month in what appears to be another indication of the lingering discomfort some party officials have about working to elect Donald J. Trump president.

Ruth Guerra, who is of Mexican descent and was in charge of carrying the party’s message to Hispanic voters, is joining the American Action Network, a Republican-aligned “super PAC,” she confirmed in a brief interview on Wednesday.

The American Action Network is expected to spend millions on congressional races, and the new job is in essence a promotion, one co-worker said.

But Ms. Guerra told colleagues this year that she was uncomfortable working for Mr. Trump, according two R.N.C. aides who requested anonymity to speak candidly about the difficulties surrounding the party’s presumptive standard-bearer.

6. Money Hispanics know which side butters their bread.

Same as Log Cabin Republicans. It's always about the money. They'll betray their own kind in a NY minute to get down with the rich folk. Different group but same story.

3. Trump called out the judge in his "University" case as a Mexican. That is more than a dog whistle.

That is blatant bigotry. Would he call out a judge as Irish or Swiss? Hell no he wouldn't.

What possible reason could he have for calling the judge a Mexican (incidentally, the judge was born in Indiana, USA)? There is only one explanation, and everybody knows it.

It is to fan the flames of ethnic bigotry and paint himself, Super Billionaire Donald Trump, as being somehow the victim of bigotry.

I am not surprised Ms. Guerra is "uncomfortable" working for Trump.

I am surprised that any American is "comfortable" supporting this wingnut.
