Latinos In Nevada And Florida Are Building A Wall -- Against Trump

Friday night was rocking in Nevada, particularly in Clark County, where hundreds were still waiting in line on the last night of early voting to...vote. And vote they were.

According to Nevada reporter Jon Ralston, records were smashed Friday, with well over 55,000 voting and more waiting in line. Polling locations were held open so everyone could have an opportunity to cast their votes.

In a campaign phone call Friday, Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook said they estimated that Republicans would have to win the Election Day vote by a 10% margin to overcome the early vote margins. Jon Ralston scoffed at that.

Snip.......

In Florida, numbers are off the charts. As of Thursday, not counting Friday, 596,146 votes were cast by Latinos in that state, or 14.1% of all early votes cast. In 2008, that number was 260,263.

snip.....

If these numbers hold, along with generally higher turnout numbers across the early voting states and a high turnout on Election Day, Donald Trump will be toast. Early, crispy toast.
