President Trump at the Hispanic Heritage Month reception

Trump works the crowd and invites various speakers, all rather nice, while Pence stands there like a mortician.



And everyone pulled out their cell phones and recorded in portrait so when they upload to YouTube they'll look like this:




I didn't think that much of it myself until I read through comments on YouTube where commenters are happy to see this. They're the most positive comments I've seen, unblemished by the usual trolls. 

People are saying he'll definitely be reelected and he deserves three extra years to compensate for the years that Democrats stole from him.

Daily Mail writes: What impeachment? Trump ignores the maelstrom surrounding the whisleblower scandal as he jokes about bad hombres and praises ICE at White House Hispanic Heritage event to huge applause and chants of four more years. 

They treat the whistleblower setup as valid. 

As always, plenty of photographs that the video doesn't show.

They don't understand it. They don't understand Trump, nor his supporters, far less his Latino supporters. They worked so hard to separate them. They just flat don't get his failure to fail like they mean for him to. 

They talk about irrelevant things and miss the most important relevant elements of the "controversy" as they put it.

Let's peek at Daily Mail comments.

...

Well, huh.

They're much better than expected: 50/50 rational/bizarre.

Impressive.

And all this proves good people are capable of learning. Except for things like how to hold a cell phone for maximum benefit when recording video. 

Did I say mortician? I meant to say vintage toy monkey. Wait. What? He said something? Pence speaks! But see, that's what I mean; utterly boilerplate. After Trump the Republicans have nothing.

This have to give the Demos heart attacks.

Losing maybe 20 - 25% of the black vote is bad enough, but the Hispanic vote was supposed to be the future.

Pence is an unreadable guy. Which doesn't necessarily make him a bad guy. Some people are just like that. I wish I were unreadable. It's an easier way to get through life.

As for Hispanics: they, like all so-called minorities, will never vote Republican more than forty percent. And usually not even close to forty percent.

Actually, you may be wrong on that one.

Data from Pew (this goes back a year or two) says Hispanics do assimilate in a couple of generations. A President who changes the playing field would accelerate that.

40% or more of the Hispanic vote is big trouble for the Demos (just ask Pancho Vanilla) as is better than 10% of the black vote (just ask Van Jones).

Trump is the first R we've had as a fighter in a very long time.
