In taking on Jorge Ramos, Donald Trump may have picked the wrong media star

[kpete]

Jorge Ramos' Noticiero Univision in 2014 averaged 1.89 million viewers.

Morning Joe had 450,000 viewers on Monday.

"Spanish-language news has almost the same pull as the priest in the pulpit," Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-Los Angeles), told the Los Angeles Times in 2013. "And Jorge Ramos is the pope, he's the big kahuna."

Ramos has a lot of followers: According to Nielsen ratings, more than 2 million viewers tune in to “Noticiero Univision” nightly. For perspective, in 2013, that was three times the audience of CNN’s “The Situation Room With Wolf Blitzer.”

And according to recently published research, the GOP's presidential nominee would need to win nearly half of the Latino vote to make it to the White House. (President Obama won reelection with 71% of the Latino vote).

1. I am so glad Trump did this, it will make him stronger with the crowd of disgusting

racist asshole punks, i.e. teaparty, and will show everyone else who they are

3. The political equivalent of shooting yourself in the foot

With a bazooka.

A self inflicted dumbshot wound

4. He can kiss the Hispanic vote goodbye for himself, and

hopefully for the entire GOP. I can't imagine would-be Trump voters bothering to defect to Jeb! or any of the rest of those loathsome people.

5. Not if his goal is winning the repug nomination.

Taking on Ramos only adds to Trumps "cred" with the repug base. They don't watch Univision.
