“The story of this election may be the mobilization of the Hispanic vote,” conceded a Republican Congressman for South Carolina, U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, speaking to the NY Times, Sunday edition.

“Trump deserves the award for Hispanic turnout. He did more to get them out than any other Democrat has ever done,” Graham added.

Another well known Republican strategist, Mr. Karl Rove, the famous “architect” of George W. Bush’s victories, agreed: 

Trump, in his effort to rally a base of disappointed voters, ended up provoking with his rhetoric an unexpected surge of new voters, many of them of Latino descent, that, at the close of this edition, would give Hillary Clinton crucial victories in key battleground States, putting her above the top on this tight race for the White House. 

States like Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Florida, and even Pennsylvania, were showing a spike of new voters that could turn what was considered a close election into a landslide in both the popular vote and the vote at the electoral college.

“You can credit (Trump) for that,” said Rove, who engineered the victory that brought the last Republican to the White House in 2000 and 2004, but has steered away, like many other Republicans, from their Party’s nominee. “Not her.”

The Democratic party candidate, however, was busy over the weekend, as was her running mate, trying to do a last minute outreach to the Latino community.

Tim Kaine was dispatched to Arizona to give a full speech in Spanish, the first one he did entirely in Spanish during the campaign, and Hillary was seen in Florida hanging out with a crowd exclusively of Latino voters, like never seen before: wearing, of all things, a Colombian sombrero.

When all the votes are finally counted, one thing will be clear: 

Latinos became part, once again, of the electoral coalition that chooses the new president.

The question to ask the new president is this: Are they going to be a part of the governmental coalition that will be appointed to rule the country January 20th, 2017?
