Is Donald Trump Unstoppable?; Trump Wins Latino Vote In Nevada; GOP Slams Obama Gitmo Plan
DONALD TRUMP (R), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: We won the evangelicals. We won with young. We won with old. We won with highly educated. We won with poorly educated. I love the poorly educated.</s>CAMEROTA: Donald Trump proclaiming victory with virtually all demographic groups in the Nevada caucuses. More educated people, less educated, white and Hispanics, very conservative, and people who describe themselves as moderate, giving Trump a sizable delegate lead. Look at this. Eighty to his closest competitor, Ted Cruz, at 16. What do his rivals and the Republican establishment plan to do now? Here with us is CNN political commentator and Republican consultant Margaret Hoover. And conservative columnist and Trump supporter Kayleigh McEnany. Ladies, thanks so much for being here. Margaret --</s>MARGARET HOOVER, CNN POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: Good morning, Alisyn.</s>CAMEROTA: On a scale of one to 10, Margaret, how much are you freaking out this morning?</s>HOOVER: Look, this is not a comfortable moment for people who aren't Trump supporters and who believe that Republicans ought to win the Republican nomination. I think when you look at people who traditionally have a specific view of the Republican Party, I think half are in denial and half are panicking. You look at the Cruz camp -- you talk to the Cruz camp, you talk to the Rubio camp -- they're all focused on each other right now. We've got this debate coming up and, frankly, all they can think about is how to take out the other guy and win his votes. The best chance they have is uniting together and that will never happen.</s>CAMEROTA: But the reason that they're focused on each other -- and I just want to stick with you for a second more, Margaret -- is because they think that if everybody can coalesce around one of them, then they'll have a fighting chance with the numbers against Donald Trump. Why isn't that logical?</s>HOOVER: It's logical, it's not realistic. I mean, have you talked to Ted Cruz? Have you talked to Marco Rubio? I mean, there's enmity between these guys, almost worse than with Donald Trump who's trouncing both of them. So it just isn't realistic. I mean, the best chance they have is to join forces to beat Donald Trump --</s>CAMEROTA: But what does that look like?</s>HOOVER: -- but there's no -- it doesn't, frankly. It's just not realistic. I mean, you talk to people in either camp. They despise each other so much it's like they don't even realize the iceberg is right there.</s>CAMEROTA: Kayleigh, let's look at some of the demographic groups and the numbers of who Donald Trump won with last night. OK, no surprise -- angry voters. He got 94 percent of those. Then also, no surprise, people who don't like the establishment. He got 61 percent of people who describe themselves as looking for someone outside of the establishment. But, here is the -- I don't know if those numbers are right. But, in any event, here is this part that surprises the establishment. He won with Hispanics and Latino voters, OK? He got 45 percent of Latino voters. Marco Rubio, who is Latino, got 28 percent. Ted Cruz, who is Latino, got 18 percent. What is it, Kayleigh, that has allowed Latino voters to trend towards Trump?</s>KAYLEIGH MCENANY, CONSERVATIVE COLUMNIST: Yes, Alisyn, that's huge. You know, conventional wisdom was Trump could never win Latinos and then last he did commandingly, beating the two candidates under him who were Latino candidates. I think what it is, though, is people have perpetuated this myth that Latinos will never vote for Trump because Trump wants to secure the border, Trump wants to build a wall. But, contrary to what those people say, many Latinos like that idea. They like the idea of legal immigration, and obeying the laws, and coming here the right way. Moreover, I would argue Latinos just don't vote on immigration, you know. It's easy to try to paint them as this swath of voters that just votes based on the border, but it's not true. Many Latinos are hurting. They don't have a job. They've seen their job go overseas. They're worried about terrorism. They're just like every other constituency in America that's frustrated with the federal government.</s>HOOVER: The one thing -- let's not overemphasize that. There were -- historic turnout last night. Sixty-six thousand plus voters ended up voting in the caucuses. Fifteen-hundred of them were Hispanic, OK? So less than like 3 percent, 4 percent. This is not a bellwether for Latinos are going to vote nationally. His numbers --</s>CAMEROTA: Why not, Margaret?</s>HOOVER: His favorability numbers in Hispanics nationally, you guys -- look, when you're looking at the GOP caucus population and you're looking at the Hispanics across the board -- across the country -- that are going to vote in a general election, his favorability numbers are above 60 percent, sometimes close to 70 percent, unfavorable with Hispanics. There is no way you can extrapolate 1,500 voters in Nevada for the Hispanic population in the United States in a general election.</s>MCENANY: You're right that's it a small sample size, but we were told not only could Trump never win Hispanics, which last night proved, in fact, he can win Hispanics. We were told Hispanics would show up in large droves to vote against him. I believe they dubbed this the Trump effect. That's not panning out. And also, this --</s>HOOVER: Not in a GOP primary, Kayleigh. We're talking general election, hon. This is just not something you can count on coming into a general election.</s>MCENANY: That's not true. The general election -- it shows him doing exceedingly well among all minorities. In fact, in the head-to-head matchup with Hillary Clinton, it shows him winning the black vote to the tune of 25 percent. That was a September poll. It shows him doing very well in a general election among Hispanics and among African-Americans.</s>CAMEROTA: OK. Kayleigh, Margaret, I can see this is a conversation we'll be having for many weeks to come. Thank you, ladies. Thanks so much for being here.</s>HOOVER: Thank you, Alisyn.</s>CAMEROTA: Michaela?</s>PEREIRA: Other story we're watching. The Uber driver suspected in the Kalamazoo shooting spree. He was captured on surveillance video in a gun store before that deadly rampage. What was he doing there? We have live report next.
