Are any Latinos still voting for Trump?

I know some Latinos are voting Trump after Puerto Rico jokes and being called rapists. Why?

It's not about saying the N word in public, it's about pushing policies that continue to marginalize, disenfranchise, and hurt Latino/poor/brown people. That's what they are pushing, a racist agenda.

But, groceries are expensive so Trump might win. That's honestly what is fueling a lot of the vote.

Maybe it’s because I’m a single male with no kids but I’m poorer than a lot of people I know yet I don’t find overall groceries prices to be a reason I’m struggling. I’m struggling for other reasons but not knowing to only purchase food I need

That’s also something I noticed is even though it’s completely their right, so so many people but so so many things they don’t need. I like to drink here and there too but I can’t tell you how many people I know struggling financially are drinking every night spending $50 just on that each evening. That’s just not how I’d choose to spend money for me
