Here’s a photo proudly posted to the Twitter feed of Republican Rep. Clarice Navarro of Pueblo, taken at the Western Conservative Summit in Denver earlier this month:
Rep. Navarro is considered an important bridgehead for the GOP in an area of the state with a large and swingy population. HD-47 stretches from Penrose and suburban Pueblo West through to La Junta along the Arkansas River valley. The district features large Latino, Mormon, and agriculture-reliant populations. In 2012, the last presidential election year, Navarro won her seat by a relatively narrow 51.7% margin.
And now, depending on the ability of Navarro’s underdog Democratic opponent Jason Munoz to get the word out, HD-47 has this photo to think about. In Southern Colorado politics, one of the worst things you can be accused of is “going Denver”–getting elected, and then promptly forgetting the interests of the people who elected you once you arrive in the state capitol.
In HD-47, Donald Trump might provoke a more visceral response than “going Denver.”

Did he ask her to produce her papers?
"Let's go share a taco bowl! I love tacos….and the Hispanicans…"
"Look! Look at my
AfricanHispanic American over there!"Liberals say they're not racist, but can these comments be considered anything but?
I bow to your judgment, Moderatus. Trump really is racist. This is from his Cinco de Mayo tweet, ICYMI:

#CincoDeMayo! The best taco bowls are made in Trump Tower Grill. I love Hispanics! https://www.facebook.com/DonaldTrump/posts/10157008375200725:0 …Yep. To paraphrase G-Newty:
"Anybody who quotes [Hair Drumpf] is obviously [quoting a racist]"
. . . good catch, Fluffy.
Your post cropped out her children. She let her children near this monster!
