Is Trump about to destroy the GOP's Latino outreach project?

Three Republicans with ties to the RNC said they have heard from operatives who are looking to leave the RNC to work on key congressional races. People who are described as “committed to the Republican Party, just not committed to Trump.” Other conservatives say most party operatives will fulfill their commitment and that it’s not odd that some to want to leave because they might be layered by the Trump campaign or asked to do a job they’re not passionate about.

One party operative, a lifelong Republican, told BuzzFeed News they plan to leave to go work on down-ballot races. “I’ve always supported conservative principles, but when I look at the things I align with, they do not align with Trump.”

“We put a lot of time and hard work when it comes to this business,” the operative said. “Early mornings, late nights, tough deadlines, stress, we sacrifice a lot — to do this for a person, for a cause I don’t believe in, I can’t do it.”

But if Trump really plans to do this, Latino evangelicals and their aversion to some Democratic stances on social issues would be a good place to start.
