Denise Valdez republican president ial candidate donald trump has removed himself from this weeks debate. Just days away from the iowa caucuses. The next gop debate is set for tomorrow night. But trump says he wants no part in it. This comes after fox news refused to replace megyn kelly as the debate moderator. Trump remains ahead in several polls. With senator ted cruz his closest rival. On the democratic side. Hilary clinton is trailing vermont senator Bernie Sanders in the latest iowa poll. The first votes will be cast in iowa on monday. Denise Valdez all of the focus for the next few weeks will be on iowa and new hampshire. As the first two states in the primary season. But candidates on both sides have taken time out of barnstorming in those states. To campaign here. Politics now anchor Patrick Walker is here to talk about Patrick Walker nevada is the first in the west state. With democrats caucusing february 20th and republicans on the 23rd. One of the common themes here that we hear about all the time. Winning the latino vote. I sat down with noted unlv Political Science professor dr. David damore. Who also works with latino decisions. A Political Opinion Research firm. In his polling. 52 percent of latino in nevada identify as democrats. While only 20 percent say they are republican. So naturally. That gives democrats a leg up in winning among that key voting block. Damore says the Democratic Candidates have done a better job reaching out to the Latino Community. Trying to woo votes in their favor. But theres still work to be done. The powerhouse Culinary Union has not yet given its coveted endorsement to a candidate. The union represents a large number of latino voters the campaigns are trying to get on their side. david damore unlv political have in the Latino Community is you also have a lot of unfamiliarity with the political process, and also a fair amount of distrust of the political process, so those are barriers that campaigns have to overcome. Patrick Walker so the question is. Can republicans do anything to win over the vote . Damore says its not likely. But they want to reduce the margin of latino support for Democratic Candidates versus republicans in big races. For example. Latino decisions data in 2010 showed harry reid got 90 percent of the latino vote in his senate race win over sharon angle. In 2012. In the president ial race. President obama got 75 percent of the latino vote here in nevada. Still a large margin. But in 2014. With the big race being the governorship and no big candidate for the dems. The latino vote in his reelection bid. That was an alltime high in their polling for a republican candidate nationwide. Patrick Walker we discussed a lot of other campaign related issues.
