Since Donald Trump won Arizona, does that mean he'll be the nominee?

Arizona have 30% of hispanic population or almost two million people that are considered latinos. Now with this in mind, I hypothesized couple of weeks ago that if Trump were to win big with hispanics he would possibly have more chances to be Republican Party nominee and also beat Hillary Clinton on the general elections (Because Hispanics prefer Bernie over her).

The establishment is dead set against him being "the one." They will fight to the death (literally the death of the party) to keep him off the ballot.

SGT Roberto Mendoza-Diaz Trump is running on a platform of curtailing illegal immigration. Those who are here legally, and have become citizens, are less likely to be sympathetic to illegal immigration than those who were born here. Case in point is my boss. He was born in Portugal. He is a US citizen. He loves his native land, but he loves the USA as well. He has no sympathy at all for illegal immigrants. He saw what his parents went through to become U.S. Citizens. So it is not all that surprising that Trump would do well among the latino population.

Trump won in Arizona partly because of the left wing Soro's led demonstrations against him. I've already heard from friends in Arizona that many people they know changed from Cruz to Trump because of the demonstrations....they are that ANGRY at the left side of the political spectrum in this country that they will vote Trump no matter the consequences because the left hates him that much...along with the right side establishment hating him too. They also want a Trump/Cruz ticket for the general election in NOV....

The left hates Trump, but they want him to be the one against Hillary (or whomever) simply because they think they can garner hate votes against him from women and minorities by highlighting partially made-up points that he is all the nasty things you can call someone in todays politically correct America. Either way I think we lose as a country - but the left will win at any cost and they have decided that blocking roads and other illegal activities is how they have to do it this time. I wish someone that gets stuck in those road blocks would sue the organizers and those arrested....it happened in other road blocks like this and those stuck in the road block won in court, costing those identified in the illegal protests much more than the misdemeanor fines they were expecting as the max for their illegal protest and road blocking.

Remember, 30% hispanic/latino in the state doesn't necessarily mean jack about the general election. What portion of that 30% cuts Republican? Were the hispanics/latinos that showed up for the Republican primary an accurate representation of the views of Republican hispanics/latinos generally? All evidence suggests the answer to #1 is "not much" and, if other heavy hispanic/latino population states are an indication, #2 is that Trump support was likely over-represented. That said, Trump still has a commanding lead on delegates for nomination at the national level, so what happens among hispanics/latinos probably won't mean much to the overall picture of whether he will be the nominee.
