From the article:
Now, the first Muslim-American elected to Congress is eyeing the position of chairman of the Democratic National Committee. Rep. Keith Ellison of Minnesota is looking to make a run for the influential post, according to a source familiar with his thinking. Although Ellison has not yet officially commented on the speculation, the congressman has already picked up endorsements from prominent colleagues in Congress, including popular liberal Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, as well as New York Sen. Chuck Schumer, who is expected to be the next Senate minority leader. On Sunday Ellison also won the backing from the current Democratic Senate leader, Harry Reid of Nevada.

Let's not forget Trump got about 30% of Latino voters.

And it likely would have been higher if he wasn't so inartful in explaining his position on illegal immigration.

Some of the most ardent "screw Islam" posters in my social media circle are very Christian Latinos.

LOL! The article says that "Earlier this year, CNN traveled to three growing Muslim communities and spoke to more than 40 Muslim Americans about the election." Maybe if CNN had spent that time in decaying American communities talking to American Americans they could have made a better call.

I see that the DNC is trying to push Independents and moderates into the Republican camp...

The Democrats are looking for their next Barrack Obama, a cooler and hipper, younger black cat who is pro-Islam. Hillary was just too boring plain vanilla an apple pie for the Democrat base.

Because people have legitimate concerns about terrorism and Sharia Law. This idiot Ellison was aligned with some very sketchy groups.
