UNSENTIMENTAL RACIAL HYGIENE:

It was just over a year ago, at a nationally televised debate, when Donald Trump chided Jeb Bush for speaking another language on the campaign trail. "This is a country," Trump said standing at the lectern next to Bush, "where we speak English, not Spanish."

The crowd at the Ronald Reagan presidential library applauded. Ever since, Trump has stayed true to his word.

With 46 days until the November elections, and as early voting begins in a handful of states, Trump is on the precipice of becoming the only major-party presidential candidate this century not to reach out to millions of American voters whose dominant, first or just preferred language is Spanish. Trump has not only failed to buy any Spanish-language television or radio ads, he so far has avoided even offering a translation of his website into Spanish, breaking with two decades of bipartisan tradition.
