Couple of quick points.
A lot of hispanics voting does not mean they are all voting for Clinton.
LA Times currently has Clinton 47-44 vs. Trump with the Latino vote.
Unanticipated, record turnout of a voting block that favors Clinton (even if it's only by 3 points) isn't going to do anything good for Trump.

you describing me being biased is an adjective in this case.
Freepost please (and I will be charging you for English lessons soon)
Now, what I can see is 20 million American citizens who are members of the minority groups and American women showing up at the polls in more numbers than they have before. Neither of these groups favors Trump though each group has some members who will vote for him.

I live in Ga and we have a large population of migration workers and illegals, also many that are here by legal means, I also worked with a lawyer on migration as a translator, then moved on to work with the state education department to teach English to migrant workers children.
I think I know a thing or two of who is who around my neck of the woods and many of the people I relate too, when it comes to helping illegals and migrants get benefits pay by the tax payers.

It won't help him no, but I don't think it will definitive. I think she will win mainly because Trump did not manage to open up a big enough gap with the white vote, especially college educated.

Is that a spot in the basket of deplorables?

Sure, verbs can become adjectives.

Doesn't seem like there is anything you can charge me for.
The fact that unfair appears in one definition and not the other is an inconsistency on their part. You can tell them if you want but I'm still not paying for it.

I don't necessarily disagree with that.
But if we add this particular unexpected turn to the mix, it may end up being the straw that broke the camel's back.
Consider, for example: Garcia is one of the three most common last names in Nevada and Arizona, both key swing states. The Latino vote could easily swing these states blue.
noun: a tendency to believe that some people, ideas, etc., are better than others that usually results in treating some people unfairly

No need. There is nothing to debate. Your first oxford link didn't have a definition for adj so I quoted the definition for the verb.
You said it was an adjective and I agreed. So what? Oh and just for good measure here is the Merriam-webster definition of bias:
noun: a tendency to believe that some people, ideas, etc., are better than others that usually results in treating some people unfairly
Just to show the inconsistency doesn't just apply to one dictionary.
having or showing a bias : having or showing an unfair tendency to believe that some people, ideas, etc., are better than others

Please don't hold your breath, I linked a definition which shows that "unfairness" is not necessary part of the definition. You can write them and have them clear that up for you if you like.
