I'd never imagine that having a common language would necessitate a single perspective on anything. That said, it's been pretty clear in recent presidential elections that Latino voters are overwhelmingly Democrat.

And while Trump may play well in New Hampshire, it's not exactly full of hispanic voters (3.2% according to census.gov). So while I appreciate that Cubans in Florida are very different to Mexicans in California, my point is that as business decision, a network would think very carefully before signing on for a TV special affiliated with a man who's not in its audience's natural constituency at the best of times, and is currently somewhat toxic in terms of racial stereotyping.
