Ruth Guerra

It’s tough to be a Latino representative for the Republican Party. This is true no matter how you slice it. However, “slicing it” with a serving of Donald Trump as Republican nominee for president makes it virtually inedible. Ruth Guerra has been the head of Hispanic media relations at the Republican National Committee for the past couple of years. She’s a rising star in the party, at the age of 28. She’s also going to be “moving on.”

Ruth Guerra, who is of Mexican descent and was in charge of carrying the party’s message to Latino voters, is joining the American Action Network, a Republican-aligned Super PAC, she confirmed in a brief interview on Wednesday.

While some are calling this a natural, upward move for the young Republican, it’s hard to see it that way when you look at facts and reality.

But Ms. Guerra told colleagues this year that she was uncomfortable working for Mr. Trump, according two R.N.C. aides who requested anonymity to speak candidly about the difficulties surrounding the party’s presumptive standard-bearer. It is relatively rare for party staff members to leave the national committee in the midst of a presidential campaign unless they are going to work directly for the nominee.

Ms. Guerra decided not to discuss her feelings about Donald Trump. Fair enough. Except Donald Trump is the Republican nominee for the office of president of the United States. Of America! Here’s some more from the “no shit, Sherlock” file.
