Ruben Navarrette : Latinos shifted toward Donald Trump nationwide in numbers that continue to make headlines and confound Democratic leaders.

Eight Latino Republicans now serve in the state Legislature , doubling the former record set just two years ago , he says.

Since it started in 1973 , the Latino Legislative Caucus has excluded GOP members.

About a third of all California Republican legislators are now Latino .

Latinos make up a plurality of Californians .

The odds of the Latino caucus reexamining its Democrats -only rules shrank dramatically after the special session called by Gov. Gavin Newsom this month to prepare California for an expected onslaught of Trump legal actions against the state.
