Times larger than Trump's are traits that many independts value.

If this were Cruz vs Hillary, Hillary would be losing. As it is now she is within MOE in swing state polls against Trump. If I had to estimate, I would guess that with his heritage alone he could pull about 20% of the Hispanic vote if he tempered down his GE rhetoric.
