We lost Salon. Oh, Dear, how shall we go on?
I am not sure you understand the political sphere in the USA. I refer you back to message #8Why would anyone fear Trumps message of hate?hahaha… look at the libs. They have new marching orders to parrot phrases such as: "We hope Trump stays in the race because he cannot win…."
Meantime they are really afraid, even terrified of Trump's message resonating with a growing number of voters.
Gives Dems a chance to paint the entire GOP with a broad brush
See how Teapublicans are?
This is an interesting write-up. It's a form of OP-ED in Salon:
GOP s baffling Trump cowardice A party too timid to denounce a bigoted gasbag - Salon.com
Simon Maloy has noticed what millions and millions and millions of Americans are noticing:
Just about every second of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, such as it is, has been a disaster. He kicked off his campaign two weeks ago with a speech calling Mexican immigrants criminals and “rapists,” and he’s been dealing with the blowback ever since....
...But what I find curious about the reaction to Trump’s blatant racism and anti-immigrant posturing is that not one Republican has stood up and done literally the easiest, least controversial, most politically buzzy thing one could do in this situation: denounce Donald Trump.
Seriously, it’s utterly baffling. Let’s think about this for a moment. The Republican Party is painfully aware that it has a major problem appealing to voter demographics outside its core coalition of old white people and religious white people. This problem is especially acute in presidential election cycles — like the one we’re in now. Recognizing how toxic this alienation of minority groups was in the 2012 presidential race, the Republican National Committee put out a big report explicitly recommending that the party’s candidates and committees do more to reach out to and engage with Latino voters and make them feel less like the GOP actively despises them. “If Hispanic Americans perceive that a GOP nominee or candidate does not want them in the United States (i.e. self-deportation),” the report counseled, “they will not pay attention to our next sentence.”
In this light, Trump’s comments should have been a big, fat, hanging curve for an enterprising Republican 2016 candidate to swing hard at. What he said was bigoted; there’s no disagreement on that. As far as adversaries go, you could do worse than Trump – he is a semi-sentient pile of hair and sadness, he has no feelings to hurt, and by being on the opposite side of him you win the argument by default. And what he said has nothing to do with immigration policy. By weighing in on it you wouldn’t be taking any dangerous positions you’d later have to defend. And the media would eat that mess up.
All you’d have to do is just stand up and say Trump is wrong and a racist, and that undocumented immigrants are not all rapists. It would be a small step toward demonstrating that Republicans recognize the basic humanity of the people at the center of a controversial policy fight and don’t view them merely as criminals or some sort of invasive species.
But no one did that.
The most outrage the RNC could muster came from its communications director, who said on CNN that “painting Mexican Americans with that kind of a brush, I think that’s probably something that is not helpful to the cause.”
So, with Trump, the GOP is in even more of a conundrum in 2016 than it was in 2012, and that against the first female nominee of a major party. If there was ever a year when the GOP would need to score a major breakthrough with Latino voters, 2016 would be the year.
By not condemning Trump's bigoted hatred of Latinos, 2016 GOPers are tactitly lending him support and they will pay for it later. I can see it coming now:
Journalist, to GOP nominee: "When Donald Trump called Latinos 'rapists' and 'murderers', you said nothing. Why did you not denounce this kind of hatred?"
GOP nominee: "Uhm, er, äääähm, BEGHAZI! Cankles! Murkah!"
President Obama won 71% of the Latino vote in 2012. Hillary is set to hit 80% of said vote in 2016, especially if these trends continue. That takes New Mexico, Nevada and Colorado completely off the table and puts both Arizona and Texas seriously into play. There is also a large Latino community in Georgia, now ripe-hanging fruit for 2012.
By being so short-sighted, the GOP is destroying it's own future and relegating itself to become a regional party in presidential politics.
If you think that Latinos are not paying attention to this whole scene, think again.
The Republicans of 2015 are truly stupid people when they don't denounce something as obvious as this.
Discuss. There is more at the op-ed to read.
Not a single illegal alien will vote for Trump.
Irrelevant. Illegal aliens don't vote, anyway.
It's the Latinos who are LEGAL US citizens that you should be worried about, because after all of this shit, there is not way that more than 20% are going to consider a GOP candidate, much less vote for him.
Says who? Please, I know you better than being so stupid not knowing they vote and democrats are blocking every effort to introduce and/or enforce positive voter identification.This is an interesting write-up. It's a form of OP-ED in Salon:

Perhaps, but Trump differentiated between LEGAL U S citizens and ILLEGAL aliens. That has been completely ignored by the media and left wing fucktards.

Then an illegal who had already been deported 5 times shot and killed a woman right in front of her father on a popular San Francisco pier proving him right and silencing the lowlife scum left.
