If you have a problem distinguishing between the KKK and people protesting the KKK you are making it easy too paint that picture. There is a disconnect among his supporters between what he says and does and the reaction to those things by other people. I'm not really planning to talk about the right or wrong of it too much, since I'm trying to make the point that Trumps rhetoric is self destructive something that brings the question. Are you capable of holding an office when you aren't even smart enough to act in your own self interest?Snowflakes ate twisting his behavior to make him sound like a cross between Hitler and the KKK, which is not the case.So I have to take of my partisan glasses but you're kind of agreeing with my point that Trump's rhetoric is self destructive?Take your 'partisan' glasses off, look at it again, and try again...I've seen on USMB a lot of right wingers gleefully comment on the reaction of the left at Trumps new controversy. "If it pisses of the left it has to be the right thing." In this partisan day and age I get it. My question is though how do you see this playing out? At the moment the Trump base is about 30 to 35 percent, you can question the numbers but this is what everything indicates. Trump while considered God by his base, has also the opposite effect on the rest of the US. Trump got 3000000 fewer votes then the worst candidate the Democrats could have picked. If you aren't picking up any new voters, while pissing of those people you need to stay home to win, motivating them to go out and vote, what do you think will happen?
I'm not sure how big a discrepancy the GOP can afford by Gerrymandering districts, to lose the popular vote but win the electoral but I doubt it's 10 million which if Trump keeps on acting and speaking to the hard right is what will happen.
All this boils down to Trump, who speaks bluntly without any filter, pointed out that nations like Haiti have corrupt governments that have oppressed and abused its citizens while turning their countries into sh!tholes.
He points out that many people who come here from those countries have little to offer based on a true merit-based system of immigration but instead seek to come here to ESCAPE poverty, oppression, corruption, etc...and that it is of little benefit to 'import' massive numbers of these people.
As fas as being a 'shithole' - thry are. Why do you think so many want to leave and come here.
As far as using the term he chose, he f*ed up 'bigly'...
...and he has to realize he is not among 'golfing buddies' and can not use the same language he would in that case.
