Opinion: Bang away at the Trump Pinata
The Washington Post's Power Post's The Outrage Machine ^ | July 7, 2015 | Juan Hernandez

On trips to Panama, I love staying at the Trump hotel. The service is excellent, the rooms are plush (with a bathtub in the center of the bedroom), the ocean view is breathtaking, the espresso machine is incomparable and Trump Jr.’s looped television message tells me I am a VIP. Not bad for around $150 per night.

I think the order in which I began receiving phone calls about Donald Trump’s attacks on immigrants is revealing. Friends from Central America were the first to call, asking if I had heard the insulting comments from the owner of the hotel I always raved about. The second callers were my friends from Mexico who know I am a Republican and hoped I would not support Trump if he became the GOP nominee for president in 2016. The third set of calls came from my Democrat friends who are always glad to jab me for supporting the Right. Lastly, my U.S. Latino friends called concerned about the American image abroad. The point is: the story is biggest outside the U.S.A.

Now, my Democrat friends want this to be a big story about U.S. Latinos all getting in line to vote Democrat because of Trump’s insults. It’s not....

Juan Hernandez is the smiling snake that appears on TV to convince Americans that having their laws ignored and their country overrun is a good thing.
He wants us to surrender our country to his countrymen.
He has worked for the Mexican government to facilitate the ongoing invasion.

Why do liberals, and rinos, always assume everyone is talking about them. Trump could have said I know a politician who has sex with his dog. Every politician would announce that they were offended by his remarks. I’ve always been told the guilty dogs barks.

Trump has struck a nerve with the American people. Illegal aliens and their crimes are a larger problem than the powers to be in DC would like for you to think.

This issue will not go away. If Trump takes this issue and runs with it, the GOP-E candidates will have to respond to it at some point.

Underestimate this issue at your own peril. Dredging all this up and throwing it all out there is driving the leftists and GOP-E lackeys insane with anger. I even see it here on FR, with the free trader illegal alien labor crowd going into full blown leftist assault mode.

I have several Latino friends who immigrated legally. They fully agree with what Trump said about illegal aliens.

Never forget. Liberals like in “victim” stories and claims.
