Lindsey Graham: Trump's immigration views poison to GOP
Boston Herald ^ | July 14 2015 | Chris Villani

Posted on 07/14/2015 7:21:50 AM PDT by WilliamIII

U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham has a message for fellow Republicans -- disagree with Donald Trump's views on immigration.

"This is not about a broken immigration system, this is about our view of people," Graham said in an appearance on Herald Radio today. "It is incumbent upon my party, at the highest levels, to say 'We do not agree with Donald Trump when he says most illegal immigrants are rapists and drug dealers.' Our party has a chance to win in 2016 unless we adopt rhetoric like this that alienates further the Hispanic community who should be, in my view, in the Republican camp in 2016 unless we drive them away."

Thankfully, this bitchy, little girly, twit won’t make it into the first debate.

“”It is incumbent upon my party, at the highest levels, to say ‘We do not agree with Donald Trump when he says most illegal immigrants are rapists and drug dealers.’”

Trump never said that. Graham is lying and refusing to address the problem.

“’We do not agree with Donald Trump when he says most illegal immigrants are rapists and drug dealers.’

Agreed.

And another thing: these illegals are mostly latinos and historically, they never vote GOP. So we are losing absolutely nothing with the rhetoric as it comes as truth to a majority of Americans.

Grahmnesty sure gets a lot of media attention for someone who on a good day hits 1% in the polls, but on most days is an *%.

He’s also ticked off with Fox since he likely will not qualify for the debates.

Why treat the "hispanic community" as a single entity? "hispanic" (I don't even know why my computer tries to force me to capitalize it) is neither a race nor a nationality. If anything, it represents a language and culture that is in the gutter....it is not US American, Spanish, Mexican, or Puerto Rican (etc). It's the least common denominator, the worst of all of those accomplished cultures. When pols treat them as a single entity they are diminishing and herding them, with the help of self-proclaimed (or installed) leaders.

Trump referred very specifically to those who enter the US, often with the help of Mexico, who are criminals. He's the one separating them from other people of Spanish/mixed heritage.

Methinks the Republican backstabbing elite is afraid Trump's message will get them off of the cheap-labor plantation.

These people don’t get it, at all. They think they do, but they clearly do not. The Republican party, no matter how much it capitulates and how much it tries to ‘change its brand’ and no how much it tries to appeal to liberal voters, is never going to attract liberal voters. Further, if you become the party you oppose in order to beat them, what have you accomplished?

My Favorite phase is these illegal immigrants will go to the police and help in reporting crimes?

Sure they will never speak to the police or die by gangs who kill any witnesses against them

Well, thanks to the Lesser of Two Evils crowd, Linda is right. The squishy Obamaboys keep winning. The GOP is doing quite well under his kind of leadership. They don't win the presidency, but I doubt they really want to.

Simply aiding and abetting America's enemy!

There's a word for that?

Let's see if the Republican leadership does more than just talk about how bad a deal it is.

...they've given Obama everything he's ever wanted, why stop now?

I hear enough from homos in Hollywood and major media, Linda. Why don’t you just shut up.

Who cares what the “highest levels” of the damned party say, Linda? The base is not listening to you or the party hierarchy anymore, so go away.

“Why is the Boston Herald giving Graham a forum?”

Jeb has stated he won’t comment on Trump anymore. The silver spooned elitist is far too dignified to acknowledge Trump.

However, Trump is a threat to the system. So far loss of business and backroom “conversations” haven’t brought Trump in line so he has to be dealt with. Lindsay is McCain’s boy and a tool of the establishment. He has no hope of winning the nomination. Graham’s daily diatribe about Trump must mean he has been assigned the job of attacking Trump for Jeb. Clearly the media is playing its role by giving insignificant Graham airtime.

This sets up an interesting dilemma for the upcoming Fox sponsored GOP debate. Graham probably won’t make the cut unless the editors of the New York Times best seller list select the debate participants. Who will the GOPe designate to be the attack dog going after Trump in the debate? Christie? Rubio?

Now the real question: with the Pawn Star guy endorsing Rubio, will Bruce “Caitlyn” Jenner endorse Graham?
