Donald Trump: Mean Spirited GOP Won't Win Elections
Newsmax ^ | 11/26/2012 | Ron Kessler

Posted on 12/26/2015 3:11:05 PM PST by conservativejoy

Ronald Kessler reporting from Washington, D.C. , The Republican Party will continue to lose presidential elections if it comes across as mean-spirited and unwelcoming toward people of color, Donald Trump tells Newsmax.

Whether intended or not, comments and policies of Mitt Romney and other Republican candidates during this election were seen by Hispanics and Asians as hostile to them, Trump says.

"Republicans didn't have anything going for them with respect to Latinos and with respect to Asians," the billionaire developer says.

"The Democrats didn't have a policy for dealing with illegal immigrants, but what they did have going for them is they weren't mean-spirited about it," Trump says. "They didn't know what the policy was, but what they were is they were kind."

Romney's solution of "self deportation" for illegal aliens made no sense and suggested that Republicans do not care about Hispanics in general, Trump says.

"He had a crazy policy of self deportation which was maniacal," Trump says. It sounded as bad as it was, and he lost all of the Latino vote," Trump notes. "He lost the Asian vote. He lost everybody who is inspired to come into this country."

The GOP has to develop a comprehensive policy "to take care of this incredible problem that we have with respect to immigration, with respect to people wanting to be wonderful productive citizens of this country," Trump says.

What do you think the result of becoming POTUS does to his Trump brand worldwide? So he spends $500 million & gets a few billion $ in return. Then he comes away looking like more if a genius.

Like clockwork.............

Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:
We need to ensure we don't get another Obama-like America Hater as the next President.
The best way to ensure that is to actively support a candidate as the next President.
I prefer Cruz and my money goes to his campaign, hence the Cruz link. If you like someone else, donate to him/her (find your own link to do it) and if you use FR and don't donate, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches or those who have Obama Phones because, functionally, you are no different than any other who enjoys the fruits of others' work for your own benefit.

PS - If you are one of those who cannot afford even a small donation to FR or a candidate, God Bless and happy FReeping!.....

GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!

Donate to FR

Donate to Cruz

History always repeats itself.

Donald Trump and Ted Cruz (and we chickens) better brace ourselves for GOPe Jeb Bush betrayal in 2016 that will make the Chris McDaniels Mississippi Debacle look like Sunday School ...




1968 ... Bobby Kennedy assassinated by a dish washer ... Bloody Riots at the 1968 Chicago Democratic Convention ... Hubert Humprey ...



Do you know "anyone" on planet earth who's worth a trillion dollars ?

No one is.

The United States government annual budget clearly exceeds a trillion dollars ...

Over an eight-year two-term Presidentcy, that represents EIGHT Trillion dollars ...

Is "anyone's life" worth eight trillion dollars ?

And if Donald Trump or Ted Cruz get the 2016 GOP Nomination, and defeat the GOPe-RINO Washington Cartel (Hillary, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, et al) ...

there will a trillion dollars of "blood on the streets".

Money that didn't go to the K-Street Bankers ... and perhaps 20 million illegals successfully deported over the next eight years ...

That's the way it always works.




Cry Havoc and Let Slip the Political Dogs of War ...



Does anyone wonder about the "clear absurdity" of Jeb Bush predicting that he wins the GOP 2016 nomination ?

Come on, Folks.

Does Jeb Bush need to be "Baker Acted" ?

"No" ... and please don't be naive ...

Barbara and Jeb Bush may be Hillary-Loving Bushies, but they are NOT "stupid".

The Bush Dynasty is "not" stupid. A little corrupt, but NEVER stupid.




I believe that Washington Cartel has decided to make the 2016 GOPe election a "Stalingrad" for the American Tea Party ...


Isn't that what Patton or Rommel would do, if they were the GOPe-RINO Washington Cartel ?

Isn't that what YOU would do, if they were playing the equivalent of "American Political Risk" (the game) ?


Again, Donald Trump and Ted Cruz (and we chickens) better brace ourselves for GOPe Jeb Bush betrayal in 2016 that will make the Chris McDaniels Mississippi Debacle look like Sunday School ...
