Remember Mitt Romney caught on tape and the "47%" remark? I did not think it was that terrible, but the press turned it into a huge deal. By the time the election rolled around, Mitt Romney lost because over 80% of Americans thought Mitt Romney was a cold hearted SOB who did not care for them.
The press has largely held its fire on Donald Trump. But the closer he gets to the nomination, the more we will hear about this.
"Eighteen years ago, Wojciech Kozak helped build Trump Tower, the skyscraper jewel in Donald J. Trump's real-estate empire. Today, Mr. Kozak recalls that time with nightmare memories of backbreaking 12-hour shifts and of being cheated with 200 other undocumented Polish immigrants out of meager wages and fringe benefits.
"We worked in horrid, terrible conditions," Mr. Kozak said of the six months he spent in 1980 wielding a sledgehammer and a blowtorch in demolishing the Bonwit Teller Building on Fifth Avenue to make way for Trump Tower. "We were frightened illegal immigrants and did not know enough about our rights."
This will be Trump's 47% remark. There will be television interviews, 60 Minutes stories, and commercials with the workers who say they were victims of Donald Trump's cold heart.
Low information voters are going to get an earful of these stories. Just wait.
Erick Erickson is still on his period like Megyn Kelly
It is amazing that Trump has gotten away with deceiving people that he cares about the little guy. Trump has a history of exploiting working class people that has not been examined by voters.
The potential different is that Trump will go on the offensive and not get on his heels like Romney and Ryan did. They should have spun that around and turned it to their advantage.
Which rights is he talking about, the right to be deported?
And nobody will care. Cruz is a sneaky GOPe Bushie, so is his wife.
Cruz would be a GWB replay, with all the vitriol.
Tailor-made for a political commercial aimed at LIVs.
Trump even now is using illegals and has requested more immigrant workers to come into the country to work in his company. Bury your head in the sand. Trump is no friend of the American worker.
If Trump wins the nomination, he will not be the president. Whatever legal problems Hillary has, Trump is on record dismissing them. At the same time he has a long history of abusing people, espousing liberal fantasies, buying politicians, and being a general clown.

No Puny, you just don’t give a dang about facts. he has that effect, you only see and hear what you want and if you run smack into the truth you pretend it is not there.
Your choice, I don’t care who you vote for. You snark isn’t funny.
blah blah blah
People won’t care. Mitt list because he wouldn’t stand for anything
As much as I hate to admit it, it is a hoax.
The press has held it’s fire on Trump?? Are you kidding? Trump is on the upside of his redemption curve and Hillary on the down side. He’s going to steamroller her and the press isn’t going to be able to do anything about it.
Redstate and EE, nobody believes this fat turd anymore.
Yes. And Beck went on air touting it. Then Beck had to apologize for all that. Apparently the tweet was a Beck thing and a total hoax.
Yes it is.
It’s too late for you Erickson. Trump has already defined you, the media, and himself. You guys can’t change it.
No, his 47% remark will be his oft-repeated claim that wages — not minimum wages, but wages in general — are too high. Yup, Romney lost public beneficiaries, which isn’t too remarkable since this is the Republican party. Trump will lose wage earners. Also known as most everybody who is not a public beneficiary.
Yes, it is a hoax and has been disproved.
