Generally speaking, for me polls are about one level below assumptions. However I found this interesting for several reasons.

1. In similar fashion as the "War on Women" . . . the theme of intolerance of Republicans is the meme of the day and appears to be the narrative that will be carried to the general

2. Google for any polling data on intolerance of Democrats and nothing appears.

3. For most Trump supporters here on FR, this single issue is the reason given for supporting Mr. Trump.(yes, I know there are several other dominating themes) Yet, Mr. Trump won only 44 percent of those voters.I find that dynamic interesting.

Fraudulently documented foreigners are illegal aliens, they are not immigrants.

Immigrants are people who apply to be Americans in their home country, pay their fees, wait their turn, learn the language and comply with the laws.

The Ministry Of Propaganda never misses an opportunity to twist the truth.

Wanting to deport illegal aliens (who have NO legal right to be here) = intolerance??

Only in the New York Times’ bleeding-heart world!

Go Trump!!

Good for them. This is a great time for Trump to be going up against an uninspiring phony like Hillary. On the one hand, you have Hillary, who offers nothing new, just the same old liberal sacred cows about saving the world from Republicans. Then you have Bernie, who actually says he’ll “fight for the middle class” by raising taxes and giving away free stuff.

Hillary is winning elections because the dedicated, ho-hum libs who vote in every election are still doing their thing, and Bernie can’t get enough kids to show up at the polls to beat hear because a) they are lazy and b) there aren’t enough new dems to beat the older Hillary supporters.

So, Hillary is going to win and she’s going to wave around crap like this study and call Donald Trump a racist at the debates. Donald Trump will then crush her for making such a stupid argument, being typically divisive, and having an empty campaign.

The talking heads are getting everything wrong this year. Once we get to the general and people start paying attention past the headlines, Trump is going to crush the DNC just as hard as he’s crushed the RNC.

Enforcing the law is now “intolerant”. Welcome to the brave new world of the millennial snowflakes.

“Trump has unlocked the prison gates.”

Freudian slip?

The criminal boss will increase gubmint tyranny and conservatives will have lost the war.

Curious that the little snowflake with the video about how “mean and intolerant” the Trumps supporters were was a Sanders supporter calling a Democrat party voter list

Add that to this data about the SC polling results and that would seem to indicate there are a lot of blue collar Dems who agree with these “intolerant” positions.

I did a quick survey on google and "social media." This theme or meme appears to be deep and wide.

Most conservatives not looking for it (meme) as I was, therefore we appear to become oblivious to it. Yet it becomes the national narrative and we have no idea how that happened. No one is countering it, so it becomes the truth.

Exactly. Thats what I took away with the polling data. Of course the New York Times twisted it. Thats why I went looking for polling on Democrat voter intolerance and found zero. No surprise there, eh?

I fail to see how wanting our laws enforced is intolerant.

Liberals have a high degree of intolerance for the truth and won’t even call an illegal alien and illegal alien.
