Trump's "Slur" "Culture War Politics Of Worst Sort," "Essential" Jeb, Rubio Distance Themselves
RealClearPolitics Video ^ | July 4, 2015

JUDY WOODRUFF, PBS NEWSHOUR: I want to ask you both about something else that’s come up. And that is comments that Donald Trump, who announced a few days ago he’s running for president, has made about Mexicans.

And here’s a quote from Donald Trump. “I love the Mexican people, but you have people coming through the border that are from all over, and they are bad. I’m talking about people that are from all over that are killers and rapists.”

Big reaction, Mark, on the Republican side to this. What does this mean for the Republican field? The other candidates, are their comments appropriate, given what Donald Trump is saying?

MARK SHIELDS: I guess I disagree with your question, in a sense that I don’t think there has been a big reaction for the Republican side.

They want him to go away. And when the moral leadership of the Republican Party, on the nation rests on — in the hands of Univision, NBC and Macy’s department store, who have objected and have…

JUDY WOODRUFF: And separated…

MARK SHIELDS: … severed relations with Donald Trump…

JUDY WOODRUFF: Right....

In a time of universal deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

” ... but you have people coming through the border that are from all over, and they are bad. I’m talking about people that are from all over that are killers and rapists.”

Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.

Judy Woodriff should be in a nursing home.

He’s not presenting a conservative message. He doesn’t even understand the conservative argumenr. He’s just presenting an MSNBC- parody of a conservative. He completely misunderstands the problem:namely that we have laws that ensure large scale illegal immigration. Someone who knows conservative economics would know that. Trump doesn’t have a clue.

Corrupt and greedy and incompetent and politically correct politicians like Jeb and Rubio and others hate the truth. They love evil.

Oh, shut up! You, the faction that gargles with vitriol, have the nerve to condemn “slurs????” When you offer apologies to everyone from Ronald Reagan to Clarence Thomas, I’ll take your tender sensibilities seriously. Until then, your rank hypocrisy is stinking up the place.

I'm sure David Brooks was all over this back in the day.

So, who does present a conservative message in your view. Jeb, Rubio?

He was talking about illegal "immigrants" (aliens) - and he was right.

It's intentionally being taken out of context and applied to all Mexicans regardless of whether they come into the country legally or not.

The media is aghast by Trump's statement on illegals coming to America. They aren't the best and brightness. They are the worst and uneducated. He is controlling the debate on illegals not the media and they can't stand it. Thank you Donald

Of course. They’re looking out for their own.

No, definitely not. No one is getting an A. But there are two separate questions. None of the candidates are doing that we’ll in my opinion. But probably all of them, except Trump, could probably explain conservative thinking on some issues. We may may not trust them, but that’s a different question. Trump, howevee, has never been able to outline a conservative line of reasoning. Which is far different that throwing out bombs And Trump obviously cares little fo t what the Constitution might say. That doesn’t weigh in his thoughts at all.

Was that trumps exact quote or taken out of context?

The only one consistently throwing out bombs is you at The Donald on these Trump threads. The pot calling the kettle black, methinks.
