US News just ran this, not saying I agree with it. It is a bit like the “counter” articles that get posted here. Kind of depressing but forward on, we can’t worry about this.

First and foremost the Latinos and Blacks are not going to vote republican. They are overwhelmingly freebiecrats.

Republicans need to focus on getting out the yuge republican base and the indies. That’s how you win the presidency. Forget about Blacks and Hispanics.

DT doesn’t hesitate to attack other Republicans.

I guess the 11th Commandment died with RR.

The GOP blindly chases 30% of 12% of the electorate while telling the 65-70% of the citizens that they must surrender their country to fraudulently documented foreigners and wonder why they lose.....

Uhh, they are usually attacking him first. I don’t think President Reagan meant you can’t defend yourself.

Take two

The GOP blindly chases 30% of 12% of the electorate while telling the 65-70% of the citizens who oppose amnesty that they must surrender their country to fraudulently documented foreigners and wonder why they lose.....

These guys need to learn how to handle liberal inciteful reporting. They aretrying to incite from their reporting, attacks on each other, so the media can then just run with it.

Liberal media is the kid who causes the playground fight between two kids by telling each of them the other thinks they suck and wants to know if they’ll accept the others’ challenge to fight.

Republicans may not gain many Hispanic votes in places like California but I don’t know California but I do know there are otherwise, plenty of conservative Hispanic voters around. You get a name like Cruz on the ticket, who knows?

I think that Hispanics may not like Republicans is exaggerated, at least some and is almost used to scare people.

Just have a platform and candidates who run on values.

They show their true establishment colors when they attack someone who has their finger on the REAL HOT BUTTON ISSUES . Cruz is not guilty of this but many are . Perhaps there is a kinder gentler way of saying what Trump says he stands for on these HOT BUTTON ISSUES but few are willing to even mention them . What they need to do is stop attacking the messenger and grow a set balls ( not you Carlie ) and stand up for the American Christian Conservative and fiscal responsibility which are all under attack from this administration and the radical left which includes all the DNC candidates .

How true. Large Hispanic populations in Illinois, California, and New York do not matter since they go blue no matter what. large Hispanic populations in Texas and Arizona don’t matter for the opposite reason. So what % of the vote and in what states are they really going after these hispanics?

Romney could have won 100 percent of the “Hispanic” votes and he still would have lost.

I’m all in favor of them attacking Trump, because to do so exposes their own weaknesses.

Trump is throwing out popular ideas. If they come out in opposition, criticizing his ideas, they show their own ideas and they can be held accountable for them.

No Republican should ever publicly attack a fellow Republican, for the same reason that no member of a baseball team, for example, should ever publicly attack a fellow team member.

In both cases, the organizations they work for are damaged.

As in all types of attacks, the victim has the right to defend himself, so Donald Trump can fire back when so inclined.

In choosing a president, character is important. So anyone like Rick Perry and Rand Paul, whose entire candidacies have so far been spent attacking their fellow candidates and thereby weakening the Republican party, should not be supported.

I agree. One thing I am struck by is that since there are so many Republican candidates, about 16, Graham, Kasich, Fiorina, including these types who are lesser known, the inside info must be that the GOP has a very good chance to take back the White House. Hope so.

And to the Donald: Please stop attacking the other Republican candidates with ad hominem attacks. Calling people stupid ads is not only uncivil, it detracts from your message. Oh, by the way, Mr. Trump, what exactly is your message other than you dislike illegal aliens and Chinese imports? I don't like them either, but what exactly is your solution to those problems?
