In South Carolina, he confronts a changing Republican Party trying to bury its past.
Donald Trump is campaigning Wednesday in a South Carolina where the Republican Party has been turning the page on a divisive racial past: The state boasts the first black Republican U.S. senator elected to Congress from the south in over a century, an Indian-American Republican governor, and a Republican-controlled legislature that voted in July to remove a Confederate flag from the grounds of its State House.
So much for all that.
As Trump prepared to attend events with Sen. Tim Scott and the state’s African American Chamber of Commerce, national Republican leaders are saying his candidacy is pushing the party backwards on matters of race and inclusiveness.
“Donald Trump in and of himself represents a tremendous setback for anybody who’s trying to expand the party in an inclusive direction,” said Ari Fleischer, a former White House press secretary to George W. Bush and the co-author of a 2013 Republican National Committee report dissecting 2012 Republican losses that recommended making minority outreach a pillar of the party’s future....

Except that these are supposed Republicans saying it....
Ari is Jewish. Wait till he sees the support the NYC Jewish community is giving Trump
More propaganda to convince you to give up your country without a fight.
The Cheap Labor Express has invested billions in keeping us from electing anyone who would stop them.
I think we see the theme of the week.
Yes, Trump is the ONLY Repub candidate who has EVER garnered the amount of the black and hispanic support that he’s getting.
For has been’s Ari Fleischer and Michael (Never did ANYTHING for GOP) Steele to criticize Trump....more than they do ANY Dim....is quite telling.
They’re out for blood, with Trump, because he disrupts their DC/COC/Lobbyist gravy train. Speaking of which...I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the rabid Trump detractors, here, are are on the Cheap Labor Express payroll ;-)
Ari Fleischer is upset that his GOPe meal ticket is being derailed. Tough ca-ca, Ari.
When I want the opinion of GOPe “leaders”, I’ll beat it out of them with a Louisville Slugger.

A three time loser, then. We’re all ears, Ari. Not only are you a moron, but you prove you are a moron by imagining anyone should be listening to you. You are being proven wrong in real time, in front of your face, by poll after poll, and you still can’t see it.
What a pantload. I watched both events. Trump was not only well received, he got tons of applause, and a standing ovation at the Chamber.
watch when it gets close..they will cave EVERY damn time..to help us idiots out!!!...I'm starting to hate the “friends” I helped get elected!!!...
What is it about being “elected”. that put their finger to the wind to stay there???...I'm serious!...they all hated the "Club" before they joined it....( I gotta laff)
I’m sure he’ll think that’s terrible too!
Unless Trump pulls out of the race he’ll win the SC primary going away. The people of South Carolina like patriotic men with balls of brass to run the country, not RINOs. If Trump pulls out Cruz will win.
While, outside of Washington, people of all races recognize that Trump is pushing the party forward on matters of illegal immigration.
Washington is clueless.
WTF are they talking about?
Don’t these jerks know history?
Democrats = slave owners
Democrats = KKK
Democrats = Segregationist
Democrats = the racists
Why do we pick up the BS from the other side and claim it for ourselves?
The DNC is the party of slavery, before the Civil War,
and today, and the party that promotes crucifixion,
genocide, rape, and chemical weapons for ISIS and al Qaeda
(albeit helped by McCain and complicitly by the rest
of the SECRET-document-loving, lying, EXEMPT GOP).
They do. It's the planet Washington -- which orbits the star Oblivious, in a solar system far, far away.
Must see video! Please do not miss this video!
Thanks for posting lopeover!
