White Identity Politics. . . that’s quite a stretch. . .

If the Dems play identity politics and minorities vote lockstep with the Dems, why shouldn’t the GOP appeal to white voters who have voted majority Rep for several decades.

Got it. If you support Trump, then you must be racist. Same exact thing if you didn’t vote for Obama or oppose his polices: you’re racist.

I know quite a few blacks that would like to deport all the illegals here. Does that make them racist?

It’s not white people’s fault if most black people would rather blindly follow the black and white Uncle Tom Democrats whose only message is that freedom is “on-you-own” economics and that that people need to be enslaved by the government.

It’s not white people’s fault that so many black people don’t want to attend conservative rallies and vote for conservatives. There are plenty of positive black conservative role models.

If the majority of black people don’t want join white people in a fight for liberty, limited government and the rule of constitutional law, that’s their choice. That makes THEM the racists.

the Race Card antenna has got a hit. If I was playing Monopoly and all I drew was the Race Card, I would burn the card. I am so sick and tired of the Race Card, they can take them and stick them where the sunshine don’t shine.

No country has ever undergone this rapid a demographic change without being conquered first.

The new meme is going to be that constitutionalism, classic liberalism, conservatism, are “acting white”. Sort of like getting good grades in school.

I wonder if Jeb Bush knew this attack was coming before he had his head photoshopped onto a black man’s body?

That’s a heck of a screed considering that it’s obvious this guy didn’t read Trump’s immigration policy.

How many times does it mention the damage illegal immigration is causing the black community? 10-15 times at least.

One of the reasons I found it so genius. It tells black folks we want them along for the ride, but doesn’t pander to them.

I’d say Trump is about “American-Identity”; I think the writer has a bit of a bigoted understanding in calling this “White-Identity”. Trump polled the best among Republicans (I gather) with Hispanics in Nevada. This is a fight for the heart and soul of America, yes, we may be having changing demographics to an extent but as Trump says, it’s because our leaders are “stupid”, simply put. He’s trying to tap into the new “silent majority”, that too, may well work. Enough of a rant for now.

I thought the Federalist was more of a Conservative website but 2 recent articles have looked to me like rather liberal understandings of these news events.

It’s a crying shame, some people are of such low moral character that even with the shamefulness of the Planned Parenthood videos and a woman who could face jail time, they would still vote Democratic.

The article reads: “In Europe, it’s bad”, well, I don’t think the UKIP are bad, they are a version of the Tea Party from what I see.
