OK, This Trump Thing Isn’t Funny Anymore
THE DAILY BEAST ^ | 08.27.15 | Barrett Holmes Pitner

Posted on 08/27/2015 7:26:09 AM PDT by McGruff

As his poll numbers steadily keep him in a comfortable first place in the crowded GOP field, and he packs stadiums—receiving raucous applause in Alabama and along the Mexican border—his fiery and divisive rhetoric has taken on a new meaning. His positions have now become the focal point of the GOP field and all candidates must respond to Trump before they can proceed.

What he and his supporters say can no longer be considered a joke. During his rally in Mobile, Alabama screams of “white power” could be heard from the audience. And last week, two white ex-cons from Boston beat up a homeless Hispanic man, and upon their arrest they told the police, “Donald Trump was right, all these illegals need to be deported.”

“And last week, two white ex-cons from Boston beat up a homeless Hispanic man, and upon their arrest they told the police, “Donald Trump was right, all these illegals need to be deported.”

And not only that, a car in front of me with a “Make America Great Again” did a rolling stop for the stop sign in front of me. Clearly Trump is a scumbag.

[btw, dailybeast just removed their commenting function from their site. clearly they couldn’t handle the feedback to their propaganda, so now they’re simply another pure propaganda site that disallows dissent.]

If these policies were enacted, what would prevent American citizens from destroying the documentation of legal Hispanic immigrants, and forcefully deporting them or using the threat of deportation as leverage for rampant abuse?

The Left is getting absolutely hysterical at the thought of a Trump presidency .... all the more reason to think Trump is hitting the "target(s)" dead on. I dare say a lot of ILLEGALS would self-deport if President Trump is ever inaugurated - they always have that choice instead of being 'rounded up'. Frankly, I have no soft spot, no sympathy for those in this country illegally. Truly legal immigrants who go through the system & want to be AMERICANS (not those allowed to stay by Obama EO, etc.) - no problem.

The left and right powers that be are literally sweating the nuts. Someone has finally came along and unleashed the Silent Majority. No more tippy-toeing, no more ass kissing. We have been silent for far too long. No one has been willing to listen to us for fear of backlash from every minority on the planet. I personally don’t care what your religion is, as long as it means no harm to me or my family. You will be judged one day and it will not be by me. I don’t care what your sexual orientation is, as long as it doesn’t involve kids and my pets. I am not a conservative, I am a Republican. There is a difference.

“screams of white power could be heard from the audience” yeah sure... Where’s the recording?

And if it’s true, which it is not but lets pretend.. who was saying it? So now we can implicate 30,000 people in a crowd because one or two people yell something? Yeah sure.

[Even his campaign slogan “Make America Great Again” stokes a nationalistic fervor that makes some Americans—predominately conservative white Americans—feel as though they are under attack from ruinous anti-American elements that need to be defeated.]

This observation is spot on. A random act of journalism. That’s exactly what we feel like and the more they (the dems, the media, the GOPe, the liberals) discount our feeling that way, the more Trump will rise in the polls.

From the writer’s photo and youthful appearance, I’m going to (take a lefty header and) assume that all his life he’s been given `participation trophies’ as well as been told, whenever he presented his work (as it is),
“That’s a good thing you did, Barrett. That’s a real good thing!”

We refused to genuflect at the altar of Diversity, so I suppose that makes us raciss ....

The joke is over. The horrors of a Trump presidency should not be lost on anyone. His immigration plan calls for the deportation of the estimated 11-12 million undocumented immigrants who have entered via our southern border. This position has definitely stoked the fire of Americans who are not pleased with our immigration policies, but an America that rounds up and forcefully removes a race or class of people is most certainly a dystopian nation that encourages lawlessness and anarchy.

Lets get this straight. If we round up and remove illegal immigrants we encourage lawlessness and anarchy. But, if we allow them to continue to break the law, we do not.

Where was this moron supposedly "educated". And, an even better question. With logic skills like these, why is he still employed?

True, and I wish those people would find someone else to support. But the press is making hay with this, and discrediting a few of these would go a long way to blunt the meme.

It may be small consolation but Trump will never be president. He might get the GOP nomination. If he does he will lose, I believe very badly, in the general election. We are driving off a political cliff.

FWIW and repeating what I have said for months, I will not vote for the man under any circumstances.

You don't think some of these people are plants? Suckers.

As evidence, I present Jorge Ramos. A consistent Clinton plant.

When you find yourself agreeing with leftists and Democrats (but I repeat myself) you may not be the conservative you thought you were.

President Hillary Clinton will appreciate your non vote.
