Ads From Donald Trump and Ted Cruz Play to Racist Fears
New York Times ^ | JAN. 12, 2016 | Emma Roller

Posted on 01/12/2016 8:47:49 AM PST by detective

In Donald J. Trump's first television ad of the 2016 campaign, released last week, a photo of Hillary Clinton and President Obama flashes across the screen, followed by stark black-and-white images of the San Bernardino, Calif., attackers, Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik.

"The politicians can pretend it's something else," the ad's narrator says. "But Donald Trump calls it radical Islamic terrorism. That's why he's calling for a temporary shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until we can figure out what's going on." The ad also promises that Mr. Trump will stop illegal immigration by "building a wall on our southern border that Mexico will pay for."

Why post anything from this tabloid. It is a mouthpiece for the RAT party and organized crime.

“Racism” is anything that doesn’t advance the agenda of the left.

Why post anything here from the New York Slimes

Remember Jason Blair, the times isn’t even good enough to wrap fish.

Do you think they ever are fair to Republicans?

The more we are aware of the opposition, the more we win.

Trump is adding 1 million new subscribers on his social media per month.

We can handle it.

The ad also promises that Mr. Trump will stop illegal immigration by "building a wall on our southern border that Mexico will pay for."

That wall/barrier will never happen.
This country relies heavily on the Mexican cheap labor and winter produce.

Also, Mexico will never pay for it. They are too busy paying for closing off, monitoring and shooting occasional smugglers and Central Americans who want to enter the "Giant of the North,"
Yep, Central Americans consider MEXICO as the "Giant of the North."
Hilarious, innit?
I only visited Central American for a short while, but I gleaned that from them. Yo hablo espanol muy bien.
The tilde with "n" doesn't come out here.

Trump knows that too and he will deal with it.

It is hollow though. The majority don’t even buy it. If that is all they have. I notice that Obama is no longer using that meme either most likely because they realize no one believes it.

The New York Times is not a tabloid. Tabloid refers to the size and shape of the newspaper. The New York Times is a full sized newspaper.

The reason to post from the NYT is that most of the MSM takes their direction from the NYT. The NYT heavily influences the tone and the vocabulary used in the national debate. Much of what is on TV news and cable news shows is strongly influenced by the NYT.

What happened to all the morons who couldn’t figure out how Trump would make corrupt Mexico pay for the wall?

These folks seem to be as rare as public pay phones.

For many decades, the U.S. has been flooded with tens of millions of foreign nationals and illegal aliens. But if ya complain you must be a racist?

We’re being led by mentally ill lunatics with bad agendas folks.
