The New York Times found what it called an “unlikely melting pot” when its reporters descended on a Donald Trump campaign office in Tampa, Fla.

“For a campaign frequently depicted as offering a rallying point for the white working class, the people volunteering to help Mr. Trump here are noteworthy for their ethnic diversity,” reported the Times on Sunday. “They include a young woman who recently arrived from Peru; an immigrant from the Philippines; a 70-year-old Lakota Indian; a teenage son of Russian immigrants; a Mexican-American.”

The Times article included anecdotes from several campaign workers, and drew some common themes.

Yeah, Trump is into diversity. He donated $20,000 to group promoting gay pedophilia -- GLSEN.

Google that.

The Times probably laid off enough people now....that it’s had to bring in real reporters from Tulsa and Charleston to work at what they can afford.

Every once in a while, a reporter stumbles on to and reports the truth.

I opened up my fresh steaming pile of NY Times this morning and curled up to this story.

Love the NY Times. They are so anti establishment.

Seriously, I wonder what was said at that closed door meeting Trump had with the Times last week?

I do think there's a difference between giving donations and getting donations--- unless there is an implied quid-pro-quo.

For the record, I'm not happy with Cruz' quest for LGBT movement allies, either.

Trump is fooling people. And there’s also this:

Real estate mogul and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said in an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday that it was possible he had donated to Planned Parenthood and that he wouldn’t commit to shutting down the government over the organization’s funding. -Caitlin Cruz

From what I have seen when you hire according to capability you still get diversity. And the benefits of good people.

There’s probably a lower level editor getting a serious dressing down right now, and then getting lectured to instruct the reporter he minds on how to write about diversity so that it sounds like racism.

I’m just a sinner saved by Grace. I’m not one of those pious, self-righteous Christians who only support someone who, in their biased opinions, think their shit don’t stink.

That is what is driving the Republocrats crazy; the dark slaves of the left are escaping their iron fist, and may be able to put him over the top if enough Republican voters, realizing they’ve been duped for decades, turn on their handlers as well.
