In the 45-minute festival of narcissism that was Donald Trumps rambling presidential announcement, one particularly nasty passage proved him to be a menace to the Republican Party. It was the one about Mexican immigrants.
The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody elses problems. [Applause] Thank you. Its true, and these are the best and the finest. When Mexico sends its people, theyre not sending their best. Theyre not sending you. Theyre not sending you. Theyre sending people that have lots of problems, and theyre bringing those problems with us. Theyre bringing drugs. Theyre bringing crime. Theyre rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.
That plays well with many far-right Republican primary voters desperately clinging to an America that no longer exists. But such rhetoric is the death knell for the GOP and the party knows it. The Republican autopsy of its thumping in the 2012 presidential elections was blunt in its self-assessment. Asked to describe Republicans, the report notes on page 8, [focus group attendees] said that the Party is scary, narrow minded, and out of touch and that we were a Party of stuffy old men. Sounds like Trump.

But sadly a lot of conservatives are getting dumber. They actually buy the Stephen Colbert routine.
Beware Pubbies, of the Stalking Horse for Hillary, The Donald.......he is in this to get Hillary elected.....period.
I googled. The first result was a white guy. http://www.greenvilleonline.com/story/news/crime/2014/07/02/serial-child-rape-case-leaves-mysteries-suspect-dead/12091521/
That’s the one! The party that got to the bottom of and held accountable those responsible for Fast & Furious, IRS abuses and Benghazi.
Fantastic party, that.
The media will promote and support tRump until he gets the nomination. Then they will turn on him like a pack of rabid dogs.
Republicans should NEVER support a candidate that the media likes.
Trump is campaigning for Hellary.
Guess Jonathon Capehart hasn’t seen the pictures of the rape tree out in the desert of So Cal where the “coyotes” hang up the underwear of the victims they brought across the border.
I guarantee that Trump will say something even dumber before the year is out.
Lemmings get led over cliffs
Much of what you say is true, but throwing in the towel is a stupid and lazy strategy. Many "principled conservatives" seem to be folks who would rather bitch and whine because it's so much more satisfying than actually expending energy/time/money towards actually supporting conservatives. They cheer when it looks like our side wins one and quickly get too tired to do anything when we take a hit. Anchors, every one of them.
Perino was really upset that Trump crashed her little party. She knows he is now the elephant in the room and is going to go after Jeb. She showed why she was a lousy spokesman for Bush.
Pray America is waking
Capehart, the author, is a leftist lying hate America type.
I have news for the WaPo. Its not Trump that’s going to keep us out of the Whitehouse its putting up a dull, boring establishment candidate who cannot motivate the GOP base to get off the couch and go vote. 3 million sat home last time. If the Republican Congress keeps selling us down the river then 6 million will sit home in 2016.
Blacks and Hispanics vote Democratic. The only person who might steal some Democrat votes is Trump by the way.
It seems we’ve entered into a whole new era. The landscape has changed...Very quickly.
I was ready to break into unconsciousness. Sinking into a couch ridden depressing stupor with all these candidates.
Then it was suggested I watch Trump’s 1 hour speech.
Suddenly the sun broke out and I thought I heard the flowers singing.
lol...
Why won't you address this? Why won't any of Trump's fanboys address his hypocrisy?
You aren't helping your candidate. I hope you know that. Slavering adoration turns other candidates away.
There have been 4,317 charges of child sexual assault filed against illegal aliens in North Carolina in 2014.
Not the fact that illegal aliens commit crimes.
OK, Great. Illegal aliens add 4 THOUSAND extra to the number of child rapes, in the 10th largest state. That number I gave ( I thought it was 6000+ --Theat might have been from another state) is all illegals. I wonder what the # is in the 9th, 8th, 7th, 6th, 5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd, and 1st largest states.
Effectively, every single one of these illegal alien rapists (90-95%) are from below the border. I assume some may be from Canada or England or Japan--not. Maybe Africa and islamic countries. But ALMOST every. Single. One of those illegal rapists are from Mexico or Central America.
