Donald Trump, derider of Mexican illegal immigrants, insulter of POWs and GOP front-runner, kicked journalist Jorge Ramos out of a press conference Tuesday evening.
The billionaire later allowed Ramos back into the press conference, where the two engaged in several lengthy exchanges that dominated the remainder of the event. But none of those exchanges provided the moment that will be repeated in endless loops on cable TV, shared on social media and discussed in Hispanic TV-watching households across the country.
The lasting image will be that of Ramos -- who serves as Univision's lead anchor and is effectively one of the (if not the) most powerful newsmen on Spanish-language TV -- being hustled out of the room after trying to ask Trump a question. Ramos, whose nightly newscast has been known to post ratings that top those of all three major English-language network news programs, has a history of holding presidential candidates very close to fire on issues he believes to be of deep concern to Latinos, such as immigration.

Univision should be forced to broadcast their shows in english.
In all fairness....Ramos [who is as tall as security’s belt buckle] must be under 5’ tall. Curse to be short and have to throw around machismo to feel taller.
Oh no - there goes the votes from the Illegals.
Maybe one of the RINO’s can apologize and kiss their asses.
He wanted to jump in front of all the others, and be rewarded with asking his question. Very symbolic, don’t you think?
VERY symbolic...of the problemo we’re dealing with. Thank you, Trump, for exposing this so perfectly.
I kept hearing babebaba from Ramos while Trump was talking and it was nonstop. I was shocked how tolerant Trump was for so long. What an obnoxious babbler!
WHITE LATINO
There’s almost no other kind.
Go to Spain. One of the whitest countries in Europe now, since they have fewer Muslim immigrants then Germany, France and England.
And it’s a diverse group: blondes, brunettes and redheads (quite a few of that), with eye colors all over the map - blue, green, hazel, and of course brown.
But it’s a far whiter country then, say...the United States.
So, uh...what “race” is a Latino? Let me give you the one word answer: Caucasian.
Just people from a different country, speaking a different language then the Americans.
No biggie. Just facts.
Good points.
These media types think reality is at the end of a keyboard when in truth media types are clueless as to what is really happening.
Ramos believes he is a king maker and trump has relegated him court jester where they all belong.
Simply delicious!
Cruz got this same guy to admit to some of his hypocrisy. Meanwhile Trump is so scared of him he had to have him kicked out. He can prevail over him at his own press conference. Shades of Bill Clinton avoiding talking to the press for two years. Can we afford to have this weak and wimpy a man in the presidency? If this Ramos idiot is too strong for Trump, what is he going to do when confronted with Putin or ISIS? Hide in a closet? When the 3:00 AM call come, will he have the phone kicked out of the White House so he doesn’t have to deal with it?
This country can’t afford to have such a pathetic, weak leader.
I hear Jeb is looking for campaign help...you would be perfect.
Go piss up a rope...
Is that you,JEB?
Kind of a metaphor for Jan 20, 2017 ... Just sayin
If you didn’t exist we’d invent you just to make sure we had a town clown.
“The billionaire later allowed Ramos back into the press conference, where the two engaged in several lengthy exchanges that dominated the remainder of the event.”
The above quote from the article could not be further from the truth. Ramos did not dominate the rest of the event. He gave him about 10 minutes and that was it. These people are such liars.
.... allowed back in if they can behave themselves.
Jerry claimed on Celebrity Apprentice that he basically started the selfie trend.
He stripped down to his underwear during a photo shoot to get attention and walked around pumping barbells. Jerry thought it was the best at everything on the show

Ramos also refused to answer a question Trump posed to him.
Paraphrased:
“Can you at least agree the violent criminals should go?”
Crickets...
You can disparage me, but apparently you can’t dispute me.
Just like Bill Clinton? Trump can’t stand up like a man.
People from Spain aren’t Latino, they’re Spanish.
Latinos are from Latin America. Some are descended from Spanish colonialists, others are Aztec, Mayan, Incan, etc etc. Many are descended from both.
It was a beautiful sight to behold!
GO Mr. Trump, GO!
