    Another lie. He never demonized latinos.

    Not true at all. Non Hispanic whites are 62% of the county's population, which makes them the majority.

    You're right. I must have been thinking of projected demographic shifts and mixed up the numbers. Memory can be a tricky thing sometimes.

    Right now nobody. This country is a plutocracy and neither the Dems nor the GOP have proven they can run the country. Right now the choices are between pieces of (*)(*)(*)(*) who like Pepsi (the GOP) and pieces of (*)(*)(*)(*) who like Coca-Cola (the Dems). No matter who wins, you are still getting a piece of (*)(*)(*)(*). Oh yeah great outcome there to fight over :roll:

    With continuing demographic sabotage being perpetuated against the majority, done for political purposes, you'll most likely be correct in a few decades.

    Getting muddled up in semantics is pointless. Video's like this is mobilizing the Latino Vote.

    Latino turnout is going to be high and it will be all voting "against" GOP.

    There is still part of me that thinks Trump is actually working for the Dem's.

    So you're saying Trump has about the same level of favorability amongst Latinos as any other Republican? What a huge loss to the GOP.

    I was referring more to the fast-breeding deluge of destitute 3rd world socialists from south of the border.

    But if you pay attention Trump is getting supporters from across party lines. The democrats identity politics looks like a big fail this time around.

    It depends on the situation. Someone naïve enough to believe violence is never a solution should take a couple history classes or step out into the real world, at least once.

    THIS protestor did not deserve to be assaulted. Plain and simple. If you support violence being used against this protestor you are making my point.

    I will agree he did not deserve to be assaulted for simply protesting, however I have a feeling there is a lot that happened that didn't make it to the finished video.

    Meh, it is apathy at best. Perhaps you should look that word up.

    You can claim the video was "heavily edited" and in lefty world that makes it false.

    When someone says "he deserved it", that isn't apathy, that is support.

    I agree that Trump is getting support from both independents and Dems. I think Trump is actually the best chance, and probably only hope, for the GOP.

    You need to give more clarification on what you mean by "identity politics"... not sure what you mean.

    The Dems are working on a fairly solid populist message while the GOP is in disarray. The problem is that Hilly is "establishment" and there is an anti-establishment movement afoot.

    Trump is capitalizing on this movement for sure but he still has more selling to do to prove his anti-establishment creds. Keep in mind that a large part of the anti-establishment crowd are informed voters and these are not easily swayed by platitudes.

    The problem is that he is mobilizing Latino's (mobilization of minorities is not good for GOP in general) and they will almost all be voting against him. Blacks are also mobilized for this election and they mostly vote Dem.

    The moves of the GOP in various states to make voting more difficult for minorities was a blunder. When you try to keep something away from people it has the effect of making them covet that thing. They shot themselves in the foot. By trying to decrease voter turnout they have increased it.

    Trump is fighting an uphill battle.

    Trump has been largely silent on Abortion and this a good thing. Most I think consider him rather moderate on abortion. If he was to open his mouth "like Carson" on Abortion I believe Trumps chances in the general election would be toast.

    Hatred of Brown People? Is that all you see is skin color? I see a disruptive loudmouth, not a skin color, and outside of the Left, that is probably how most folks see it.

    The PC crowd seems to have most folks cowed, Trump faces you unbowed. That is why he is such a ratings magnet. It's not so much that they approve of Trump, but you folks, they deeply disapprove of.

    You do realize that the term implies (correctly as it happens) that WE'RE the invaders and THEY'RE the folks defending the homeland. So you're against stopping illegal invaders stealing a country?

    Yes , I realize the narrative they promote. They sold the land or lost it during war. Done deal. They can reignite the war if they like, plenty will shoot back. But they prefer the Silent Revolution tactics where all who fight back are called racists, in the war of words.

    Leftist agitator enters a political rally on his feet to disrupt. He left being carried out on his back. Beautiful. God Bless America.

    You say po-tay-to, I say po-tah-to....it seems the general consensus is that this was no big deal. I believe most people could care less about someone protesting getting pushed around a little. It is expected. Many demonstrations end up with some type of collateral damage. Just look at Ferguson and Baltimore. Didn't hear much about the massive damage done in those places. Perhaps people are used to seeing that level of carnage so when someone gets pushed around a little it is no big deal.

    Who is defending the homeland? Your post is confusing.

    Just speculating. The cheering is a calculated reaction certain people want. Sort of like random signs at Tea Party rally's popping up and if you watch the MSM, that's all you see. 1 out out of 100s of signs, but you would think they're ALL bad=) Marketing 101 and the Democrats have perfected it since 08.

    Heck, go ask specifically what Trump said that would make him for example RACIST against immigrants, and 999/1000 Democrats wouldn't even have a clue. They just know they're SUPPOSED to hate him, like nice little sheep.

    I'm in Florida, the natives bankroll the state, they also beat Jackson when he tried to steal the land. So not really relevant in my case.
