That's great, but whoever buys that as an emoticon, fix up the transparency first. We don't want another :boehner:.

I really need to get something other than MS Paint if I'm gonna be a good emoticoner :smith:

Apparently paint.NET is free and can do transparency, but I've never used it.

Not sure about her face, but I did some work in Houston for HP a few years ago, and I certainly don't want her running the country.

It's be so much easier to love the Donald if he weren't a heinous racist. If he just shut the gently caress up about Mexico, Mexicans and everything tangentially related, he'd be a much more agreeable person.

This is all a calculated business move. Trump is not abdiehard true believer like the Kochs. Trump is a racist, for sure, but not specifically to mexicans. He tested the waters by going nuts at obama birth certificate and see what the reaction of the base was. It was favorable though not as anti black but he smelled that blood is in the water, that it was easy to rile up the base on non-issues. The move to single out mexicans is designed to counter jeb, who could've polled well with latinos like george w did. He burned that demographic to lure in the others since he has no hope to gain their favor anyway.

Trump is not trying to win the nomination by being the most electable. He's trying to win it by holding some of the demographics hostage and strong-arming the reps to comply. This is how a ruthless businessman would negotiate, not a politician.

This makes a disturbing amount of sense.
And it would also be karma for McCain's black baby in 2000.

Not only did he burn the hispanic demographic, he made it impossible to reach out to them without alienating the base. Every time Jeb tries to show his hispanic street cred it just makes it look more and more like some kind of racial capitulation to them.

Yeah Trump is pretty cagey and this is clearly a method to the madness type situation. It takes skill to be a con man and his masterstroke was waiting until this cycle to run - he would have been eviscerated under "normal" conditions and if he had the stink of failed past campaigns on him he wouldn't be able to strut around like he's cock of the walk.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

I don't get the impression that Trump is any more racist than most rich old white men, which is to say he's plenty casual racist but in the way that he doesn't actually think about it or give a poo poo about race as anything but possible PR leverage.

Your statement is full of micro-aggressions. "Cultural reference frames" everyone knows what that is a code word for. "Bigoton field" really? maybe you should just say cotton field and let us all know how you feel.
