If American citizens commit crimes and get separated from their families and sent to jail its justice. If non-Americans commit the crime of illegally entering the U.S. or overstaying a visa and get separated from their families and merely sent back to their country of citizenship, why, it's NAZI HITLER RACIST ETHNIC CLEANSING!!!!!!

But all these are saying it's correct to call Trump a fascist? Only the last one says that it's silly because people have always acted this evil. There really isn't anything wrong with calling out Trump for running on an extreme racist platform.

Anyway, if we have 2 people out of the kids table, and Trump bailing out of the big peoples debate, wouldn't it make more sense for Fox to just merge them all onto the main stage at this point?

Huck and Santorum are planning to show up at trump's event after the undercard, not instead of it. No way he pulls anyone away during their actual time on stage

No it was clear in context. If you want something with no context that nobody called racist look a Hilary saying the Iranians were her enemy. If you treated her anything like Trump, you'd have to say she's a racist and hates all the Iranians including citizens and those living in America.

Insane is the only way to describe it.

Supporting enforcement of our existing and very generous immigration laws and not supporting special treatment for people who break our immigration laws can only be described as "racist" "ethnic cleansing" etc. by people who are completely hosed up in the head.

It's absurd. We are suddenly a nation of hysterical crybabies who respond to any disagreement with over the top hyperbole.

Please explain what makes our immigration laws so very generous and liberal as you like to describe them

I think Clinton is stronger than Sanders in a general election.

:agreed:

I also think she's more likely to successfully plow an agenda through despite a recalcitrant Congress, and probably already has a dozen names of good SCOTUS nominees prepared.

I love a lot of Bernie's ideals, but I don't trust him to get the policy ideals passed, nor to deviate from the "how government should work" process ideals enough to advance an agenda. More relevant to this thread, I don't trust him to navigate a general election campaign where ratfucking will be a gentle, everyday how-do-you-do. Even if it's not Trump, the Republican nominee will have a staff refined in bastard-fire from this primary campaign, including any staff they can sign up from their primary opponents' campaigns. Any Democrat who cannot eat hatred to become stronger, will fail.

e: Plus, the atheism thing. If you think Trump or one of the establishment people wouldn't fire that bullet, you're rock-dumb. Imagine Cruz's Canadian citizenship, except the attacked candidate just shrugs and says "well it's not completely untrue but I wouldn't say it's 100% true, and anyway why should it matter?" or whatever Sanders would say.

Trump's also repeatedly mentioned his "tremendous respect for the Mexican people" so maybe you should believe his nuance on other statements instead of blatantly waving them on. It's ridiculous how he doesn't even get half the benefit of the doubt that other candidates do.

I'm arguing that the American Left is going to be too stupid and stubborn to learn from Europe and all of this "people have a problem with the current state of immigration and immigrants are nazis" is only going to give the US the same result, which is basically more nazis.

I think the fascism is more in reference to the stopping all immigration from Muslim countries and asking that Muslims be put in a big database so we can keep an eye on them, I think.

Makes sense. After all, Venezuela is what your nation looks like after your own Bernie Sanders comes to power.

Well, not for long, at this rate.

Besides, the raw value is less important than the percentage. What percent of America is illegal immigrants? What percent of Germany? What were those percents one year ago?

There's a quote out there about how Trump has two goals in all of this: win, and prevent Bush from winning. He has a personal vendetta against the Bushes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8TwRmX6zs4

Everyone saying this needs to rewatch the whitehouse correspondent's dinner. Its a reimagining of the pigs blood scene from carrie or the flashback in a batman film where the villain snaps. Trump will do anything to give Obama his biggest poo poo eating grin as he has to hand the keys to the whitehouse over.
