The speech was clearly not meant to appeal to black voters but instead to let the people in the room walk away comforted by the fact that they are totally not racist and any minority opposition towards their political ideology is wholly unjustified.

Sustainable election strategy? Maybe not but boy does it feel good!

Selling Trump to African Americans is the boldest poo poo I've ever heard. "Help us attain power and you'll be a distant third in our crosshairs behind Hispanics and anyone we can assume is Muslim. 100 years ago you would have taken that deal!"

By this point I don't see why he doesn't just toss us in with them. From the polls, it is not mathematically possible for his support among African Americans to go any lower.

Again, I don't see why he's bothering. Naked bigotry is true core of his campaign, so why not just own up to it? It's what his audience would love more than pretending to respect those "urban ferals" they've heard of, but never actually seen.

Ted cruz is a cynical, soulless piece of poo poo without a shred of morals to his body, that's still better than a retarded orange manbaby for president. The bar for "less lovely than Donald Trump" is unbelievably low, is what I'm saying.

I respect Ted Cruz for doing his utmost to win for R's. I think we need more D's who care about winning within the party objectives over trying bullshit like 'compromise' and 'bipartisanship.'

To do this, I say we wage war on suburbs via Federal policy implementation.

WARNING! INTRUDERS DETECTED

The weirdest thing to come out of this election might be Trump's open hostility towards Hispanics still earning him maybe 10% of their vote while getting less than 5% of the black vote while trying to court the black vote. I suppose the 19% in Florida can be explained by Cuban voters being all "He's talking about Mexicans, not me."

I suppose the AA community by and large is just better up to speed due to decades of having to deal with this same poo poo in different guises, and maybe they're a more regular and cohesive voting bloc in general.

There are still people alive from the "let's pretend to be white like the Italians and Greeks" generation of Mexicans, so it's pretty likely that those types are the ones voting conservative.

There's a lot of vendido snotrags in the OC that think since they're blondish or fair skinned they'll avoid the purge and furthermore you will find no trace of an accent or affectation towards foreign pronunciation when they order the KaySaDilia Combo at Taco Bell. Plus their parents emmigrated *the right way*.

They also make like 120,000 from construction or a professional business so they're not like common laborers.

Sometimes recent immigrants overcompensate out of a sense of insecurity. Some of the most anti-immigration people I know are 2nd generation Asians. Also, Jews and Blacks know full well that this is not merely rhetoric or dog-whistling but something altogether new and sinister

2nd generation tends to hyperassimilate and reject their heritage, 3rd generation tends to want to go back to their roots.

I'm hoping this means that the new NYT story that's dropping this week must be BRUTAL on Manafort. Like, dude is going to jail soon brutal. Ease the new people into running the campaign tomorrow, then the Times story comes out on Friday and absolutely wrecks Manafort into resigning. Please give us this.

I feel like that would actually be good for the campaign so I don't want that to happen.

What would be better is if the Manafort story is just brutal enough to get Trump to defend Manafort in a stream of consciousness word salad that openly venerates Putin.

I have to say, I think one of the most heartening things to come out of today is the media's utter refusal to believe that Trump actually gives a poo poo about African-Americans. Usually Republicans do their little tour of African-American organizations and spout their bullshit and the media just sort of glosses over the fact that Republican policies will hurt AAs. Today CNN's response to Trump's speech is "Please, we all know Trump doesn't give a flying gently caress about black people, let's not pretend otherwise."

I thought the judge hosed up the oath and Obama, being the cool cat that he is, just went along with it to avoid embarassing the guy and they did the real oath off camera later on.

The rumors that have been coming out of the Trump campaign for months have been that he's chafing under Manafort's attempts to keep him on message and prevent him from saying stupid poo poo (for all the good that's done) and that he wants to bring back someone like Lewandowski who will basically let him do whatever he wants. I have no doubt that that's exactly what a couple of Breitbart writers would do.
