Around two-thirds of legal Hispanics in America speak english. I have nothing but respect for them. The other third should either learn english or leave. You've oviously never seen a hispanic enclave where every sign and service is in Spanish.

I don't care if illegals speak perfect english. I don't care if they're Australian, Japanese, Mexican, Russian or Whatever. They should still be deported.

To be fair, that quote's a bit out of context. After that, he says the following:

quote:

The problem with saying that guys like that are monsters is that we don’t see them coming when they turn out to be human, which they all are. Everyone is. Trump is a messed up guy with a hole in his heart that he tries to fill with money and attention. He can never ever have enough of either and he’ll never stop trying. He’s sick. Which makes him really really interesting. And he pulls you towards him which somehow feels good or fascinatingly bad. He’s not a monster. He’s a sad man. But all this makes him horribly dangerous if he becomes president.

I don't agree with his letter 100% either, but I do understand the point he's making in this section, and it's a valid one. True historical monsters almost never look like monsters at the beginning.

quote:

Proving once again that Donald Trump does whatever Donald Trump wants, the GOP frontrunner knowingly violated the rules at the Republican debate on Thursday night by speaking with his campaign manager during a commercial break, according to a report from CNN's Dylan Byers. Candidates are forbidden from communicating with their campaign staff during debate breaks, but that's apparently a rule which Trump has routinely broken at previous debates by speaking with manager Corey Lewandowski backstage. On Thursday night, however, Lewandowski actually came out onto stage to have the meeting. When Fox News staff were unable to convince him to leave, they then told the other campaigns that they could also have access to their candidates for the remainder of the debate, though it's unclear what impact, if any, this may have had on the candidates' performances.

Seems fair game to me, if anything, Cruz should be hammering Trump on this.

I don't give Trump much credit in terms of his political instincts - I think he's lucked out amazingly on a lot of fronts up to this point. But he does seem to have a talent of being able to prevent his opponents from retaliating without seeming like whiny losers. I'm not 100% certain of how he does it, but I'm guessing part of it just has to do with him being able to read his audience better than Cruz or Rubio.

The difference is that Trump reacts to things like something resembling a normal human being, whereas politicians are trained to respond to criticism in an alien manner to avoid being "labeled" as something negative.

ratfucking and not following the rules of debates are two different things. the hosts of the debates are spineless morons more concerned with the number of eyes watching their debate than they are with actually providing a legitimate debate platform. if they had a spine they would have done something about it but trump has been dealing with these idiots long enough to know they'd never eject ratings gold. cruz intentionally lying to carson supporters is totaly different.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.
