    I've never had much understanding for republicans but they had commitment to their country's position, external policies and influence in the world. Trump is the Antichrist to everything they have ever stood for.
    They should get rid of this roadkill-wigged clown, lick their wounds, sort their shit out, get rid of McConnell for gross incompetence, and come back in the next election or the one after that with a sensible candidate.
    They won't. We've all seen Priebus' memo about the GOP needing to ditch the bigotry and try to sell fiscal conservatism to a broader, more multicultural demographic. That was in 2012, and here we are.

    The Republican Party had its chance to get its act together and chose to double down on becoming the party of evangelical white supremacists and failed. All we can do at this point is keep beating it down until a more moderate right wing party emerges to replace it.

    Maybe the US should pay for the border wall, and pay alimony to Mexico to keep white supremacists.

    You can guarantee every Democratic campaign next year will be smearing their Republican opponents with this, demanding to know whether they support Donald Trump abusing the powers of the presidency for his own personal benefit or not.

    It's a no win situation for Republicans; if they oppose Trump, they might not survive the primaries. If they support him, they might not survive the general election.

    Calling it now, they probably won't because they suck at politics.

    If Democrats don't use this against the GOP, they are going to be dumb as hell.

    Then the white supremacist would be having mass confusion once they see how many white skinned Mexicans there are and gingers.

    Large majorities of black and Hispanic voters think Trump's presidency has made things worse for people like them, according to a poll released Monday.

    The Associated Press/NORC Center for Public Affairs Research survey found that about two-thirds of Americans overall disapprove of how Trump is handling race relations.

    Just 4 percent of African Americans surveyed said that Trump's actions have been good for African Americans in general, while 81 percent said he’s made things worse. Sixty-nine percent of Hispanic respondents said Trump’s actions have been bad for Hispanics generally, while only 19 percent think they’ve been good.
    It's almost like the "Blacks love me!" and "Hispanics love me!" claims are, unsurprisingly, not reinforced with actual numbers.

    I wonder what the breakdown on Cuban and non-Cuban Hispanics is like.

    Obviously the problem is that most Hispanics don't know he ate a Taco Bowl, because the dishonest media doesn't cover the important stories like the presidential consumption of Taco Bowls.

    My God, that's horrible. Why can't all news media be like FoxNews and praise Trump's cultural diversity and choice of ethnic food like he deserves.

    That’s likely the source of their conspiracy theory. They are likely exploring his leads... I don’t know who this guy is... but... I can guess.
