    If Trump made no comments on race, then how could the Democrats make that claim? Paul Ryan is Democrat control of the GOP base?

    You are kidding right? Democrats never need racism to find it.

    Paul Ryan - "Trump's remarks (on Latino judge) are a textbook definition of a racist comment."
    You were saying?

    Name calling is hardly required.

    But Trump does it every time he opens his mouth, which makes your post a textbook example of hypocracy!

    Geezer I wonder why . Does anyone think it might have something to do with the media spewing out that Trump is a racist, trump Isa bigot, trump hates women, trump hates babies, but trump loves him some Russians and putin 23.5 hours a day. But to be fair , theyou do say hillary made a mistake as a crooked s.o.s. but she learned her lesson.

    The media merely has to report Trump's exact words. He discredits himself without any help from the media.

    An article from last year...

    [h=1]Nationwide Poll: Majority of Republicans Have Nakedly Racist Worldview—Trump Has Found the Way to Unleash It[/h]
    A new national poll released Tuesday has found that a majority of the Republican Party is living in a strange and dangerous political fantasyland.


    “Our new poll finds that [Donald] Trump is benefiting from a GOP electorate that thinks Barack Obama is a Muslim and was born in another country,” Public Policy Polling’s analysis said. “Sixty-six percent of Trump's supporters believe that Obama is a Muslim to just 12 percent that grant he's a Christian. Sixty-one percent think Obama was not born in the United States to only 21 percent who accept that he was.”

    Then why don't they? If he is condemned by his own words why is everything pulled out of context edited for effect and generally twisted out of all resemblance to what he actually said.

    Trump's exact words, without any twisting:

    “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending the best. They’re not sending you, they’re sending people that have lots of problems and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bring crime. They’re rapists… And some, I assume, are good people.”

    “Our great African-American President hasn’t exactly had a positive impact on the thugs who are so happily and openly destroying Baltimore.”

    And then there were his comments about a judge he wrongly identified as Mexican. So the context isn't twisted you can read the verbatim interview here.

    Trump's own words, without any journalistic comment, absolutely condemn him as a bigot.

    Dead wrong of course. His Problems with Curial extend from the fact that Curial belongs to every open borders group in the country and Trump is the antithesis. That is whether you like it or not that is a clear conflict of interest for which the judge should have recused himself even if he were a Boston Brahmin. So the assumption that some are good people makes him racist? Or is it his belief that all those poor Mexican women the Fusion magazine claims are being raped on the way north are being raped by Mexican men, or is it his assumption that our Southern Border, now controlled on the Mexican side by los coyotes, being crossed by people required by los coyotes to act as drug mules. And like it or not the second statement isn't racist it is a statement of fact at the time it was made.

    Donald is a gift to the media.

    I'm not a fan of the media in general but Donald is almost writing the news for them.
    Media people don't even need to think when it comes to Donald as he does all the work for them.

    Build a wall between mexico, deport 11 million people and put muslims on a register......who needs the media when you have gems like this?

    The really dumb people are those who think that their media tells the truth while the other media doesn't.

    The news (as opposed to 'the media') should stick to informing the public instead of trying to sway the election. They often inject their own bias into the news. They have admitted they are specifically doing that in regard to Trump. Now, with the competition with the Internet, they often don't even check sources.

    You'll have to point where I said Hillary DOESN'T do fearmongering as well.
