    The US will become ‘minority white’ in 2045, Census projects?!! There is nothing Trump can do about it either?!! That's just 26 years or less to from now!

    (CNN)"It's the economy, stupid." That famous phrase, coined by James Carville, one of Bill Clinton's strategists, was Clinton's guiding principle in his 1992 campaign to unseat President George H.W. Bush. This slogan reminded Clinton that the best way to win that election was to talk about the economy, since that issue moved voters. And it worked.

    Flash forward to the 2018 midterm election and Donald Trump's guiding principle can be best summed up as, "It's the racism, stupid." Trump is playing on his supporters' worst fears of brown immigrants to scare them to the polls. And to be clear, talking about immigration policy isn't inherently racist, but fabricating lies to gin up fears of Latino immigrants is -- and that's exactly what Trump is doing.

    I don't know, I kind of think that opinion piece has it backwards. I think the Democrats have come up with this "brown people" nonsense to distract from "it's the economy stupid" since Trump's economy is kicking ass.

    There is no possible way to paint Trump's economy in a bad light, so they've doubled down on "racism!!!"

    Well actually what he is yelling about is the impoverishment of the American worker by flooding the country with foreign workers. When leftist and the US chamber of commerce tells you that they're only doing jobs that Americans won't do what they means is jobs Americans won't do for 3 bucks an hour.

    when Obama ended Bush's Great Recession and created a booming economy all you ever heard from right wingers was about how he supposedly created racial division ~ in fact we still get posts like that on occasion from forum right wingers -- click search to see ...

    great toon - in fact we've had several threads by forum right wingers who have expressed their own insecurities about this --- too bad they are prejudiced - and this while claiming to be good Christians!

    Maybe if you all quit killing the babies in the womb we wouldn't have a birth rate problem.

    Larger font makes it more true.

    That means it would take 400 point type to make CNN a legitimate source of any factual opinion or reporting.

    I haven't heard Trump once say he didn't like Brown people. I have heard him say that there are bad people coming up through our Southern border and that is very true. Now he didn't say they were all bad, never hinted they were all bad. He did say a country has to have control of their borders, or they aren't a country. The European Union has an open border policy and have you seen what happened with that? Do you know one of the main reason's Britain voted to get out of the union is what is happening to their country. Europe is a total wreck that will never be the same again and it seems like the Liberals want to do the same thing to our country with your open borders. It's not the color of one's skin, it's the idea we are being invaded through our Southern border and most of the people living South of that border just happens to have Brown skin. But we know the Left always uses race to try and win people over.

    I'm sure you have, I know some Democrats that don't like Blacks, Hispanics and gays. But the color of one's skin is not the main reason most of us is against millions of people invading our country. We want to control the number of people coming in. We don't want millions coming in taking our jobs holding down our wages, bringing drugs into our country or having the Democrats using them to take back power and keep it for decades. It's no secret on why the Democrats want them in here, no matter what you say. Your not the goody two shoes you want to pretend to be.

    So, you are not afraid of the "White genocide" I've been hearing about. Good to know that skin color means nothing to you.

    The racial division was deep in this country long before Obama came along. It seems our current POTUS is doing all he can do to take race relations back to pre-Civil Rights days.

    I'm sorry, that Great Recession wasn't all Bush's fault. The main cause was because of the housing fiasco, which Democrats were up to their neck helping to bring that about. What booming economy? Over 90% of all jobs created under Obama's policies were service type and part time jobs. Many that never paid a living wage, much less support a family. No, racism wasn't quite as bad as it is now and started when Obama started prejudging White/police on Black crime/deaths. That prejudging, especially police killings of Blacks, all but started Black Lives Matter and the killings of police officers.

    Liberals are so obsessed with their mindless do-gooding they can't comprehend that their simplistic reasoning will undoubtedly result in migrants ending up being so ruthlessly exploited that their lives will be worse than in their countries of origin was. In other words, liberals are advocating a return to slavery? It's so perverse that it must be genetic rather than cerebral.

    'There are none who do so much harm as those obsessed with doing good.'

    Obama set race relations back 50 years. He encouraged racial division and reveled in identity politics. You don't even have to be a "right winger" to recognize that. I was an Obama voter who became a harsh critic in part because of his divisiveness. I don't see what that has to do with this thread though? Unless you are highlighting how the left likes to play the race card when the chips are down, in which case I would agree with you.

    Oh please.

    It appears the boiler rooms funded by the New Democratic Party are in full bloom.

    What a bunch of racist agitators.

    I wonder if they understand all they are doing is confirming the totalitarian creds of the New Democratic Party, which most legitimate groups would try to run from.

    Good luck!!
