The anger toward Trump in the Hispanic community runs deep, real deep. As McCain said, it is more than he has seen in his entire political career. It could cost McCain his seat. Trump can forget about New Mexico. Arizona too could go for Clinton. This is serious stuff.

Because that's how PC we've become. There would be racism claims by some people.

Why Mexican flags? Isn't this taking place in the United States of America?

McCain is going to lose his seat to another Republican because of what McCain is doing wrong, not Trump.


McCain came out in support of Trump two weeks ago because he thinks it will help his numbers.

McCain "supported" Trump because he has a primary to win. His support will quickly be forgotten once he wins that (and he likely will). Dems intend to brand him with Trump. He is in serious trouble IF the Hispanic vote can be organized. So far, they seem more interested in demonstrating than registering to vote.

There is no reason for Hispanics in Arizona to not like Trump unless they are illegal.


McCain promised to do something about illegal immigration in the Senate but he didn't.


The people are with Trump this election and that is why McCain's seat is vulnerable for the first time. He tried to spin it, however, he quickly backtracked hoping to get Trump's 'crazy' supporters who are about to vote him out in favor of his challenger who is tied with McCain.

Are they confused? Don't know where they are? Smoked too much ganja?

I know they want attention, but isn't this backfiring on them? The media tries to make them seem reasonable, but a true movement needs to win the hearts and minds of the people. It wasn't the riots in the '60s that won people over, it was the peaceful protestors getting beaten by the police or local citizens. Peaceful protests gain far more sympathy.

I believe the BLM groups have a good cause, but they always highlight the least sympathetic cases and you rarely see them talking about people who were truly examples of blatant brutality. We all know Michael Brown by name, but does anyone know the name of the guy gunned down while running away from the cop in South Carolina, or the guy who was shot in his car by the cop in Ohio? Those two cases and the Eric Garner killing just make me so mad, and yet we never hear about them. Maybe it's because the injustice was so clear that the cops in question were actually convicted. But Darin Wilson was clearly using self defense.
