We'll find out just HOW unkindly they took it come election day, but indications right now are that they will turn out against the GOP in droves.
So, if that turns out to be the case - and it looks to be that way at the moment - then Trump either made a racist comment, or he was too stupid to realize just how badly that statement would come off and too rude/stubborn to admit he shouldn't have phrased the statement in that way and that he didn't meant to infer that all - or even most - illegal immigrants are rapists.

You're exactly right, and that's why Democrats are perpetrating this LIE. Thanks for proving my point.

Much different? It is exactly the same.
Let's see:
Some are rapists, some, I assume are good people.

Any rational mind can understand that the snippet means some entering the country illegally are criminals.

If someone wants to be offended by that, fine, but the spin that has happened (Trump's said all Mexicans are rapists) , is wrong.

I think the man is a joke, and I realize he is terrible at vocalizing his points, but to simply create an interpretation , biased by emotion and sell that as "true" propaganda, is wrong.

You bring up a good point. Trump was talking about all illegal immigrants from Mexico, not all immigrants from Mexico nor all Mexicans.

Some media folk seem to be trying to take that out of context.

The very fact that he says "they're not sending their best"... proves my point in and of itself. If Trump really was implying that all or most Mexicans are rapists and murderers, there would be no "best"....
But you keep on allowing yourself to be manipulated and taken in by the propaganda and being used like the good little pawn that you are.
You are 100% for Orange Man you would support him no matter what he did. I get that, and there is no point in trying to discuss any issue regarding Trump with you, but in regards to what you just said- you are wrong again. Of course he was talking about Mexicans entering the Country illegally who the hell said otherwise? The point is that if you would quit being a Trump cheerleader for a few minutes you would find that first generation immigrants commit far fewer crimes than native born citizens. This isn't secret information, if Trump was running a real campaign he would have had a staffer check the stats before he started flapping his lips

Good luck with that.

Its not a lie, its the truth, Trump is a bigot. Hispanics will say " He doesnt respect a American Judge and he calls a MS Universe MS Housekeeping because he does not value us "
