Why? he could have used a dozen other words with 0 outrage manufactured or not.
yanno what, every time someone punches him down, for instance the media, he comes back stronger then ever....

Those who talk against him have not been following him for years, and have not seen him do interviews from the time he was young....you have no idea what kind of person he is...your simply looking for a good reason to vote otherwise, and that's ok, but judging someone without knowing, is wrong.

So he used Hombre, so what? Paul Newman made a movie called Hombre....so what?

Good Lord....

That wouldn't work. Depending on who uttered the word, its acceptability would change on a whim.


Silly liberals.

He loves Chicago and we may move there after our kids get out of school. I also like Chicago, it is a beautiful city.

Do you really think that all black people who live in the city of Chicago are living in hell, are uneducated, they live in fear, their kids go to "bad schools," and they are shot at when they walk down the street? I've walked down the street in my MIL's neighborhood many times over the past 15 years and she lives on the southside in a neighborhood that is known to have pretty high crime rates, yet I've never been shot or shot at and I wasn't afraid to walk around the neighborhood. She has some nice neighbors.

How about the "Whatya' gotta lose" line. As if he's Monte Hall and all "the blacks" are contestants.

Default Trump's "Bad Hombres" Insults/Amuses Hispanics... Again.

"Bad Hombres" lit up Twitter and was one of the top trending hashtags last night. Actually the response was not of outrage but of amusement...

Debate Was Short On Immigration, But #BadHombres Was Trending - NBC News

Even the Merriam-Webster dictionary site saw a lot of traffic.

Take pity on these twits - they're fresh from the cemeteries where they were registering voters to vote for the White Cuckquean.

BFD. Just another manufactured thing to be outraged at. The reason Webster's saw a lot of traffic is because the dummies who thought they were supposed to be offended didn't even know what it meant.

It sounded more like he was saying that people here are really really hungry.

From what I saw on Twitter it was a lot more amusement than outrage, poking fun at Trump's hamfisted attempt at speaking Spanish.
