And I say that wholeheartedly, as someone who happens to be very skeptical of the Left--that's how screwed you all are--by The Donald. He brings out the worst in everybody. At least Hillary's always been financially solvent.

I lived in Spain a few months and Trump was on the Euro news daily...now I'm in Kuwait and everyone from all countries are talking about Trump....so far, I haven't spoken to anyone outside the USA that doesn't have a strong opinion about him.

A recap of the mayhem in San Jose yesterday.

Anti-Trump protesters waving Mexican flags, jumping on top of cars and chanting: "Make California Mexico again," burned American flags and pro-Trump signs and hats, assaulted supporters, harassed the elderly and young women and destroyed private property.

Protesters attack Trump supporters outside rally - Washington Post

As if to make matters worse, San Jose Major Sam Liccardo, a Clinton supporter, actually blamed Trump for the post-rally violence, provoking a storm of criticism from the public. Because all of this is sure to endear the anti-Trump crowd to the general public, right?

These individuals engaging in violence are not protesters they're likely gang members and thugs there were protesters that were peaceful. I watched some of it live and some of these thugs were observed using gang signs to communicate by a reporter.

Trumps anti-Mexican(and anti Mexican-American) rhetoric which he has been ratcheting up exponentially however does play a significant role in stirring up the ethnic divisiveness and hatred. I lay the blame squarely at his feet.

And lets not pretend Donald trump supporters are innocent doves. Trump and his rhetoric is responsible for much of this.

The people you should be blaming are the corporate media.

They're the ones who twisted Trump's blunt rhetoric on the issues of border control, national sovereignty and migrant lawlessness (which are pretty much taken for granted everywhere else in the developed world) into an issue of culture and skin color.

This is a very conspicuous example of social engineering by establishment figureheads - whipping up people who they consider to be a manipulable proletariat of left-leaning progressives, migrant groups and paid shills into a quasi-hallucinatory, racialistic frenzy.

It's sad that you have no idea what you are talking about. Since even before he got in the race he's been talking about US crumbling infrastructure. He even included it in his book. And he talks about transportation, healthcare and education, too.

I don't think so I've been watching him daily for several months he have been utilizing this divide and conquer tactic along ethnic lines for quite some time. There is a clear pattern although this latest attempt at deflecting away from his alleged fraudulent practices related to Trump University and the latest media firestorm associated with it has hit a new low even for the morally corrupt Trump. He has zeroed in on the judge's Mexican-American ethnicity and blatantly stated what I posted in post #995. I'm convinced it is merely a tactic to generate a story so that the focus isn't on his business practices as it related to the TU case which I consider shameful he is likely and caste him as a lowlife scumbag.

You've been watching him daily via the lens of the corporate media, which is the problem.

Unless you can foster a basic analytical framework that allows you to understand how this colors your perceptions (there are ways to tell this from your posts), every sentiment you express on the topic is subliminally subject to that social engineering.
