Are you referring to the fact that a lot of hispanics do farm work? In that case, there is nobody in the US who doesn't benefit from having hispanics here. So, why on earth would y'all be against hispanics being in the US? Even if they are biased, they are still doing their jobs, feeding everyone. It seems funny for a presidential candidate to be saying inflammatory things about the people who are closest to the food chain he depends upon for his dinner.

Well, if they are willing to settle with David French, Walker would be a coup.

Actually race is not a major concern of mine. I'm far more concerned with economic issues. It's just a fact that race dominates US politics. I'm constantly shocked and surprised by fresh evidence of it. By the way, I currently live in Europe and talk to more Europeans about politics than Americans these days so don't try to school me about what people in Europe think. (As if someone from Portugal, Estonia, Slovenia and Scotland think just alike )

This is all about "dynasty" candidates, the Clintons and the Bushes, joined at the hip.

So, a couple of GOP expressed sour grapes, oh, boo hoo! The voters have spoken.

People should not forget that Clinton is the enemy that must be eliminated. Sent Granny home with her sex addicted husband on a tight leash!
No, this isn't about "dynasty" candidates, or replacing Trump with an "establishment guy', this is about getting rid of a demonstrably and objectively bad candidate who is completely unfit to hold the office he seeks.

No, this isn't about race, and Trump is neither a racist nor a bigot. Plenty of legit things to criticize Trump over, but he's not said anything remotely racist or bigoted. Those words have been so loosely thrown around the last few years that they are relatively meaningless now, which is a shame because it undermines legitimate claims of actual racism.

BIGOT:
"a person who is intolerant toward those holding different opinions"


So what has Trump said or done that is by definition, bigoted? It seems to me that the real bigots are the left-wing agitators using threats of violence to stifle his right to speak freely and his supporters right to peaceably assemble and listen to what he has to say.

Who said they were against Hispanics being in the U.S.? We're against illegal immigration, Hispanic or otherwise.
