Several news stations tried very hard to send the message that by Trump using the word Hombre, several Mexicans were horrified by his derogatory use of the word and said, that many Mexicans were tweeting and horrified by the expression.

How deliberate, and how stupid do they think America is?

Hombre means MAN!!! Nothing More, nothing less!!!!

Matter of fact, there was a movie made Entitled Hombre, with Paul Newman?????

It is so obvious, what the media is trying to pull.....

The media, Clinton and her supporters are all making fools of themselves at this point. I guess if you can't win fairly.............

"It" (not to be offensive to Hillary by calling her "she") is the poorest excuse for a human being on the planet at this point.

I think most have seen and become concerned about the desperation from the Democratic party. Who wouldn't be desperate with all the dirty laundry they have?

He used it as a derogatory term, when you say hombre you don't mean anything but the Hispanics and Latinos.

well, they're going to win, if they do what they did the last election, believe me.

There is voter fraud and it's big. Take a look at how many liberals are in power over states and communities.

and why in the world the last two elections was Florida unable to come up with an accurate total?

I just had to laugh when looking at the media try to spin this into some horrible word/statement by Trump. When he mentioned it, he was speaking of drug cartels who bring drugs across our border and illegal immigrants from south of the border who come to this country ILLEGALLY and commit heinous crimes. Instead of saying "men" he used the latin translation of "hombre" which is man in spanish. Why such hysteria?

Using the term hombre was a poor choice for the tone of the discussion.

I still shake my head when he refers to Black Americans as "The Blacks".

Hombre means man in Spanish so to me when he was referring to the drug lords and the like from Mexico it did not come off as derogatory at all as much as fact. Of course I don't get PC and in a tiff over such words, that's something others can harp on. If it wanted to be newsworthy then it should have been him saying the derogatory "S" word or something similar.

he's Archie Bunker personified.....word salad, circular reasoning, appeal to popularity/Argumentum ad populum and other obvious logical fallacies......all eaten up by the poorly educated.

I actually missed his comment last night, but heard CBS blathering on and on about it. And they wonder why we and Trump know, without question, that the idiotic media is trying it's best to stack the deck against Trump.


This, my friends, is the media corruption of which we speak.
