We aren't going to see eye to eye on this. And while his retort was completely asinine , and should never have been said, they have been critiquing and knit picking his policy from the day they were sworn in. Remember Tlaib and her "let's impeach the motherf#$ker " rant ? Yeah, I don't see Bernie doing this.
As far as the squad, they are just the annoying clique that has banded together. I'm assuming he really wanted to just tell them to shut the f#$k up, but blurted out what he did instead. Either way, definitely a bad move on his part.
We agree way more than you think. I don't object to much that you said in this post...except Bernie has said some wild stuff over the years.
And you are right -- these women have chosen to walk the tight rope of controversy saying things to trigger reactions. They are junior politicians & are using their 2 minute of fame.
Are they dangerous to the USA - not a hope in hell.
Trump's handling of them and this situation I think is a play to the base.
That's a dangerous move. In a Presidential election you don't play to the base. They are on your side already.
In 2016 three states were the swing states and Trump won those states by a total of 80,000 votes. I think all three states were states that Clinton was criticized for NOT paying attention to. The big claim to Trump's fame -- he went there and campaigned. He needs to go after those folks. And those folks are the kind that might think he's a racist after saying something like that.
Those people are not as loyal.
So as I said -- you and I agree more than not.
If Trump could stay on policy, drop the personal attacks, I think he could win in 2020 easily.
I don't think the tactics used in the last campaign will be as effective. I think people are going to be looking for substantive arguments.
unless and until you can demonstrate that poster championing legal immigration, the only lie i'm seeing is in your post
You know what? You're not wrong. Kavalier has had the nerve to say out loud what the rest of the right are just whispering. So, as it applies to Kavalier, retracted.
Now for the rest of you to find the courage of your convictions.
how exactly is that "racist?" the problem with that word is that it has exactly zero impact anymore. you people have cried wolf for over a decade, and now whenever the word is used it's laughed at.
Your education is lacking if you can't see a clear racist remark -
Unfortunately, as bad as Trump has been as an individual, there's no clear-cut replacement waiting to lead the country.
Until then, it appears that the country has to live with its mistake in electing him.
It was clear that he was a racist before being elected, so you really have to blame the American voter for electing him. The everyday American who voted for him or stayed home and didn't vote is who I'm mostly disappointed/saddened about. What has happened to this once great country?

In fairness, most American voters didn't actually throw their ballot for him.

What's the problem? A person can't point out that there is more harm than good done with admitting millions of people a year?

But Trump's theory is not to stop all immigration -- it is to control what kind - -he likes those European countries thank you but none of those other ones.

With all due respect, we don't need to take in people from sh*******. How in heaven's name is that good for the average American? Well, it's not.
(More to your point: I do not believe Trump ever said he only wants immigrants from white countries.)
As far as I can tell, 3 separate posts - that were pretty different - have all been tossed into one TRUMP IS RACIST thread.
Totally makes all the debates that were going on between posters incoherant.
I was just thinking the same exact thing. What a mess.
Thinking about this whole situation this morning while drinking my coffee, I can't help but to think he is putting some kind of strategy in here. You know like you do in the game of chess. They are merely pawns. If he is, they are playing right into his strategy.
