Anyone who doesn't think so is ignorant, in my opinion. Not worth arguing the point if you don't comprehend - it's like arguing with White Supremacists. Their minds can't ever be changed to the day they die.

To understand how anyone could accept that kind of language, TB, we have to look at his base. Trump was able to be elected for one reason, and one reason only. He saw that enough people in this country were closet bigots, who were secretly seething inside because people who look different and talk different were coming here to live.

He, being the brash, uncouth jerk that he is, stood up there on that stage and said the words they were afraid to say, but that they wanted to hear. Once he began to free them from the constraints of decency, they were free to openly show their bigotry and hatred........they ate it up.

That is it in a nutshell.

That is it in a nutshell.
You don't think it had anything to do with the thousands upon thousands of empty factories littering our landscape cause by one sided trade deals?
You don't think it had anything to do with stagnant and falling wages due to the lack of middle-class jobs?
You don't think it had anything to do with the loss of tradesman jobs like brick layers, carpenters, roofers, electricians, etc to illegal aliens?
You don't think it had anything to do with our schools full of kids who cannot speak a word of English now requiring a tax increase to pay for bilingual teachers?
You don't think it had anything to do with our crammed emergency rooms full of illegals getting their medical care causing local health care costs to skyrocket?
You don't think it has anything to do with the families who cannot speak a word of English at the grocery store pushing a cram full buggy of stuff paying for it with their SNAP card?
You don't think it has anything to do with all these illegals driving without a license or insurance, heaven help you if one hits you!

If you think the above represents hatred, bigotry and lacks the constraints of decency, so be it because in sections of our country, this it what we face everyday!

Lightbulb Republican's dropped the ball on not condemning Trump

tRump is their messiah, their fuhrer, their godlet.

No way will Pubs dare get out of step.

They take their lead from tRump on all matters.

Because that's what conservos are.

If trump had such a big heart; why didn't he pay his contractors, instead of finding fault, delays, not liking whatever, etc.?

He has a heart that has turned to stone and you are under the influence of Stockholm syndrome, if you believe otherwise.

Plus, there is the little item of interference from outside sources. What a load of cement.

1) Nothing to condemn. Trump being Trump using standard Trump language, tone and attitude. If the Republicans had to virtue signal on everything Trump does that makes the hypocrites on the Left do their pearl clutching, they'd never do anything else.

2) Nothing to condemn. Tweets weren't racist, and the Republicans "condemning" the tweets would be giving the MSM that "see, even the Republicans agree" fuel the are always desperate for.

3) Politically unsound to inject yourself into a fight the President has actually steered you out of. The Squad vs Pelosi Dems was losing some energy, so Trump did what Trump does and dumped some gasoline onto their fire. Since a "we tolerate each other" buffer already exists between Trump and the House/Senate GOP, him going solo on jumping into the Dems internecine thing lets the GOP sit back and just watch. They have nothing to do with it, so why jump in and try to have something to do with it?

4) Don't give fuel to the "if you don't condemn it loudly and quickly enough, you agree" narrative. Stay silent, let the charge be leveled by full potato idiots (like this thread for example), then drop a brutal counterpunch to the accuser.

5) MSM twists anything you say anyway, so say nothing, and when things get invented around the silence, retreat to Clintonia and demand "proof" that you ever said such a thing, then go for appeal to ridicule.

Nope, the GOP is right to say not a freaking thing. Let Trump, Pelosi and the Jihad Squad pummel each other while they silently watch on and eat popcorn. Absolutely their best move.

Yes, they are still Butt Hurt over Hillary LOSING. Like spoiled little children, they have to throw a daily temper tantrum.
LMAO!! The Russia issue. OMG, President Trump spoke with Putin!!!

"How soon we forget" . . . President Kennedy wanted the United States to join forces with Russia in the space program . . .but I guess since he was a democrat that was okay. Typical double standard liberal BS!

Yep. And it worked. Only four Republicans voted against their party's racism. Only four Republican reps who are not racists, and/or sycophants, and/or terrified of their mob boss president.

This, folks, is today's Republican party. The party of racists, bootlickers and cowards. Oh my!

They were called ugly names, and told "Go back to where you came from !"

For the President of this country to lower himself to that level shows what he is like inside and how he truly feels. I hope this is a wake up call to anyone whose ancestors heard those words, and they take offense at hearing it in 2019......long after that way of thinking should have gone away for good.
That is NOT racist. Go brush up on the definition of racist. Anyone who comes here then trashes the country like those two morons do they very well should GTFO and go back to where they came from.
