to do with 50 or 60 million American citizens if they must go?
Revoke their right to vote?
You should keep in mind neither Democrats or Republicans control a majority of the votes. It's the middle, the "independents"
that actually decide elections.

BACK to the hospital? I read that somewhere earlier. I had to pull the plug on the internet and start doing stuff around the house because of that pic. Fat Nixon is grinning and thumbs-upping like the village idiot. Melanoma didn't have the common sense to say this is inappropriate. And WTF is with the hospital providing a backdrop for that photo op? Even David Brooks got it right when asked about that pic -- Trump is a sociopath, unloved and incapable of loving.

were Trump supporters. I hadn't read anything about the mother. So they're Mexican or Mexican-American and they support Trump even after his "rapists and murderers" comment? I'm truly starting to to lose hope. I keep hearing about suburban white women becoming increasingly disgusted by him; let's hope that disgust translates into votes for Democrats. I hate to say this but these angry young white males are emboldened and we're going to see more shootings.

But there are lots of Mexican-Americans who support Trump. Too many. It's all about abortion.
I live in an area that is 70% Hispanic. We have Tea Partiers who were MAGA hats etc. They don't care.

We recently had a guy run in a special election. Not only did he support the wall, he said that immigrants carried diseases. This guy was from a very impoverished part of town. Thank God, he didn't win, but it was a close call.

He ran around with a cowboy hat as a dog whistle thing....He wore that hat even in this candidate forum.

But if these folks claim to be 'pro-life' and their fellow humans are being gunned down due to their race, ethnicity, country of origin, etc., maybe it's time to do a little soul-searching. Kinda like the WWC brainwashed into believing Republicans care about them. Kentucky coal miners are being hit especially hard economically -- will they finally accept that slimeball Mitch McConnell doesn't give a flying fig about them and vote for McGrath? Hope springs eternal.

I read earlier that the (Mexican or Mexican-American) uncle of the orphaned baby is a Trump supporter. And he said that the (Mexican or Mexican-American) father who was gunned down was as well. If I'm wrong about that (and I hope I am), I'm more than happy for someone to set me straight. Why in God's name would they support that corrupt, racist bastard?!

Also prone to act aloof and condescending. Right-wing parrots that are byproducts of Faux News and Limbaugh for the most part. I feel most are hopelessly under complete RW mind control.

Many are dependent on the government despite their hatred of it.

Best way to describe the ones I know.....

of course, my reaction to EVERYONE who appears in a photo with Trump is "Shame on you!" but for some reason I find that photo particularly galling.
