He said SOME were of questionable character. Not all.He was speaking the inconvenient truth.
Some people of EVERY group are of questionable character. The fact Trump singles out Mexican Hispanics is telling. True, he is referring to illegal immigrants but, especially if an individual happens to be Mexican American or Hispanic in general, I can understand why s/he might take offense at the remark.
 
I’m still not clear on the rationale for claiming that public servants not supporting a candidate who is wildly unpopular amounts to subverting the will of the people.
 
Abortion will not be ended at the federal level. There are estimates that abortion would be lowered by a mere 6 % if Roe v. Wade were overturned, because of all the state laws that would remain in place.

If one is pro-life, trying to influence the legal system is an utterly inefficient, dead-end way of improving things. We have to work on the root causes of abortion.
A 6% reduction in the abortion rate is a LOT of people that would be alive as a result of overturning that decision.
 
And none of these lifetime Republican appointees, sorry, “servants”, ever said a bad word when terrible establishment candidates like McCain or Romney were put before us, and they were truly terrible candidates, but they would keep the status quo. They towed the line and were just as happy to have Obama president as either McCain or Romney. However now that an outsider like Trump is the candidate, they are full of themselves and talking trash.

The system is broken. The establishment is in full defense against Trump now. The will of the people is denied yet again, and the establishment roles on. The American people will rue the day when Clinton becomes president…
This of course has nothing to do with Trump being against the establishment, but with the very nature of Trump’s reckless and dangerous comments and behavior.

This is true,I suppose he could have included other groups entering via Mexico due to our porous borders as well.
 
If he incited violence that would be reprehensible but where one person sees incitement to violence, another does not. Seeing some kind of incitement for violence into Donald Trump’s comments is a matter of interpretation into his comments.

Paul Ryan, who has his fair share of criticism for past remarks from Donald Trump said according to this, “It sounds like it was a joke gone bad. I hope he’ll clear it up.”

Trump himself has has clarified what he meant:

Did the New York Daily News say anything when Joe Biden said in 2008 regarding Barack Obama, “If he tries to fool with my Beretta, he’s got a problem,”

Did the New York Daily News say anything when Barack Obama in 2008 said, “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,”

Jake Tapper said earlier this what that that was a a quote from a film, and it means being unprepared… But how are many people supposed to have known that?

If Trump incited violence that would be totally wrong, but it’s not definitive that he did.

It’s not a nice thing to say, but some ethnic/cultural groups have much much higher incidences of violence than others. And have zero interest is reducing it.

[And some ethnic/cultural groups have much much lower incidences of violence.]

[in addition, that judge who was criticized had a long long history of going after Trump personally AND was associated with LaRaza … check it out.]
 
The New York Daily News has over the years become one of the most left wing newspapers in the country.

Very much anti-Trump.
 
The left*** desperately*** wants certain things and Trump has publicly and repeatedly spoken against them:

Back to the basics:
  1. Supreme Court Justices … left wing appointees would permanently tilt the United States to the left.
  2. Southern Border is porous … right now there is no one stopping the flood of undocumented people AND HEROIN entering the United States.
  3. The U. S. tax structure is the worst in the developed world.
  4. Veterans are getting terrible treatment from the Veterans Administration.
  5. U.S. Foreign Policy is a disaster. [Most recent example: $400 MILLION in CASH flown to Iran under conditions of secrecy. If it was legitimate, they would do an electronic transfer. And that’s just the latest.]
  6. Radical Islamic Terrorism is uncontested.
  7. Second Amendment. Gun control only controls law abiding citizens. Inner city crime and gang crime and black-on-black crime is epidemic.
  8. The economy. Record numbers of people on food stamps. People forced into part-time work owing to restrictions by government controlled medical legislation. Make participation in government controlled medical to be optional: if you can find a better and/or cheaper plan then take it.
  9. Restrictions on religion. [Example: Why should the Little Sisters of the Poor be forced to purchase contraception?] [Example: Why should someone who posted dissection of aborted babies be prosecuted?]
  10. Education: The United States ranks around 27th in math. WHY???
  11. U.S. Military is not being kept up to date. Navy is behind in technology and numbers and readiness. Aircraft are kept going using parts from the boneyard instead of buying new stuff. Troops are not training enough. Focus on social changes.

 
**10) Education: The United States ranks around 27th in math. WHY???

Common core, which dumbs down math…it’s not the way I learned. And you still get clerks who can’t do math at retail establishments (there will always be some who get confused). Also not enough time spent on math (which you do need after schooling…to balance a check book, do your taxes, etc).
 
The contortions that people go through to justify Trump’s statements that clearly show he is not fit to hold the most powerful position in the world amaze me.

Neither candidate is fit to hold the Presidency, and no Christian should attempt to say they are.
 
As he, himself, said he could shoot someone on 5th avenue and people would still vote for him. He’s a national embarrassment. (and international)
Nah. He only embarrasses certain “types” of people. The same who might be embarrassed to be seen with someone who isn’t quite up to their standards. The same who could use a little embarrassment from time to time to remind them that they are human after all. You know, the ones who think more highly of the opinions of others and of virtue signaling than they do of the truth. The ones who have been bought and paid for by those dictating the opinions about what should and should not be considered “embarrassing.”

It is pretty clear that those who point to things like “national embarrassment” have no clue regarding what we ought to be embarrassed about since they remain unperturbed by all the shenanigans perpetrated by the Clintons and will vote for her to be their leader.
 
I saw the clip of what Donald Trump said and he should have been more careful with his words because what he said was easy to see in different ways. In light of comments by Dr Ben Carson, I agee with what Ainsley Harris said on Fox News, which was basically if you don’t understand what somebody meant, then you ask them to explain what they meant, and Trump has done that.

Each person can interpret his comments but only he knows really what he meant for sure, and he’s explained.

Mark Halperin says in this clip, “if you want to have the moral authority to condemn what Trump said, I don’t think you can look what Joe Biden said and just dismiss it.”

Should Joe Biden Have Taken Heat for His 2008 Gun Joke?

Some comments by Hillary Clinton, which she said she “regret”, are also being circulated:

“My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right?” she said. “We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California.”

Just because I think Trump is a national embarrassment does not mean that I don’t think Hillary is one as well. Whatever happens to the republicans this election, the blame will fall squarely on themselves. They did this to themselves.

The Hillary quote seems like she was concerned about her husband being assassinated, like Bobby Kennedy.

The Joe Biden quote the context is that he was describing Obama (his running mate) as not being anti - gun. So it was a bad joke.
“If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” “Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.”
Right before this he states that she wants to abolish the second amendment.

The supreme court can’t do that.
