    A couple of things I wonder...

    How would the right have reacted if Obama had tried to do this?

    Does this merit another criminal investigation into Trump? If not, shouldn't it?
    Seems the NYT's played out of context fake news game ... again;

    I had a conversation about that with one poster where I said that Trump was calling Mexicans rapists... The poster went from dying he ever said that, until I showed proof, to start arguing with me how Trump is correct in saying it because there are Mexicans who are rapist... You folks change your tune every which way to fit the "Trump is the savior' narrative...

    More over, given the the 90 crap that you criticize Biden about, you shouldn't be talking about any derangement syndromes... Especially when you defend crap like Trump using a sharpie on a map to "prove" that Alabama is going to get hit by a Hurricane over the word of the National Weather Services...

    You go out of your way to pretend like there's nothing that Trump does or says that's worth criticizing. And yes, according to polls, you're the ones that were ready to wipe your butts with the constitution to have Trump do anything and everything unopposed.

    Sigh...this is precisely what I mean. Trump did not call all Mexicans rapists.

    Secondly, who is "you"? Are you referring to me? If so, show examples and I will be happy to respond to my specific comments.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    "Mexico is sending their worst people, they're sending criminals, they're sending rapists and some I assume are good people"... Did he not generalize the Mexicans that came to this country as rapist...


    Yeah, that's what I'm talking about... You fools go out of your was as far as changing the freaking meaning of words to justify any crap Trump did...
    Or how about talking out of his butt and clasiming 3 million illegals voted in 2016? And when the polls were showing that Hilary would beat him, chanting how the election is rigged... Four years later, he used the same trick and fools jumped on it, trying to skew any little thing that happened during the election as proof of widespread fraud.... Yeah, plenty of fools hang on his every word as if Messiah had spoken them.

    You don't need to go to far... You just claimed that Trump never referred to Mexicans as rapists...

    He did not generalize about Mexicans. Thank you. He said some immigrants are good and some belong to a criminal element so, no, he didn't generalize about Mexican immigrants either. Disagree all you want but don't repeat a lie.

    Who is "you"? If you have comments you want me to defend I'd be happy to. Just let me know.

    Trump did indeed imply that the illegal immigrants coming from Mexico were primarily criminals, rapists and “some” good people. That’s the definition of generalization.

    He made the claim because it plays well with his xenophobic base.

    It doesn't. Was it the best way to express yourself? No, but his comments were given the worst interpretation possible by pundits who obviously know better but their readers don't.

    No, he didn't. His words are clear. It's easy to distort what people are saying. I could easily choose some Hillary, Bernie and Obama comments and do the same thing. You'd rightfully object. Be smarter.
