Brooks: GOP Needs To Ignore Trump's "Nativism," Return To Where W, McCain, Dole Were On Immigration
RealClearPolitics Video ^ | July 11, 2015

On Friday's edition of PBS NewsHour, The New York Times' conservative columnist, said Republicans should publicly object to GOP candidate for president Donald Trump's "xenophobia" and "nativism."

"What Trump said is the dictionary definition of xenophobia, nativism," Brooks said.

Brooks admonished Trump, responding with an anecdotal observation of the PBS NewsHour parking lot.

"He had a factually inaccurate statement that generalized about a whole group of people, inaccurately, in a slurring manner," Brooks said. "We have got a parking lot right out here at the NewsHour where we brought a bunch of immigrants. And when you pull up, they’re not trying to rape you. They’re not trying to sell drugs. They’re trying to paint your backyard — or back porch."(continued)

JUDY WOODRUFF: So you’re saying that maybe he’s doing a favor to some of these other Republicans?

DAVID BROOKS: Well, it’s hard to give him credit for doing a favor, but the people who did the favor were Bush and Rubio and the party members who did the right thing.

Two things! Question whether Brooks is a journalist. Question whether Brooks is a conservative.

“What matters is that whether the Republican Party rediscovers where George W. Bush was on immigration, where John McCain was on immigration, where a lot of — where Bob Dole — where a lot of previous nominees have been.”

Yes, John McCain and Bob Dole types are what Republicans should be searching for, that is for sure. Those are the types who wins elections. Thank you David Brooks.

Hey Brooks come live in our house for a month with a whole house of illegals next door coming and going in the night so you can’t see them. I couldn’t pick any of them out of line up. Kiss my grits.

Brooks.

The jig is up. up.

When McCain called you, then showed up at your house and slapped your face, you should have said “no”. Instead your knees buckled and you fell... like so many times before.

Brooks is a half wit. Trump certainly has the uniparty in a tizzy.

Commie lib Brooks may as well just come out and say that the right thing is handing the election over to the democrats and anything the RINO GOPe can do to make that possible is the right thing. So the GOPe democrats with (R) next to their names should just keep on ignoring their constituents.
