Wait a minute. I thought he was pulling 30 to 40 percent of the black vote.

Bunk.

Trump will win more of the black vote, than any other Republican.

He is very strong, in the black community. Very strong.

vision of the privileges of a white ethnic bloc.

The notion underlying this nonsense, now but barely suppressed, is that white people are evil. So what should be done with this evil, "ethnic bloc?" Concentration camps? Extermination?

As in the South Park episode with PC Principal would say: better check your privilege

“increasingly a vision of the privileges of a white ethnic bloc.”...

White ethnic translated:

“Those dumb ####ing WOPs, Polaks, Micks, Krauts and Limeys all need to be in concentration camps!!”

I have asked many liberals who live in lily-white suburbs why they don’t reside in inner cities to celebrate diversity. You know the type: they put a bumper sticker on a $30,000 car. The answer is almost universal “I worked hard for my money.” Liberal logic.

I can’t believe we both used “concentration camps” just two threads apart :)

Maybe there’s a reason.

That neo-con Bret Stephens says he is "doubtful the GOP can reclaim the principle of opportunity and the "right to rise" following a Trump loss.

Poor widdle Bret, he just can't hide the fact that he is pinin' for the Fjords, or at least the BUSH-SCUM that has infested the Republican Party for so long, that 'Right to Rise' horsesh*t was the name of Jebuardo's PAC.

Bret Stephens still wants to lick Jebuardo's ass, even if there's nothing in it for him.

I think the truth is that Trump IS pulling a lot of minority vote, but he is ESPECIALLY attractive to whites that feel they were hugely disenfranchised during the Obama years.

Actually, $30,000 is the average price paid for a new car today. I’m thinking $60,000 car. :)

It is not a campaign of white privilege, but as of today ot becomes a campaign of privilege.

Trump’s economic plan will make all childcare expenses tax deductible!

Ivanka’s revenge? The working class singles and childless now all subsidizing upper-middle and upper class nannies!

Despicable.

Imagine that liberal $60,000 car owner driving his or her vehicle through a democrat-controlled inner city at midnight on a Saturday. The commonality of their vote should be enough to engage in dialogue. :-)

No one except far left wingers use that phrase. It doesn’t even make sense. It’s RINOs like him who are whining that they’re not getting their candidate for once. They’re the ones who think it’s their privilege.

Because only white people worry about jobs and borders? Is that what Stephens is saying?

Isn’t that a bit, I don’t know, what is the word, racist?
