Bill O’Reilly warns GOP that Donald Trump will turn them into the party of “racist brutalizers”
Salon ^ | August 21, 2015 | Scott Eric Kaufman, assistant editor

Given the "failures" of the Obama election, Republicans can only lose in 2016 if "they out-extreme the far-left"

On “The O’Reilly Factor” Thursday night, host and new favorite Coulter punching bag Bill O’Reilly expounded on the difference between “Trumpians” and Democrats, and warned Republicans that the real estate mogul’s brand of undisciplined extremism could hurt the party whose nomination he currently seeks.

After rattling off the predictable litany of Republican complaints about Obama’s economic and foreign policies — the suggestion being that Democratic party is weak on both fronts because of the president’s reckless, ignorant actions — O’Reilly claimed that “it should be easy for the Republicans to win the presidency in 2016, but that’s not how it’s shaking out.”

“Donald Trump,” he said, “has bludgeoned the GOP establishment by seizing on a number of emotional issues that conservatives are furious about. His brand of straight talk blows traditional politicians away, making them seem small and dull.” While that might sound like the sort of thing O’Reilly would gladly cheerlead, he argued that it “may be good news for the Democrats.”

The reason? Because “there’s an over-the-top element to Trump’s rhetoric and support.” O’Reilly singled out Trump’s claim that that the 14th Amendment doesn’t apply to the children of illegal immigrants as being particularly without merit — a position which put him at odds with guests and panelists on all of Fox News’ other editorial programs.

The amendment clearly states, O’Reilly said, that “[a]ll persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.” Anyone who tries “to parse the amendment will fail, and it’s a waste of time.”

“It also,” he added, “gives the left ammunition,” noting that an editorial in the New York Times “demonizes the Republican party for Trump’s immigration plan.” That, O’Reilly said, will allow the Democrats to “turn defeat into victory by portraying Trump and the entire Republican party as racist brutalizers.”

The GOP, he concluded, will lose the very winnable 2016 election “if they out-extreme their far-left competition.”

I disagree with o’reilly. without a black guy to vote for half the blacks will vote for trump. they are not so stupid or racist that they don’t get the seriousness illegal emigration problem.

if the choice is hillary or bernie sanders or donald trump the percentage of blacks voting republican will be even higher.

what’s more there are plenty of hispanics who have seen their neighborhoods turned to trash by illegals. that gets old after awhile.

Nearly 32 percent of Republicans surveyed online said they backed Trump, up from 24 percent a week earlier, the opinion poll found.

I have noticed that O’Reilly’s show is much better when he’s not there. Lately he’s been hung up on the 14th Amendment, pretending he understands it.

Then Trump should go third party and everyone will go with him. The Party is so destroyed, I can’t think of anything else he can do but make it better.

Bill Ego riely, who sucked up to Obama and gave him a softball interview, tells the voters who they should vote for. When he says “republican party” he’s talking about the voters. Everyone KNOWS the gopE leadership hates Trump and loves Hillary.

The man “bloviates” too much.

And he is rude beyond description.

However, he does have nice ties!
