cements the perception that the GOP is the old white guy party.

They've had that perception long before Trump arrived on the scene.

Looks like Reince Priebus and his “RINO’s” are squealing like little piggies now that Trump has made them take a stand illegal immigration.

The question that needs to be asked is “Can you win with that?”

The Dems have a similar problem. They are trying to be the “inclusive” party, but the various groups HATE each other.

All joking aside, I expect a real political shift or split soon. The current parties don’t work. Of course, that assumes we still have functioning elections, which is a pretty large assumption.

Trump is doing major damage to the GOP brand.

It's nothing compared to what they've already done to themselves long before Trump emerged.

Hmmm....
The “old white guy” demographic in the US is somewhat NORTH of 50% of the electorate...

Just sayin’....

But not all vote GOP.

North of 80% of the other demographics vote solid Dem. For now, till they start splintering off.

“While Trump unfairly maligned all Mexican illegal aliens”

That is not true.

I'm somehow reminded of the adage that says, "90% of lawyers give the rest of them a bad name."

Oh please! The GOP brand has been destroyed by the likes of McCain, McConnell, Boehner and Romney. If anything, a Trump is putting some credibility back in to the brand. They’re lucky to have him.

Noted and previously understood.

It just seems to me that the Pubbies are more concerned about the 20% minority vote (includes all “government protected” races and classes) and has just ignored the history of the voters of the Several and Independent States.

Not that I would say we need to pander to “just YT” but, when votes are the “coin of the realm”, how does one ignore an 80% majority...in a supposed “democracy”...of the people, by the people, for the people?

You are kidding right? The GOP brand is so damaged by the GOPe leadership its almost dead. The chances of the GOP winning the presidency in 2016 is so slim as to be almost zero. The GOP Congress is betraying the Republican base on a daily basis with every vote they take.

You think Donald Trump is hurting the GOP? Funny.

This report tries to discredit Trump, and is publish all over the world in Spanish.


http://immigrationpolicy.org/special-reports/criminalization-immigration-united-states
 
http://immigrationimpact.com/
 
They do not have this report in Spanish yet, but it's all over Latin America papers in Spanish
La Prensa is from Honduras.
 
http://www.laprensa.hn/mundo/857289-410/estudio-desmonta-con-cifras-las-tesis-racistas-de-donald-trump
 
The target is Trump, they are trying to show he is a liar.
 
"Estudio desmonta con cifras las tesis racistas de Donald Trump"
 
Study dismantled the racists figures of Donald Trump
 
 
Also Univision at http://noticias.univision.com/article/2394810/2015-07-08/estados-unidos/noticias/inmigrantes-comenten-menos-crimenes-que-los-nacidos-en-eeuu

 Unision said that "  Immigrants commit fewer crimes than native-born,"  but they do not 
 show the difference between legal and illegal immigrants, here is the intention  against what Trump said.
 
I believe this is some kind of front for progressives or socialists.
 
See page 17 on this Federal  report http://gb1.ojp.usdoj.gov/search?q=cache%3AlvDnMgzHzMYJ%3Awww.bjs.gov%2Fcontent%2Fpub%2Fpdf%2Ffjs1112.pdf++illegal+aliens&site=BJS&client=bjsnew_frontend&proxystylesheet=bjsnew_frontend&output=xml_no_dtd&ie=UTF-8&access=p&oe=UTF-8

 Also today another front  talking about all immigrants from Mexico  when Trump spoke about illegals.  

  DC  WASHINGTON, July 9, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Greater Washington Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (GWHCC) would like to show its support and validate the sentiments of the Hispanic community in light of Mr. Donald Trump's, Chairman and President of The Trump Organization and founder of Trump Entertainment Resorts, recent comments about Mexican immigrants. He expressed that they bring problems like drugs and violent crime into the United States and that they are not "sending their best people." -

I haven't been a Trump fan in the past, but I love everything he's done in this campaign.

I'm not sure we can trust him, somehow he just isn't a trustworthy conservative. He sure has woken up a lot of people on the right, and is driving the narrative in a great direction.
