Biden On Trump Taco Bowl Tweet: 'He's A Smarter Guy Than This'
Talking Points Memo ^ | May 7, 2016 | Caitlin MacNeal

Posted on 05/07/2016 3:10:20 PM PDT by ConservativeMind

Vice President Joe Biden on Friday indicated that he was disappointed in Donald Trump's taco bowl tweet on Cinco de Mayo, and said that he hopes the presumptive Republican nominee begins to talk more seriously about the issues.

“He's a smarter guy than this," Biden told Fox 5 DC. "I hope he reaches the point where he figures out that it’s not a game show and that he begins to talk in earnest about where he would take the country."

"Because that is the kind of debate the public deserves. I know Hillary [Clinton] or Bernie [Sanders], if he is the nominee, will do that," he continued. "But the American public deserves genuine a debate at this moment in our history on the direction of the country — whether we continue the direction we are on and moving forward or are we making a significant change. I’m not sure he knows."

This is great. Not only has Trump got Hillary making ads for him, Joe Biden is helping Trump by bringing even more attention to his tweet.

This is classic Trump. He’s shown smiling, happy and says “I love Hispanics!”

His enemies, completely tone deaf and clueless, brand themselves as insufferable race pimps when they try to beat him up over a taco salad, a staple at many American tables.

Watching Trump best career politicians with little to no effort is one of the most entertaining and satisfying thing about this election season. I can’t wait to see how he delivers the next needle.

A person could do pretty well doing the exact opposite of creepy Uncle Joe Biden’s advice.

Perhaps Trump should go to a Dunkin Donuts and see if they have a slight Indian accent. Or swim naked in front of female Sec Serv agents. Or start kissing and rubbing up against unsuspecting women. Or working on some plagiarism.

...why didn’t you at least pick an intelligent conservative who could articulate our views instead of this offensive fool?

That's really a question for millions of Republican voters, most of whom are conservatives. The answer is simple, we need a candidate who can win, and none of the other conservative candidates could fight and win against the politically correct, leftist supporting media and whoever ends up being the Democratic party candidate.

Trump has already shown that he isn't going to get trapped by the same mindset and behavior that cost McCain and Romney the elections in 2008 and 2012. Romney was too timid to even speak up to correct Candy Crowley. Trump simply trashed the first news reporter to attempt the same kind of attack on him.

Of course he seems offensive, you have been programmed to believe that speaking your mind or refuting leftist dogma is "hate speech", "offensive", "unacceptable", "not who we are" and so forth. Its time to reverse that programming and reclaim political dialog. Trump is a good start.

I believe Trump is quite a bit more intelligent than you understand.

http://blog.dilbert.com/post/139541975641/the-trump-master-persuader-index-and-reading-list

The GOP has no objective evidence of conservative success in recent memory. The Party voted for Obama’s budget when Ryan came in as Speaker. Can you homestly say the Republican party “opposes” the Democrats? Really?

I believe you are suffering from “battered conservatibe syndrome:”
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2016/01/06/battered-conservative-syndrome-gope-apology-and-reconciliation-phase-begins/comment-page-1/

The current GOPe is not on your side and WILL NOT HELP YOU.

Even Cruz, who my wife and I gave hundreds of dollars to (first time ever to a candidate), would have been an ineffectual man in office. From an earlier post this morning:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3428527/posts?page=12#12

“Well, with Rush continuing in his second and third hours yesterday to say that conservatives need to look into why conservatism continues to fail (when selecting Trump), I can tell a ton of otherwise intelligent people are clueless.

There are no so-called “Conservatives” that can evade both liberal and GOPe criticism and their reticence to make positive change. Cruz was rendered ball-less with the ignoring of his fellow senators to anything he spoke. Cruz did nothing in the Senate and didn’t even have a real filibuster to his credit. He voted for cr@p - making sure Iran got $150 BILLION sent to its most extreme people. He voted to release the TPA (and campaigned for many, many months about how it MUST PASS). He pushed for a 500% increase in legal immigration. And he was our “best” example of of d@mn conservative!

Trump ignores the criticism and violently clubs idiots into submission. He follows much of what we believe conservatives should stand for, but in our lives, no “conservative” ever shows they give a darn.

Cruz is, and was, a completely impotent man—well-intended, but completely ineffective. He was a lawyer fighting like a lawyer. He had no substantive examples of his work, save for talking before the Supreme Court. He has no legislative successes, save for talking overnight when it didn’t even qualify as a filibuster.

I gave to Cruz, but I support Trump.

Go Trump!!”

We need someone like Trump to clear the way for someone like Cruz to have a chance to accomplish anything good.

That's just how I see it.

Please pardon my few typos in the immediately prior post. I’m doing this on a phone today.

It’s a faux taco. That’s his outreach to Latino voters?

Pathetic outreach. He needs to speak Spanish and hand out teddy bears and H1b visas to all.

I know Latina voters who are desperate to vote for Trump.

And they enjoy this “taco bowl” picture, because they know every other American eating from a taco bowl is offending their culture, already, but they are okay with us being ourselves.

Live with it.

Actually, there was a color TV broadcast in New York in 1929.

“His enemies, completely tone deaf and clueless, brand themselves as insufferable race pimps when they try to beat him up over a taco salad”

They have gone totally insane.

Anybody who finds this tweet offensive needs to have their head examined.

The taco bowl was invented by hispanics in the US. Trump never said it was Mexican.

As Dennis Miller said, “Biden is signing a deal to be the third guy with the other two in the Sonic Commercials.”

Cruz’s campaign was: Vote for me because I am carrying the purest conservative ideology around inside my brain. Never mind the piercing nasal voice, the greasy face and hair, and the anguished, hang-dog expression, and the lies about my citizenship, and Trump’s positions, and my finances, and my two decades as a Bush lackey.
