WASHINGTON (AP) -- Donald Trump's incendiary comments - and the GOP response - are proving political gold for Democrats.
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid jumped on both Tuesday, first attacking Trump for his criticism of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., then pivoting to a larger target: the growing GOP presidential field and the entire Republican Party.
Reid, D-Nev., noted that while Trump's GOP White House rivals were nearly unanimous in denouncing Trump's suggestion that McCain is not really a war hero, they were more tentative in responding to his criticisms of Mexican immigrants as "criminals" and "rapists."(continued)

Now that Harry is nearly blind from his brother's assault, it seems he can't read the polls that say the majority agrees with Don Trump. But you'd think one of his 22 year old aides could've told him.

The thing is, no one cares if the DEMS castigate the GOP!
I sure don’t. We do it here all the time.

Off topic, but did Trump ever get the requested FBI protection?
There are others besides Guzman.

My Dem leaning friend LOVES Trump. Their plan only works for the diehard lib base. Anyone with half a brain hates both parties these days.

One analyst comments that Trump appeals to a vein of the U.S. electorate that will remain a significant voting bloc for several election cycles to come: older whites.
Whites are still a monumental 75% of the vote.
The "Latino Bund" propaganda inflates its numbers to appear as if they are a "voting bloc." Stupid pols buy into it.
When Repubs swept the 2014 midterm, Fox's Brit Hume said latino votes were not a factor anywhere....the significant vote was over-50 whites.

Well, I would suggest to the GOP to use Rev Al Sharpton's words against the democrats.
I guess we can't count on the GOP to defend itself.

I’m having a minor celebration.
Browsed a lefty site and the recent popular post is:
“If Trump gets elected I’m moving to BC...who’s with me?”

I doubt he trusts the FBI. He has better people than that protecting him.
