re: #90 Dark_Falcon

It says that a lot of people in the base feel the party leadership hasn’t listened to them on immigration and so they’re at the moment supporting someone who is saying what they want to hear.

Trump is also showing why Vince McMahon brought him onboard for Wrestlemania one year: Trump’s the kind of over-the-top figure who can play well on TV, at least for a limited time.

What your party’s base wants to hear on immigration is deport all the Mexicans who came here to pick our crops, do our landscaping, clean our homes and cook in all our commercial kitchens, along with all the children they brought with them who grew up here and are culturally American now. Your party is intrinsically exploitative and racist, which is why the only solutions the base wants to hear involve zero tolerance and electric fences.

Your party’s base also hates women, and the kind of ridiculously abusive dick-swagger Trump exudes is chum in the water. It feeds the same dismissive attitude towards the worth of women as human beings with basic rights and equality that fuels your anti-choice movement. It’s part of the same pathology that every single candidate on that stage expressed or condoned by not standing up even for the rights of raped women to control their own reproductive health.
