An embattled Donald Trump urgently rallied his most visible supporters to defend his attacks on a federal judge’s Mexican ancestry during a conference call on Monday in which he ordered them to question the judge’s credibility and impugn reporters as racists. “We will overcome,” Trump said, according to two supporters who were on the call and requested anonymity to share their notes with Bloomberg Politics. “And I’ve always won and I’m going to continue to win. And that’s the way it is.”

He was only getting around 40% of the GOP vote before Cruz and Kasich dropped out. Even as of now, I don’t think he’s caught up to the number of votes that Sanders and Clinton have gotten. In short, he’s still a low risk of getting elected. People just underestimated his ability to gather extremists to his cause.

My point is even taking a rough estimate of 30million GOP voters, 40% is 12million and that, my friend, is a big number. That such a demographic finds him electable and proud of it must be of concern

I’m not surprised that there are so many people that are proud of Trump. The GOP has sought benefits from implied racism since the 1960’s. The party has basically been able to keep it in the proverbial closet until now. Trump is just their chickens coming home to roost.
That’s why I’m not too concerned about Trump winning. Racists have been voting for decades, and they’ve been unable to decide an election on their own. The groups they prey upon have increased in size, while they have remained stagnant.

They’ve had them in the past. Woodrow Wilson was an incredibly racist President, and he was President 100 years ago.
The problem is that they think they’re still in the same level of influence as they were back then.

It’s Clinton’s election to lose, really. Each major party (GOP and Democrat) gets about 40% of the vote just because of party loyalty. Included in that are the extreme supporters who hate the opposing party no matter what. This number includes closet racists flocking to Trump’s campaign.
A blowout would mean Trump only gets 40% of the popular vote. With moderate Republicans not even liking him, there’s a very good chance that will happen.

Bloomberg…
Now there is a totally objective, fair and balanced news source if ever there was one.
What Bloomberg doesn’t tell you is that this particular judge is a leftist using his judicial authority to implement his own opinion of justice.
Also, Bloomberg doesn’t tell you that this judge has been ruling against THE Donald for years.
And as such, the judge is not impartial and thus, incapable of rendering just rulings.

which would indicate that Trump’s nonsense about a “wall” has nothing to do with the judge’s judgements since you claim its been “years”.
I do love when SOM’s nonsense trips him up in his claims. It’s as funny as watching creationists claim that Judge Jones was an activist judge in the Dover case and demonstrate their ignorance that he is a Repulican and was appointed by a Repubican president.

I hope when he looses he goes into a deep permanent depression and becomes a recluse. Did you know he is a germaphobe, like Howard Hughes?

@S.O.M. I would ask what credited news source you got the information on the Judge from? See I watch a lot of news, I have a two computer set up on my desk, one I work from and the other I watch news on. None of the major news channels have reported on what you said about the Judge. So before I can determine if the information is credible I need to understand where you got it from. Thank you. Hugs

It is not a Mexican interest group operating in THE US. You can not call our country America sir, as the name covers Canada and Mexico. We are the United States of America, Canada is correctly called Canada of America. I think you get the point I am making is the organization works for HISPANICS that are in the USA, not mexico. Now I am willing to hear valid criticisms of the judge, but not ones that are ideologically drive. Thanks. Hugs

Sorry S.O.M. but again as normal we disagree. I said in my comments that the USA is a very diverse country. A Melting Pot, as I am sure you have heard of. Sorry I don’t buy that the name of a Hispanic welfare group is racist any more than I would accuse a “gay straight Alliance” club of being a club that rapes and “makes” everyone gay. I realize there are real bigots, and I think your one. I served in two branches of our governments military … and we thought a lot about what we were protecting. How about you ? We welcomed different ethnic groups and we treated everyone the same, even loved each other. I reject the idea that the name La Raza is racist just by being a name. I have taken the time this evening to look up their activities and you are very wrong about their being anti USA.
You ask me , with out any proof, or any link to another site, to “quit making excuses for real live bigots” however you seem very close to being one of those. I served next to and deeply dependent on my fellow service members. Have you ever taken a bullet? Have you ever needed to know that your fellow solider will take that bullet for you? Please don’t push me on this, because ignorance and fanatic worship of a singular God wont erase the service I have lived.
Because of your online stance, I ask the same question I did a time ago, which G.M.F. Got really upset with… I asked if you are a “troll” an “internet Troll” and you know what that title is, or do you really have a so narrow view of life. It is up to you to answer, or do what you did the last time I asked you and never respond again. It is your choice, however the internet will know your answer. Be well and happy.. ( if that seems a weird wish then you don’t know me. ) hugs.

So, SOM, is the NAACP or the American Indian College Fund also “racist” as you claim about La Raza, since your silly claim would also apply here?
From the NCLR website: “The term “La Raza” has its origins in early 20th century Latin American literature and translates into English most closely as “the people” or, according to some scholars, “the Hispanic people of the New World.” The term was coined by Mexican scholar José Vasconcelos to reflect the fact that the people of Latin America are a mixture of many of the world’s races, cultures, and religions. The full term coined by Vasconcelos, “la raza cósmica,” meaning “the cosmic people,” reflects an expansive, inclusive view of the mixture inherent in Hispanics and that Hispanics share a common heritage and destiny with all other people of the world.”
As usual, SOM, you are a great example of how ignorance doesn’t work very well in the internet age.

Oh and again I tell you that this country I served and love is not America. it is The United States Of America.
The Americas, or America,[5][6][7] also known as the Western Hemisphere[8] and the New World, comprise the totality of territories in North America and South America.[9][10][11]
Along with their associated islands, they cover 8% of the Earth’s total surface area and 28.4% of its land area. The topography is dominated by the American Cordillera, a long chain of mountains that run the length of the west coast. The flatter eastern side of the Americas is dominated by large river basins, such as the Amazon, Mississippi, and La Plata. Since the Americas extend 14,000 km (8,700 mi) from north to south, the climate and ecology vary widely, from the arctic tundra of Northern Canada, Greenland, and Alaska, to the tropical rain forests in Central America and South America..
You can look it up if you want? Be well I want to move on to hear really challenging news, people who may have a solution for our planet and far beyond the crying “god will save us” Be well, hugs
