I'm still waiting for Biden to throw in his bid. He's the best second choice if Hillary self destructs.

Donald Trump’s appalling reaction to a hate crime committed in his name

Two Boston men were charged yesterday in the beating of a homeless Mexican man. The victim was allegedly sleeping outside a subway station when brothers Scott and Steve Leader rummaged through his things, then started beating him around the face and neck and hitting him with a metal pole. One witness heard the brothers laughing as they walked away.

Here's what police say Scott Leader told them to justify the assault: "Donald Trump was right — all these illegals need to be deported."

Here's what Donald Trump said when told about the alleged assault (according to the Boston Globe) at a press conference in New Hampshire: "I haven't heard about that. It would be a shame, but I haven't heard about that." Then the crowd buzzed, and Trump added: "I will say that people who are following me are very passionate. They love this country and they want this country to be great again. They are passionate. I will say that, and everybody here has reported it."

Here's the video, provided by the Trump campaign. The exchange in question starts at 7:50, but unfortunately you can't hear the questioner. The first question appears to be about death threats against Megyn Kelly; Trump's remarks quoted by the Boston Globe, which the Globe says (and the Trump campaign did not dispute) are about the assault, start at 8:28.

In other words, Trump, asked a question about an alleged hate crime committed by two of his followers, pivoted to praising the "passion" of his followers.

When people are committing hate crimes in your name, you do not call them "passionate." You do not say they "want this country to be great again." You say they do not represent you or your beliefs. You talk about why your followers are different from people who beat up homeless men because they're "illegal."

Donald Trump isn't explicitly saying it's okay to beat people up because of how they look, but at least two men have interpreted it that way. And instead of telling them, and the rest of his followers, that that interpretation is unequivocally wrong, he's — at best — framed it as a moderately regrettable downside of his movement's "passion."

I'm starting to see kinks in his armor. This isn't even about immigration anymore. Dude is straight up racist, or at least turning a blind eye to hate crimes motivated by his words. I sure as hell don't want a white supremacist racist as president. Cue the American Hitler.

Well you see the shit blacks are constantly doing in Ferguson, Baltimore, and any other town with significant black population when things don't go their way.

Darren Wilson gets acquainted - Ferguson is on fire.
Some felon dies in police custody - Baltimore is on fire.
Some felon gets shot while trying to flee from a DUI stop - riots wherever...
1 year later - Ferguson is on fire again.

Your typical white voter won't say it, but they are getting pretty tired of this. Then someone like Trump enters stage who will say the darnest things, and unfortunately they will resonate with the voters because of the above. Trump could say "deport all ni**ers to Africa", and they'd cheer because of the above. They are tired of political correctness.

Worst of all is that we're caught in the crossfire here. We need a new boogeyman.

They need you!
