You took a 48 word statement and condensed it to 3 words in order to use it for the express purpose of demonizing Trump.
And you call me the Troll?

"They're sending rapists" is indeed the essence of the message. You can parse the 48 words six ways from Sunday, but that's all just wordplay BS. What matters is the effect.
Do you think the lady ranting at the checkout counter is a great analyst of every word of the 'beautiful flowing sentences' of the Great Leader? I think she got the message, though.
I call you 'stupid troll,' btw.

What matters is the message in context, not what folks who disagree with the messenger want to do with the message.
This forum has changed for the worse since the election. The blind hatred and complete loss of perspective from members on the left appears to preclude anything close to a reasonable debate.
Oh well, it was fun for a while.

Do not accept your characterization of 'principled opposition' as 'blind hate.' That's just yet more empty insult, actually.
Not having so much fun any more? Cry me a river.

Not much "principle" in saying "Fuck you straight to hell", is there Don. Blind hate is exactly what that is. So, many happy returns.

Well, in fact, principle was a strong factor. Goes to motive.
And, definitely, not blind.

Having listened to his message about Mexican rapists live when Trump made it, I understand the context perfectly well. "Taking something out of context" is the classic excuse when a politician says something indefensible or profoundly stupid. Trump's comments were both as is your defense of them. Let's now hear your defense of his comments on Judge Curiel or on pussy-grabbing and how the coverage thereof somehow constituted fake news. I'm sure it will be equally inane.

The problem is, Finn, that you want Trump's comments to paint him as a "racist". You need to paint those comments as racist. Because you have nothing else.

No one disagrees that the Billy Bush conversation was not appropriate. It was "locker room banter" between two men, one of whom didn't realize he was being taped. No excuse for the comments, and no excuse other than needing a "hit piece" for releasing the tape.

Well, other than it being real news.
