Ramos was asking Trump to be specific on HOW he was going to deport 11 million people. A very fair question to which the candidate has given no answer. Maybe he will give the Border Patrol huge powers to engage in midnight raids.

Then it's 'ethnic' bias rather than racial bias. A distinction without a difference.

But the media lives on ratings.

New Poll out today and Trump is still kicking the ass off of the rest of the Republican field!

http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/27/politi...iac/index.html

Quote:
The Quinnipiac University poll, released Thursday, also shows Donald Trump smashing the GOP presidential competition garnering 28% support from registered Republican voters in the 17-member field. The real estate mogul's closest competitor is retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, who tallies 12%.

Just 7% said they would vote for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, a record low since November 2013.
Quote:
Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Marco Rubio of Florida both are tied with Bush at 7%, the polls shows, with Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker at 6% and former tech CEO Carly Fiorina and Ohio Gov. John Kasich tied at 5%.

The interesting thing about this new Quinnipiac poll is that Bush is in single digits. I don't necessarily think he's done (he has a ton of money and can probably get all he wants) but his campaign and he himself have been so lackluster and unfocused that he's going to have to start over to get anywhere.

(Trump was right when he called Bush a "low energy candidate".)

It doesn't matter.

His voters will buy it.

They will also be delighted that he gave Ramos the "Bum's Rush".

This isn't entirely fair but.....

Duke has walked his endorsement back a bit, and in typically bigoted fashion, and Trump has said that he doesn't want the endorsement but it does shed a lot of light on Trump's appeal and on whom it appeals to.
