Trump: Don't Want David Duke Endorsement

Alright, well I guess I am just hearing something very different from him. I've seen plenty of times where people ask him "Mexican" and he immediately goes, "I am not talking about Mexicans, I am talking about illegals" and then has mentioned we don't know where they are coming from. He has been very clear that he is talking about ALL illegals. It just so happens that the vast majority are Mexican and/or Hispanic. He is CONSTANTLY referring to them as Hispanics. Hell, he can't get over the polls about Hispanics and how he is doign so well in places like Nevada lol. I mean, I am really not hearing this "Mexican" talk. Where are you reading your news?

Maybe you personally feel like he painted them with a broad brush, but I think he's been pretty clear a million times he is talking about ILLEGAL immigrants that are bad. I mean, you are latching on to one comment he made where he essentially said some of them were bad, maybe even had a "broad brush" description of them all that maybe some could say he implied most of them were bad, but he has clarified like 1000 other times he was referring to the bad people, the murderers the rapists and so on that are in this country illegally. By latching on to the one comment I think shows a bit of a bias imo.

The guy has thousands of Hispanics that work for him, several in high-paying executive positions for his company. The guy wants to solve the illegal immigration problem and as such, he is drumming up support by focusing on the small % of illegals that are actually murderers and rapists who wouldn't actually be here if the US actually gave a damn about their border. This is not racist.

People are seeing through the media's attempt to paint him as a racist when he really isn't, hence why his poll numbers keep going up. If he was so racist, how come I know so many Hispanic MEXICANS in my personal life who actually like Trump? I mean, I know a lot, I live in Tucson, AZ, 40 minutes from the border. There's a lot here. Would they REALLY like someone who was racist against them? Or, is it maybe they just realize that it's the media trying their best to paint Trump as a racist when he really isn't...
