US presidential election updates: Republicans in damage control after racist Puerto Rico comments at Trump rally
Donald Trump’s campaign condemns speaker at Madison Square Garden rally after Kamala Harris makes play for Puerto Rican voters with days to go before the 5 November election
These are terrible people and if you're still a Republican at this point, it's not a deal breaker for you.
You're viewing a single thread.
Trump is going to lose.
God I fuckin hope so.
This is turning into a major fuck-up on their part and it happened way too close to Election Day.
God I fuckin hope so.
It's bad, as in evil bad, but it's not "Hillary's emails" bad for him. (Which I mention because it's the anniversary of the FBI reopening the investigation, which turned out to show no laws broken, but it tanked her campaign.)
Remember when Trump said he could kill someone and not lose a single vote? It's even more true now. What we need to do is get every sane vote INTO THE BALLOT TABULATORS, and those of all of the convinceable crazies as well.
Its kinda surprising to me that this seems to get some of them more defensive that some of his previous controversies, its not like Trump isnt known for racism. Best I can think of is that Puerto Rico is a US territory rather than a foreign country, but given how much it gets just kinda forgotten about in US politics, that doesnt feel like the right explanation.
Only if we put in the effort.
Only if we all vote.
I voted last week and hope more people do the same this week.
Don't hope, call people! One demographic they need help with is non college-educated white males:
I certainly hope so, but it's by no means assured. I still remember how gut-wrenching it was when he won 8 years ago, and if he does again those following 4 years will seem like a fun time by comparison.
I hope so, but I doubt this does it. This is just par for the course really.
