"I know you share my disgust with the comments Donald Trump recently made," the 2016 Democratic presidential candidate said. "The real problem isn't that the Republicans have such a hate-spewing character running for president — the problem is that it's so hard to tell him apart from the other candidates."

"What does it say about the direction of today's Republican Party that Donald Trump calls all New Americans from Mexico 'rapists' and 'drug dealers' and 'murderers?'"O'Malley asked. "And the best their leadership can summon up is that they're 'divided.' There's nothing to be divided about here!"

1. SMART!

2. Donald Trump is already running for the "Know Nothing" party.

That's why his hate drives up his poll numbers.

4. Head of Hispanic advocacy group challenges Republican leaders to repudiate Trump

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Donald Trump is no Republican sideshow, the country’s largest Latino advocacy organization is warning. He’s a real, potentially long-term hindrance to the party’s chances of capturing any significant portion of the Hispanic vote in 2016’s presidential election.

That’s the message Janet Murguía, the leader of the National Council of La Raza, sent in an interview ahead of her Tuesday afternoon speech that will close the group’s annual convention — and that will label the presidential candidate’s remarks about Mexican immigrants, “by definition, racism.”

The stark warning sent by the former Clinton administration official whose group has previously hosted Republican presidents — including George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush — came as Trump climbs in national and early-state polls. His shadow looms over the annual convention of the generally left-leaning grass-roots group that supports immigration reform, a convention that saw no Republican candidates in attendance this year.

GOP leaders’ refusal to repudiate Trump weighs more heavily on the party every day as it strays further from its post-2012 report outlining a path to reconciling with Latino voters, Murguía said, though she does plan to acknowledge Bush and Sen. Lindsey Graham as two candidates who have distanced themselves from Trump in her address.
