Racism Works & Has Been Very Successful For GOP.. Trump's Base Overjoyed By These Remarks.

Remember it is all about getting out the base. And what Trump is doing is part of the next election. And sadly there are a lot of independents who support that language.

This is what his racist remarks DO: keep his neo-nazi thugs riled up and ready to hit the streets against anti-Trump protesters. Trump needs street violence to show he is a strong man and to round-up his opponents and jail them: see inauguration protests.

The talks on immigration were an opportunity for Trump to change the topic from senile dementia to racism.

Will his remarks have any effect of the immigration negotiating or legislation? No.

Trump is a natural autocrat. He knows he can't survive without some group to be internal enemy for him to pick on.
