It also insults so many Americans who married someone from another country or have parents or other ancestors who did, including many members of the U.S. armed forces.

If we are going to go down this road--and I hope to heaven we are not--please be aware that the response is very obvious: An anchor baby is created by one or more parents who entered the US illegally. In the case of the Trumps, neither he nor she entered the US illegally. In one case, US laws were broken. In the other case, US laws were followed.So, there's no valid comparison; it's a false eqivalency.

And the corporate media paraded this loser in the spotlight consistently enough to get the attention of the low information voters. So now, they (we) have a monster poised to be the "not Hillary" choice for President of the United States.



The rest of the world must be thinking WTF

I was just abroad and everyone I talked to, total strangers, once they heard my American accent said "what in heaven's name is going on over there? People actually want this guy to be President?!?!?". I tried to explain we're not all insane but they are horrified this idiot is getting any traction at all.

Should have told them then that they ain't seen nothing yet.

Something tells me that we haven't hit bottom even with Trump. But we are getting closer.

Gotta say that's a pretty novel immigration policy.

Should keep the numbers low, though.

Light-skinned north and central European might be a factor in Trump's subconscious. (He's not introspective or conscious enough to know what he really is doing.)

On the other hand Hair DrumpFührer calls Mexicans "rapists". He makes sure that people of color are much more likely to be ejected from rallies and therefore subjected to physical abuse on the way out at the hands of fans he has riled up and whose legal bills he promises to pay.
