That part I agree on, Trump is more of a lightning rod for a certain mindset than a mastermind who is manipulating that mindset in any sort of organised way. He is capitalising on it in broad,...

You not wanting to have a discussion because you either don't have a response, or most likely just can't be bothered, doesn't make me patronising. It's fine that you don't want a discussion. You...

I think a few of us are passable but let's face it... No one all that smart would be here in the first place. They'd be doing literally anything else.

Mexicans illegals are not currently, nor have they ever been, any sort of real threat to US security or the US economy. So yeah... I guess I sort of am saying that.

Are you suggesting that Trump does NOT blame any of America's problems on immigrants from Mexico, and does not advocate the mass deportation of Mexicans from the United States?
