It's beautiful.

So i live in the Coachella Valley, home to Palm Springs and Indio. So I just realized until looking it up that i had no idea who was going up against my congressman Raul Ruiz. He's been running an english and spanish version of the same ad on a decent schedule here and no one i know even realized he had a challenger. The shift of voting power to Hispanics in this district is pretty damn strong

Under Trump's "populist" tax plan, bottom 80% of taxpayers see almost no increase in after-tax income, top 1%'s after-tax income surges.

This is the type of thing that needs to be in every Hillary commercial. Today's income inequality thing was the first step. Now show the rural poor that voting for Trump makes zero sense.

I don't think she should just let the call to profile millions of people go. That can't be normalized. I don't think she need to make anew ad about it but I hope it gets brought up in the debate

Nor calling Syrian refugees the largest group of ISIS victims Trojan horse terrorists who are a cancer from within.


It's fucking horrific. These are people just trying to escape persecution and murder and execution and now they're being given it all again in what was supposed to be their safe haven

It's fucking unconscionable

Maybe not, but the simple fact he even mentioned profiling is a big red flag. Black people should know about that all to well.

This.

Clinton's surrogates better hammer this home. He claimed to want to help communities of color but plans to endorse profiling. How can he be trusted?

I feel like it's only a matter of time until Trump slips up and drops an actual racial slur...

Actually that's fairly unlikely but still super plausible.

No doubt. Both groups know the damages of profiling and now it's being used against another group. Or any group Trump deems worthy enough. I mean hell. The man already wants to restrict and sue the press of everything.


Btw I think Clinton surrogates should mention it, but don't go too hard on it. Just show your contrast on it. You can hit Trump on this without mentioning him. Let him keep on this rabbit hole if he wants. His problem is he overextends himself in these situations.

David Duke is on a roll posting pepe memes to his twitter. But he's just a cartoon frog that literally everyone finds funny and totally not associated with white supremacy whatsoever. Hillary's campaign shouldn't have sullied his good name like they did.

Unfortunately the anti-Muslim stuff probably doesn't hurt him too much.

Most Americans agree with him on suspending immigration from Muslim countries. He won't be hurt if he controls himself. Of course he rarely can control himself so I wouldn't be stunned if he hurts himself by going too far ("Obama/Hillary support terrorists more than cops/Obama loves this terrorist more than he loves America/etc" shit like that).

It just sometimes feels like Trump's get favored more regarding coverage. Makes me sick.

It's really frustrating. When she gave the alt-right speech they basically shrugged or complained it was somehow a new low (Chuck Todd). Trump rips and snorts and it's wall to wall coverage with surrogates waving it off as "not your usual politician".

I hope they're finally waking up but watching Todd let Alex Castellanos slide with his "otherness" comments on MTP and Dickerson acting almost apologetic towards Kellyanne for bringing up the birther story doesn't fill me with a lot of hope.

I was listening to a podcast recently of people who were saying Pepe wasn't a symbol of white supremacy, but a funny meme.

Obviously it's a meme. It's just one that has explicitly been hijacked by the alt right to be a white supremacist meme.

Why kill the goose that lays the golden egg? Trump is literally signing these pundits paychecks right now.
