Support NeoGAF

Call him Mr. Brexit.

It just dawned on me that these two have been bitter enemies for the whole election but haven't met face to face in it yet. The Wrath of Khan indeed!

Trump: "[Clinton] supports open borders that violate the civil rights of African-Americans by giving their jobs to people here unlawfully."

That's classic Trump. The fact he thinks this will work is cute.

Holy shit. He forgot to add "and then she's also bringing Muslims to kill African-Americans people and even Latinos, but Latinos are also taking jobs from African Americans so how about you all just attack each other?"

Goddamn, I wish Hillary would support open borders.

Birther talking about disparaging comments, this is disgusting and I want it to end already.

Oh god, he said it. Mr. Brexit.

"These low paying no benefit jobs shouldn't belong to hispanics, they should belong to you!"

 

[Slayven]

he said Hillary said something but won't say what she said?

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Ah yes, the good ole pit minorities against each other.

He's a tremendous unifier.

 

[JHoNNy1OoO]

What "cringe worthy comments" was Trump talking about? More dog-whistle bullshit?

 

[User 463088]

 

[B-Dubs]

Goddamn, I wish Hillary would support open borders.

We're at the very least a decade away from that being a possibility. We really do need an open border with Canada at the very least.

 

[Hydrophobic]

Falsely smears republicans as being racist? Must be nice not remembering Steve King.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Whoever wrote the speech is the biggest liar of them all.

Off course because the only jobs that African-Americans can obtain are low paying shit jobs.

Just drop the charade and drop the N-bomb while you are at it. You are speaking to them in those fucking terms.

PIVOT!

 

[GurgleBot20]

This supports the idea that Trump isn't trying to pivot towards people of color, he's trying to pivot towards those who think democrats are the real racists.

I know we like to kid


But I really think this pivot is a thing

This is Breitbart talking

If you want the wall it makes you an American per Trump.

I don't want the wall, what am I?

The real racist.

 

[User1608]

Trying to turn us against each other won't work, Donald.

You are racist. Racist. Racist. And so are the great majority of your supporters.

Oh I'm not sure it'll make a difference.

But his tone and his talking points are notably more refined and targeted.

Sure, it's no longer Trump doing anything, he's literally a puppet right now.

 

[Emarv]

Whoever Trump's new speechwriter is lately deserves some credit. They've finally found a way to get decently effective political attacks that somehow still sound like they've come out of Trump's dumb brain.

This is not a pivot. Like, it's not. I mean, I get the idea that we should stay vigilant. This is Breitbart talking right now, with a teaspoon of PC added to the mix.

If Trump's play is to get back college educated whites, this isn't the way to do it. They're not refusing to vote for him because he's a racist. It's because he's unqualified. White people will happily support a racist if it doesnt' hurt them. Trump would hurt them. Ergo, this pivot is spinning in place.

Well sure. He's still a piece of shit with racist trash policies. But his rhetoric is waaaaaaaaaay more disciplined. That's all I meant.

 

[Hydrophobic]

Aren't we vetting the refugees we're taking in already?

 

[User 463088]

Oh my god.

"People who want to ban Muslim immigration are not Islamaphobes. They just want to prevent terrorism"

Please tell me I heard this wrong. PLEASE.

 

[watershed]

A republican trying to pit minorities against each other is not a pivot.

 

[Owzers]

More focused, concentrated ass instead of talking about a mosquito flying around his head or Megyn kelly.

 

[TheFatOne]

It's just pure desperation. They finally got through to Trump and he realizes the ship is headed towards a catastrophic failure. For a man who has built his entire image on winning it would be devastating. Has no choice, but to try and make this pivot stick. Will most likely not last though.

Is it?

Yeah

Telling U man, this is way more disciplined. He's dialed it back to dog whistles.

[User 463088]

This is some of the most "I'm not racist you are" shit that I've ever seen. Ever. This is so fucking tone deaf in a million, billion ways.

And he just said minorities live in poverty, violence and fear.

Aren't we vetting the refugees we're taking in already?

Yes. Very heavily.

4 Things To Know About The Vetting Process For Syrian Refugees

1. Refugees are screened by several different agencies.

Their first point of a refugee's contact is with the U.N. High Commission for Refugees. The UNHCR refers people to countries based on whether they have any family members there and where resettlement makes the most sense, say U.S. officials. If that's the U.S., then refugees are vetted by the National Counterterrorism Center, the FBI's Terrorist Screening Center, and the Departments of State, Defense and Homeland Security. Fingerprints are taken, biographical information is collected. They are then each individually interviewed by U.S. officials trained to verify that they're bona fide refugees.

Refugees from Syria are then subject to additional screening that looks at where they came from and what caused them to flee their home, stories that are checked out. All of this occurs before a refugee is allowed to set foot in the country.

2. It's a lengthy process.

As you might imagine, all of the vetting, from interviews to fingerprinting, takes a while. On average, officials say it's 18 to 24 months before a refugee is approved for admission to the U.S.

The U.S. has admitted some 1,800 Syrian refugees in the past two years, and President Obama wants to allow 10,000 more. The administration says half of those who have been admitted are children and about a quarter of them are adults over 60. Officials say 2 percent are single males of combat age.

Yeah, but we're not extreme vetting them.

A pivot is not saying the same things slightly nicer. It's expanding policies to bring more people in. It's changing from one policy to another. Putting lipstick on a pig don't mean it ain't a pig no more. And when pushed directly, Trump falls back immediately to the original language.

TRUMP JUST CRITICIZED PEOPLE FOR LIVING IN LAVISH PALACES.

Wow. He thinks that he's supporting the African American community with this, and that's what makes this fascinating and terrible, like a car crash. A racist car crash that insults most people who aren't white.

I think you have a slight blind spot on this one tbh - maybe it's not a pivot in the traditional sense, but it's definitely a tonal shift. This will not win over minorities, but is the same dog whistle shit that most Rs feel totally cool getting down with.
