“I love the Mexicans! They’re great people, but the people that are coming aren’t the Mexicans that we want. And they’re not just Mexicans — they’re coming from all over the place,” Trump told The News."

Yeah, that will get ya the Latino vote, idiot.

His candidacy strikes just the right chord!

Now we have someone who doesn't even bother to disguise his batshit craziness. This helps to reveal the Republican primary season as the circus of fools we all know it to be.

It must be an embarrassment for people to admit they are Republican nowadays. And that's just the way I like it!

and to call Trump offensive, obnoxious and insulting is an understatement.

Would any sane person think this video was a good idea?

Who had talked to two of the actors who were paid to attend the event. Apparently another article talked to other actors, which Media Matters then confirmed were not the same. So there is no coincidence for "The Donald".
