Jake Tapper just implied Hillary is mean to the Republicans

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Hillary said that the positions of the Republican candidates for president toward undocumented workers goes from "hostility to begrudging acceptance." Jake Tapper said that Jeb Bush can't be accused of "begrudging acceptance" because his wife is Latino...HRC was referring to Republican presidential candidate's positions toward undocumented workers not Latinos who have been here for thirty years and met their spouses in college.

1. I doubt that Hillary Clinton cares if Jake Tapper thinks that she is mean towards Trump and company

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. Did you see the interview?

I just saw the part they released.

[Thinkingabout]

3. Agree, she is trying to get votes and not worry about the republicans

[Kalidurga]

4. See she does have some great qualities.

[HappyMe]

5. Yeah, there is that one.

So the primary is over? We have to line up behind Clinton now?

[Kalidurga]

8. I am not lining up behind her.

But, I will still do a happy dance when she gives the Republicans hell or makes them have a sad.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

9. The sad

[Kalidurga]

13. Yes, I like that she is very good at taking shots at Republicans.

I would like it better if she didn't take shots at Democrats. It's not like there is a terribly wide gap in the philosophy of Hillary and Bernie. But, if you are talking actual policy advocacy, I like Bernie better.

[HappyMe]

15. Not general season yet.

Meh, I don't care.

[Snotcicles]

6. Their are times when a statemant like that could be worth a crisp hundred dollar bill to ya. edited

edited to change the word question to the word statement.

[MoonRiver]

7. Awww poor widdle Wepublicons.

We gotta be nicey to the babies, or Jake won't likey us.

[LWolf]

10. She does a good job of being verbally mean to Republicans

when she's giving speeches. It's a strength for her.

[Fred Sanders]

11. Mean to the media, mean to Republicans, focusing on the true enemies, there are none within.

[bunnies]

12. Wasnt she against undocumented immigrants not too long ago?

Send the children back and all that?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

14. It must have been a long time ago because Latinos gave her 68% of their votes in 2008

[bunnies]

16. Or more recent than that...

Still, Clinton has upset immigrant advocates in the past with other statements she’s made on immigration. When asked what to do with the influx of Latin American migrant children through the southern U.S. border last year, Clinton said that the kids “should be sent back” and that the U.S. should send “a clear message.” She said, “just because your child gets across the border, that doesn’t mean the child gets to stay.” DREAMers, or undocumented immigrants who came to the country as youths, said last October that Clinton copped out from answering questions about whether she would push the President to grant administrative deportation relief for undocumented immigrants.

18. She seems to be very popular among Latinos

As a white guy I think I will defer to their opinion and refrain from instructing them how to think and act.

[bunnies]

19. Who is instructing anyone how to think and act?

My question was re: Hillarys statements. It has nothing to do with her popularity within the Latino population. And certainly nothing to do with telling anyone what to do.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

20. I suspect they are aware of her and her relationship to their community...

I suspect they are aware of her and her relationship to their community and generally like her. I don't feel I have the standing to question their affinity.

[bunnies]

21. Ok well since Im not doing any of that...

We'll just note that a year ago Hillary was all for deporting undocumented children. You've successfully avoided that point, which was my *only* point, in full. I hope she will have a better explanation than "but Latinos like me anyway". That argument is more than a little weak.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

22. Shouldn't Latinos be the judge of that?

Why should I arrogate to myself the right to instruct them how to think?

[bunnies]

23. Youre being deliberatley obtuse.

And still avoiding the issue. *smh*

[DemocratSinceBirth]

24. I respectfully disagree...

I am not going to parse everything a candidate says and will leave it to those who are most affected by what any candidate says to render judgment.

I will say that immigration isn't an academic issue to me as I have close friends who are without documents and I trust Secretary Of State Clinton to do right by them.

[bunnies]

25. Thank you for the discussion.

I respect that you trust HRC on the issue. Im just trying to understand why she would say something like that if she (apparently?) didnt mean it. Honestly, I have a difficult time trusting SoS Clinton, largely because of contradictions like this instance. Not being Latino, I can only see this issue through my eyes and would never tell anyone who they should vote for. As a woman, it drives me *nuts* when someone tries to tell me who is best for me because of my gender. I would certainly never try to make anyone else feel that way.

And I hope you're right about her. I really do.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

26. I will take one stab at her answer...

The parents sent their children to America so they can have a better life...That's laudable...But are they really better off here or with their parents? Is that something we want to encourage? To me that's not so cut and dried.

And it's also very different from the plight of most undocumented workers who aren't separated from their families.

[bunnies]

28. Good points.

I'm not sure what my 'easy answer' would be if I had to come up with one. Perhaps I judged her to harshly on this one. Im open to being wrong.

[azmom]

29. Those kids were fleeing violence

Some were killed

[DemocratSinceBirth]

30. The ones fleeing violence should of couse be allowed to stay...

But as I have said, ad infintum and ad nauseum, I am more than happy to let African Americans, Latinos, Asians, and glbtq persons decide what is best for their communities.

17. jake tapper is a media....

well i won't say the word.

he is sensationalist all the way.

he did do a decent job reporting from charleston. the one bright spot on his resume imo.

[underpants]

27. The Jordan gif is perfect

Not that he is the best human in the world but these highly competitive and successful people are more than a bit likely to both have strong opinions and know how to talk crap.

[Cha]

31. Jake Tapper's a tool.. of course he did. They use to pull that shite with Pres Obama constantly.

[Cali_Democrat]

32. Tapper is going to do all he can to carry water for the GOP this election cycle

He was positively furious about Obama's election victories.

He's determined to do all he can to not let a Dem win 3 times in a row.

He's going to be pimping either Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

33. Fuck Jake Fapper

Another CNN dbag trying to give legitimacy to the KKKlown Kar.
