Just when you thought it couldn't get any more ridiculous, security drags "black trans lives matter" protesters out of Hillary Clinton speaking event.
{ âSenator Clinton! Five black trans women were found murdered in this country!â one woman shouted. âSenator Clinton! It is a state of emergency!â }
What are they even protesting at this point?!?
Trump is gaining with Latinos? (Wall Street Journal columnist)
{ Something is going on, some tectonic plates are moving in interesting ways. My friend Cesar works the deli counter at my neighborhood grocery store. He is Dominican, an immigrant, early 50s, and listens most mornings to a local Hispanic radio station, La Mega, on 97.9 FM. Their morning show is the popular âEl VacilĂłn de la Mañana,â and after the first GOP debate, Cesar told me, they opened the lines to call-ins, asking listeners (mostly Puerto Rican, Dominican, Mexican) for their impressions. More than half called in to say they were for Mr. Trump. Their praise, Cesar told me a few weeks ago, dumbfounded the hosts. I later spoke to one of them, who identified himself as D.J. New Era. He backed Cesarâs story. âWe were very surprised,â at the Trump support, he said. Why? âItâs a Latin-based market!â
I said: Cesar, youâre supposed to be offended by Trump, he said Mexico is sending over criminals, he has been unfriendly, youâre an immigrant. Cesar shook his head: No, you have it wrong. Immigrants, he said, donât like illegal immigration, and theyâre with Mr. Trump on anchor babies. âThey are coming in from other countries to give birth to take advantage of the system. We are saying that! When you come to this country, you pledge loyalty to the country that opened the doors to help you.â
He added, âWe donât bloc vote anymore.â The idea of a âLatin voteâ is âdisparate,â which he said generally translates as nonsense, but which he means as âbull----.â
He finished, on the subject of Jorge Ramos: âThe elite have different notions from the grass-roots working people.â }
