Political ‘experts’ claim that no presidential candidate can win without substantial support by the fastest growing demographic in America; Hispanics. I’m not positive in this election year if any ‘experts’ remain, but if they do, Donald Trump is losing his own campaign. If the mainstream media was doing its job, and exposing Donald Trump, a mandate they must respect, Hillary Clinton would be winning by more than 20 points. Hillary’s e-mails are a joke when the facts about Trump’s many failures are revealed
Because the media fails the American people, I will do my job and offer the truth to our people.
After Trump’s racist speech, which cast suspicion and unsubstantiated attacks upon Hispanic Americans, Trump’s own staff denounced him and resigned from his campaign.
Jacob Monty resigned from Trump’s own National Hispanic Advisory Council after Trump’s speech in Arizona.
“I was a strong supporter of Donald Trump when I believed he was going to address the immigration problem realistically and compassionately,” he told Politico. “What I heard today was not realistic and not compassionate.”
Monty reported his disappointment with his former boss.
“When we met [earlier in August] he was going to approach this issue with a realistic plan, a compassionate plan, with a plan that was not disruptive to the immigrants that were here that were not lawbreakers,” Monty told Politico on Wednesday. “He didn’t deliver any of that.”
So, where does this place Trump in the race for the presidency? His demographics remain the same as they did one-year ago. He is supported by like-minded men and women who are mostly white and upper middle class. They support his white supremacist stand, and believe in his racism and bigotry.
Trump has exposed the Republican party for what it is; what I have been reporting for years. He is a classic representative of the GOP in the 21st century. They can no longer call themselves the ‘Party of Lincoln,’ or even the party of Reagan. They are a despicable group of self-serving individuals who have no concern for our nation and its people.
The biggest problem with the GOP is that it continues to believe that voters are ignorant. When the party implodes next year, we will see several things happen simultaneously. Those who believe in the principles of past Republicans will reform the party. It will become more moderate and support our democratic republic. The extremists, who call themselves the “TEA Party,” or the “Freedom Caucus,” will be forced to create their own party and find their own national support both philosophically and economically. Those who supported Donald Trump will have no place to go. They will likely form the “American Fascist Party,” and disappear within their first year.
For nearly two decades the Republican Party has ignored the fact that America is quickly changing. Several demographics are replacing older white men and women. All of these groups oppose racism, bigotry, and homophobia. They also reject organized religion, seeking independence from the control of a cult leader.
America is changing, and antiquated politicians cannot halt the growth of a nation.
Trump is a part of our nation’s disreputable past. To all Americans, I say, “move forward, or move out.”
