McShame: Trump really fired up 'the crazzies' in AZ with his immigration talk
2015-07-17
[Hot Air] If there are any votes left among tea-party border hawks that haven't already migrated (temporarily) to Trump, this ought to shake them loose.

To think, there are conservatives out there in America today who are convinced their party's elder statesmen view them with contempt.

"It's very bad," McCain, who was eager to talk about Trump, told me on Monday when I stopped by his Senate office. The Senator is up for reĂŤlection in 2016 and he pays close attention to how the issue of immigration is playing in his state. He was particularly rankled by Trump's rally. "This performance with our friend out in Phoenix is very hurtful to me," McCain said. "Because what he did was he fired up the crazies."...

"We'll see how this plays out, but there is some anger in my state," McCain said. He mentioned the continuing challenges of border security that were vividly highlighted when tens of thousands of Central American minors crossed into America last summer. "People who otherwise might be more centrist are angry about this border situation."

#7  I have a POW bracelet with Mr. McCain's info on it. It will hit the recycling next week.
It might even be shreddable in a Waring blender, if it's made of aluminum. Wouldn't that make a great YouTube video?

#6  Republicans need to invert his conversation.
(1) Any company that pays less than minimum wage will be fined severely and possibly put in jail.
(2) Sanctions against the Oligarchs in Mexico that have profited off of the abject poverty. Poverty that has forced many to risk death (and sexual slavery) crossing the desert to work just to survive.

Let folks defend lowering the minimum wage, or why illegals should be paid less than American workers or work in conditions considered unsafe for American workers. I think Republicans should welcome such a conversation.

Let folks defend the Mexican oligarchs that have screwed up Mexico for a century. Why should the European-blooded oligarchs be allowed a pass?

#2  McShame knows wherewith he speaks about unhingedness--not exactly a paragon of stability himself.

#1  They confuse the anger directed at them and their abject failure to control the border with anger at los illegales. You have no loyalty to me as an American, then expect none in return. Had you actually secured the border 10 years ago as you were suppose to, talk today would be about integration of the working and contributing elements you hide behind in your faux moralization.
