Says the guy who keeps beating the tired old terminology drum about Trump's "Germanic-American" heritage.

Terminology defines differences. We cannot become the American ideal of the great melting pot until people, including those from other countries, stop trying to impose concepts like Hyphenated-Americans on our people. We don't need terminology, we need to deal with people as people.

Psst, psst... You're wrong. Mexican (and German, etc) can denote nationality or ethnicity.

Do you all really not know what ethnicity means?

eth·nic·i·ty

the fact or state of belonging to a social group that has a common national or cultural tradition.

Continuing the lesson:

An ethnic group or ethnicity is a category of people who identify with each other based on common language, ancestral, social, cultural, or national experiences. Unlike most other social groups, ethnicity is primarily an inherited status. Membership of an ethnic group tends to be defined by a shared cultural heritage, ancestry, origin myth, history, homeland, language or dialect, symbolic systems such as religion, mythology and ritual, cuisine, dressing style, art, and physical appearance.

Media makes it sound like the Trump supporters are inciting violence. Then you see the footage, and its all Trump protestors acting like thugs.

most of these protesters are paid for their actions. Hillary has no message whatsoever except to call Trump dangerous. no doubt she has some very slick people in her backroom that have come up with a strategy for her. in the last 2 weeks it has been working because i notice that she has stopped the bleeding in the polls and the betting lines. hopefully Trump is serious about winning and gets back on his game and slams her, the husband and the idiot president that has helped wreck this place. he
definitely has to shake things up before this very possible win slips away from him.

don't forget he just got done beating a field of 16 others that had no clue how to run a winning campaign and probably had no business running for president to start out with. Trump is now up against professional and very slick con- artist's that are out to steal more of your money in case you have any left. they are evil and no good.

Trumps brand of sunshine is exposing the leftist thug rioters for all to see what they really are and how they operate. And trying to bring blame on Donald will surely backfire, waving Mexican flags and beating on innocent
citizens may seem normal in sanctuary cities but real Americans will not be fooled but will be even more united. As for the police chief " Your fired"

Hyphenated-people are not of either.

I disagree. Even MSNBC was saying how it wasn't the Trump supporters and they were acting peacefully.

up until 11:00 a.m. MSNBC loves Trump as much or more than any other media outlet. after 5:00 its a different story though!

Just shows there is no real freedom of speech in this country.

Either you are on the left, or a terrible person.

The Constitution doesn't apply to justice-involved undocumented Democratic voters.

Obama speaking to a Dem fund raiser, tells San Jose rioters they shouldn't be acting like Republicans.

Nothing wrong with being in, or near, the middle.
