John Tanton is the racist architect of the modern anti-immigration movement. He is co-founder of the "Center for Immigration Studies"" which was featured in a GOP prez wannabe ad. Why?

Tanton warned of a coming "Latin onslaught" years ago. Is this ad a wink and nod to all the GOP prez wannabe's racist supporters? Could the GOP prez wannabe actually be that ignorant of what his ads communicate? I thought he was a hands-on guy. So if he is then he cannot used deniability as he tried to do when he denied knowing anything about white supremacy or David  Duke.  Using a racist organization in a political ad is not the best way to appeal to minorities. So how and why did it happen?

    Donald Trump's campaign is so backward at this point it's like a comedy routine. I honestly think he's just so stupid and self-absorbed as to be incapable of any rational thought.

    Hello Rosie:

    There's no winking anymore..  Trump is making an all out push to get the white vote.  His pleas to the black community AREN'T meant for them, because he makes 'em in front of WHITE audiences..  He's seeking the WHITE women's vote, who don't want to be associated with a bigot. 

    Do you think he's fooling any of 'em??

    I can't argue that CSV. He does seem to be a character in a cartoon doesn't he?  Thank you for your reply and Happy  Sunday! :)

    I just wonder if there are enough racists/bigots to elect Trump prez excon.  We KNOW he has 14 million or so supporters, right? How many more millions are out there who will vote for him? Every choice he makes is shocking. They are getting worser and worser and worser. Thank you for your reply m'dear and Happy Sunday! :)
