Well he was wrongThe people spoke and elected Bush too 2 times. No, I didn't like what they had to say.The people have spoken you just dont like what they have to sayWhich justifies Trump's stupidity how?Wait.. you just described Obama and his brain-dead minions.
After all, Donald Trump is not an ordinary presidential candidate, or an ordinary Republican. He is a racist, misogynistic, xenophobic bigot. He has proposed banning Muslims from entering the United States; called Mexican immigrants rapists and criminals; supported the deportation of 11 million undocumented immigrants; routinely treated women with sexist disdain; advocated for torture of suspected terrorists; and generally dismissed the rule of law. He is, as my colleague Jamelle Bouie lucidly explained, a fascist, in a completely different category from previous Republican presidential nominees.
Romney and McCain had qualities and policies that Ginsburg surely loathed as well. But they always had Americaās best interests at heart. That is altogether untrue of the sinister and self-interested Trump. For Ginsburg to treat Trump with the same respectāthat is, complete silenceāthat she afforded previous Republican nominees would acquiesce to the premise that his candidacy is just like theirs. It would suggest that this is an election like any other, a run-of-the-mill election rather than a battle for Americaās soul. It would legitimize a fascist.

When good people don't speak up, guys like Hitler and Trump win.
And the people haven't spoken yet. Don't let down the confetti just yet.
Where did Trump ever say Mexicans were rapists and criminals? His disdain for the rule of law? There was disdain for any rules about the law last week when the powers to be decided to gave hillary a pass on her being reckless with national security. Anyway, I'll wait for you to post where Trump said Mexicans were rapists and criminals.
Data on immigrants and crime are incomplete, but a range of studies show there is no evidence immigrants commit more crimes than native-born Americans. In fact, first-generation immigrants are predisposed to lower crime rates than native-born Americans.
Donald Trumpās false comments connecting Mexican immigrants and crime
Immigration and crime levels have had inverse trajectories since the 1990s: immigration has increased, while crime has decreased. Some experts say the influx of immigrants contributed to the decrease in crime rates, by increasing the denominator while not adding significantly to the numerator.
The Congressional Research Service found that the vast majority of unauthorized immigrants do not fit in the category that fits Trumpās description: aggravated felons, whose crimes include murder, drug trafficking or illegal trafficking of firearms.
CRS also found that non-citizens make up a smaller percentage of the inmate population in state prisons and jails, compared to their percentage to the total U.S. population.
An analysis of 2010 Census data in a report from the American Immigration Council, a pro-immigration group, shows that 1.6 percent of immigrant males 18 to 39 years old were incarcerated, compared to 3.3 percent of native-born males. That disparity in incarceration rates has been consistent in the decennial Census since 1980, the report says.
four out of five arrests for drug smuggling involved U.S. citizens.
The theory is that immigrants generally have a stronger incentive than native-born Americans to stay out of legal trouble ā especially undocumented immigrants, who risk deportation. And those who legally are in the United States (or are pursuing legal status) are required to pass a criminal background check.
Itās difficult to connect any crime with illegal immigration, by its nature. Drug smuggling and violent crimes do exist, but the cases are not indicative of larger trends in the immigrant population. What we do know about crime rates among non-citizens and inmates with unknown or unauthorized immigrant statuses show Trumpās assertions about a crime wave are not accurate.
