1. Didn't he say the same thing in 2016 and people still voted for him?

Don't get me wrong. All he said is horrible. But there are enough people that don't care.

7. I understand that. It might move some people but I think most people made up their minds already.

What he said specifically isn't going to cost him much votes (at least not in the sense that it will switch people's vote).

Assuming he really needs to be fighting for the suburban women, the "good!" that the kids can't be reunited with their parents shouldn't help that cause any.

Calling them low IQ and saying good that kids will never find their parents. New wave Hispanic voters are not gonna take that

12. It was on the question about how the trump administration has separated kids

From parents at the border and how there are over 500 kids that we have yet to reunite.

There was a bit of talk about what trump called catch and release where the Obama admin wouldn’t separate the families, let them in the country and give them a summons to appear.

Trump said those that appeared were low IQ.

But, in fact, this is true for many immigrant and minority communities. Education is the key that unlocks the door.

18. yes, but, like you said, the socially conservative streak runs through the majority of all Latinx.

Many of the most viscous racists, homophobic, misogynistic fuckers I have met in my life have been Latinx. Same for many sub-Saharan Africans (save for racism, but you can replace that with tribal hatreds). The only time in our (my wife and I) entire lives together that we were physically attacked (it ended so poorly for the fucker who did) was by a Nigerian at a super posh after hours party in Mayfair. He saw us kissing in a hall upstairs near one of the loos and went BONKERS with the anti-lesbian slurs and tried to grab me (of course he went after the fellow PoC the hardest, ffs) and toss me down the stairs, but he was off balance, and another person up there (white British bloke) came up from behind, took him down and choked him out. I do admit, to my partial shame, that I kicked him (one of the ultra rare times I have struck anyone) in the face when he was down (I had on trainers, not heels, so deffo got a good kick in). Ooopsie!
