'Real problem' with Republicans goes beyond Donald Trump:O'Malley

Donald Trump is "a hate-spewing character" and the rest of the GOP field isn't much better, Democratic presidential candidate Martin O'Malley said Monday.

O'Malley, the former governor of Maryland, is making immigration central to his campaign platform for the Democratic nomination. In a speech at the National Council of La Raza conference in Kansas City, Missouri, he ran through a spate of his immigration policy proposals, including creating a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.

He received particularly strong applause for going after Trump, the business mogul turned Republican presidential candidate who said during his campaign launch that Mexico is sending rapists, drug smugglers and other criminals to the U.S. Trump hasn't backed away from those comments, and told a crowd of a few thousand on Saturday that undocumented immigrants "wreak havoc on our population."

"I know that all of us here today share my disgust with the comments Donald Trump recently made," O'Malley said in his speech. "The real problem isn’t that the Republicans have such a hate-spewing character running for president -- the problem is that it’s so hard to tell him apart from many of the other candidates they have in their field."

1. Exactly

What is it now 15 republicans running, and they pretty much say the same BS over and over and over. The thing about Trump is he is saying what the others are not willing to say out loud, but they all think that way. I think O'Malley has hit on something that should be used against republicans. If they all want to use the same talking points, the same dumb ideas, then they should be lumped together and compared to say the Borg from Star Treck.
