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

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."

The Republican Field is pretty much interchangeable when it comes to intolerance. Every single one needs someone to hate and ostracize.
