Ya know, the thing is, it really doesn't matter how you or I choose to characterize history.
You should not be characterizing history...history stands alone as the testament of what was, it is immovable, concrete, & unchangeable.
In the final analysis, what really matters is how the republican and democratic parties alike, are viewed in the context of current reality by some several million Hispanic and/or other minorities voters that are quite capable of evaluating the rhetoric for what it is and are becoming more vocal about feeling distanced from reps daily.
And that is all it is...rhetoric from a party that is bankrupt of leadership. When you speak of hispanics do you speak of those that are Americans? Or are you another that feels that any person that comes over that border should get a free ride, support, or be allowed citizenship upon entry? That my friend is cultural suicide. Not one candidate has disrespected the American hispanic, many however have taken a stand against the illegal entry of non-citizens putting an already strained social support network into dire straights. I live in California and I have many hispanic friends & coworkers and even they know that this ongoing problem with illegal immigration has to be stopped. It is the issue of our time and it needs to be addressed...not everyone that comes can or should be granted citizenship. In fact if we were good neighbors we would be pressuring our southern neighbors to politically change so their citizens don't have or want to leave.
Personally, if the conditions are right, I may well vote for "Thuh Don" in the primaries. Knowing as I do the value of wedge issues in the general election.
You just do that..you show em. How juvenile....at this point I don't think you are old enough to understand politics at all, much less a "wedge issue". Sheesh grow up!
I don't see any rep candidate that is more assured to shave voters away from or energize voters against the republican party than he.
Well for someone that cannot see you should open your eyes because Trump has been taking the popularity polls by storm. If the voters are energized against him than your theory is bogus or maybe you just hope that is what will happen...not the case so far.
Sanders presents a platform that most closely represents the Eisenhower Republican platform that got America back on it's feet after WWII.
How so? elaborate on the similarities for us.
Eisenhower was the last Republican Pres. before the southern take over of the Republican party (remember Nixon's sweep of the south?). When it WAS the party that you can only pretend it to be today.
You obviously forgot Reagan (from California) by landslide twice (including many democrats) & Bill Clinton twice from the south, carried the south, and also quite the southern racist from way back....oh I know he plays it off he's not a "good ole boy" but, his rhetoric has given him away too many times in the past. Where did you get all this southern takeover tripe anyway, one of your professors?
