Well, to be fair, they did disapprove in a way — not because Trump believes the things he says, but because he says them so directly. (subjective)

Far too many Republicans share this kind of racism and have for a long time. Trump has just dispensed with dog whistles and revels in his bigotry instead. But this is the party the Republicans have been deliberately and assiduously building for many decades, the party of division and intolerance. George H.W. Bush’s racist tactics in 1988 against Michael Dukakis — the Willie Horton ad in particular — seem almost genteel by comparison.

Today’s Republicans have stymied every effort at reforming immigration, at achieving true equality for women, at ending the scourge of racist drug laws and criminal sentencing rules. The Republican Party has generated a wave of laws designed to make it harder for black Americans and other minorities to vote. It’s not that Republicans don’t want to deport millions of Mexicans and ban Muslims from our shores. They just don’t like to talk about it in the open.

So when Donald Trump started to attack Mexicans, Muslims and anyone else who popped into his head, Republican leaders may have thought it was bad tactics. But all that talk this year about the “Republican establishment” being aghast at Trump for his outlandish ideas was nonsense.

What really bothers Republicans is that Trump is not a member of their club and did not observe party discipline by saving his disdain for Democrats.

None of Trump’s Republican challengers, of course, had the vision, the guts or the personality to defeat him, and now it’s far too late. By the time Trump attacked Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who is hearing one of the lawsuits against Trump’s infomercial disguised as a university, the Republican leadership had long since painted itself into a corner.

Senator Mitch McConnell, the Republican majority leader, could not stir himself to call Trump’s comments racist. McConnell said on “Meet the Press” last Sunday that he did not agree with Trump that the judge should recuse himself, but that was all the interviewer could get out of what passes for a statesman in the G.O.P. these days.

Asked about one right-wing blogger who said Republicans were backing a racist candidate, McConnell simpered that what matters is winning the White House. “The right-of-center world needs to respect the fact that the primary voters have spoken,” he said.

Yes, in favour of blatant intolerance.

Paul Ryan, the speaker of the House, who practically strained his back flipping from denouncing Trump to endorsing him, said that “claiming a person can’t do their job because of their race is sort of like the textbook definition of a racist comment. I think that should be absolutely disavowed. It’s absolutely unacceptable.”

Not so unacceptable that he is withdrawing his endorsement. “I believe that we have more common ground on the policy issues of the day and we have more likelihood of getting our policies enacted with him than we do with her,” he said, referring to Hillary Clinton.

Senator Tim Scott, the highest-ranking black Republican, would not revoke his endorsement after what he called “racially toxic” comments.

What about John McCain, whom Donald Trump once mocked for getting captured and tortured by the North Vietnamese? Surely he was outraged. Nope.

One or two Republicans dissented, but most of them are on the outs with their party anyway. Bill Kristol, the neoconservative commentator who evidently loathes Trump, tweeted: “Official position of the leadership of the Republican Party: Trump is an inexcusable bigot, and Trump must be our next president.”

New York Times, Andrew Rosenthal June 8, 2016  

·        He used some lyrics includes implicit significance, that is “attack”, “dog whistles” & “racist”.

·        About two-thirds of Mexicans believed that election of Donald Trump, president of the United States would be harmful to the country.

·        Description Mexican immigrants thieves and criminals, and called for the establishment of a wall between the two countries, Mexico bear the cost of its construction.

·        Basically, Trump wants to exclude the immigrants.

·        Trump: «When people send us Mexico they do not send the best elements, but those who are asking the problem and carry with them drugs and crime. They are usurpers. »  

Fact is, the right has been a part from culture for so long, that maybe it takes a TV star to build that bridge and speak to the America currently held captive by liberal media and entertainment

 I wish he would say something deep for once about terrorism. I wish he would read more and riff less. 

 

Secondly, shame on the Republican Party for not staging an emergency intervention of some sort. Shame on Paul Ryan for getting behind him. Shame on the party establishment for getting in line. Even people in his own party, many of who have now endorsed him, called Trump a dangerous con-man as well. The Republican Party, if they had any decency whatsoever, absolutely should have found a way to render his candidacy null and void.

It is a genuine embarrassment to our nation that this man has made it into the mainstream of American politics.

Donald Trump has said repeatedly said that he would like to ban all Muslims from entering the United States.

Donald Trump has said that he would like to round up nearly 500,000 undocumented immigrants per month for two straight years until they are all gone.

It's no wonder that protesters respond with rage. It was one thing when Donald Trump has simply a candidate for the Republican nomination, but now that he is the presumptive nominee and beating Hillary Clinton in some polls, people are genuinely terrified.

That, it seems, was Emmett Rensin's point. If Donald Trump is as dangerous as we all say he is, how could we ever expect people to quietly accept him? This isn't me encouraging violence - never that.
