Trump said progressive democratic women.

If trump was not referring to these 4 please let me know who he was talking about.

Are you saying trump didn’t know who he was talking about when telling congresswomen to go back to their country?(America)

Even if he didn’t his comments are racists. Because he tells minorities to go back to their country (they are worse) because they can’t govern (he his better).

It can’t be xenophobia because it is the thought that you are better based on race (go back to your country) that makes it racist.

If you say “I don’t like Muslims” that can be xenophobia. If you say “Christians are better than Muslims.” That is racism because of the qualification of superiority.

Inherently when you say you are better than minorities I don’t think it can be xenophobia because of the superiority clause.

I have no argument with what you wrote. Trump crossed a line again and his supporters love it. Pelosi can't rally the troops because she spent the week talking about how the 4 had no power. Now,when she could rally the democratic party around an issue they could all get behind, she has instead failed most miserably.

"Pelosi and this group of freshmen lawmakers have been embroiled in a dispute over the last couple weeks, although Pelosi called for unity recently among House Democrats."

Your contention is Trump believes these folks are not from the US?

While you're looking up racist look up defending too.

Yeah, like Norway.

Trumps statement in its entirety is racist. Full stop.

what everyone here new is that, somehow, you would be the *other* voice. you're not defending him! rather deflecting, creating a false equivalency, minimizing, something. anything other than just admitting what he did and what he is.

for a particular cohort it doesn't matter how much he trashes america's institutions, makes life harder for the part of the country where his base doesn't hold a majority, how much he lies, reneges on america's word, betrays alliances, stands in solidarity with the worst actors in the world, and invites incompetents and grifters into his cabinet, what he does on days like this are simply... regrettable. or, he was kidding.

if america was great, and needs to be made great again, fine. but before you remake it you need to read and understand the blueprints, according to those who built it 250 years ago. in fact, america will need to be rebuilt, after this jackwagon leaves.

Dan this may surprise you but this place skews left more than a little bit. When the dog whistle is blown the ideologues jump to attention and start baying it gets annoying to see the idiocy. I don't defend Trump. I don't like him. But what I do "attack" are the dog whistle responses. Did you read all of my posts? Where did I defend Trump or deflect or whatever euphemism you want to use? I just said the comment was not facially racist but xenophobic (although I would also accept alienist since upon reflection I think that is a more appropriate description but I have cast my die) coupled with ignorance.

All in all I see Bush II Obama and Trump about the same when examined in totality with the variance in the specific policies they had. The better thing the dog whistle responders should be asking is why is he doing this? Why is Trump creating a firestorm today? What's coming out tomorrow that he wants to blunt? The really frightening thing is the Democrats running for President don't have a plan other than free stuff and calling Trump names. How will the dog whistle responders do with another four years?

If America was great? Really? Dan if you don't beleive this Republic has not been, is, and always will be the greatest place in the world I don't know what to tell you. In aggregate this country has done more for more people than any other country ever.

You want smaller government and a strict constructionist view? I don't think you'd like the outcome for the rest of the country, but the People's Republic of California would probably be your wet dream (until it went bankrupt of course).
