    Two Boston brothers leaving a Red Sox game earlier this week brutally beat and urinated on a Hispanic homeless man for looking like an "illegal immigrant," authorities said.

    Scott Leader, 38, and his 30-year-old brother Steve Leader are accused of punching the 58-year-old victim and striking him with a metal pole as the man was sleeping outside of a Dorchester bus stop, Massachusetts State Police said.

    The attack was inspired by Donald Trump's incendiary remarks that dismiss most Mexican immigrants as rapists and criminals, one of the brothers reportedly told cops.

    Trump is almost never right, but he was in this instance.

    Well we can certainly see that Mr Trump has tapped into the id of today's republican party. YIKES

    But Trump's response was awesome: "My supporters are passionate."

    Does anyone else think of President Camacho and the movie "Idiocracy" when they think of Trump having a legitimate chance of winning the presidency?

    Consider this: The people that support Trump think Jimmy Carter wasn't fit to be President.

    Well Carter was a fairly awful president....so...

    There are so many better reasons to bash Trump supporters.

    Sounds like your typical northeast US racist-inspired attack. If it had happened in NYC and they were cops, they'd be given keys to the city.

    Did Trump just shoot a bald eagle just because he can?

    One is a real example of the highest aspirations for human character and one is a douchebag.

    Scholarship, commitment, service, humility, empathy, faith

    The ball has been rolling for a while. Obama pushed it forward a bit with his 2008 campaign.

    Of course... A respected law professor and U.S. senator being elected president whose wit is not limited to "He/She is an idiot" has similarities to the parody that is President Camacho because.....


    You disagree with his policies.

    And no, I don't think Bush is any way relatable to what President Camacho stood for in the movie "Idiocracy".

    JFK because he looked good on TV. Reagan because he was a known face. Clinton because he played sax on Arsenio. Obama because of his social media presence. Trump because of his reality TV domination. Has nothing to do with performance or policies.

    A Trump or Kardashian type will be elected in our lifetime and probably sooner than you think.

    EDIT: and Oprah, Obama got the Oprah vote.

    We've elected many way more horrible and dumber presidents in past centuries, this arc of long term decline you're tracing exists only in your own mind.

    I think people don't understand President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho. He was probably the smartest and most motivated guy in the country. He kept people on track and set the tone for the country. I was just commenting on popular appeal.

    The right wing entertainment media attacks Trump because he's F'n up the program and talks shyt about other republicans... And the majority of black voters just call republicans racist like the democrats tell them to do and don't consider voting for them so republicans have no incentive to cater to black folks. Also, the media is probably making more of a fuss about what Trump said than the actual people.

    But it's the left wing entertainment media who are attacking Trump the hardest because racism is a big weapon for them. That's why they let the country think that black folks are taking up all the welfare... They give a lot of attention to black people who are killed by police who committed questionable actions and or have questionable histories... And throw around miss leading employment stats. And if you noticed _ you'll see more librals protest and march for animals than they will for black folks... Lolzzzz...!!!!! The new generation hispanic population is growing and that's a huge voting base they are trying to cater to.

    And why should any black native care what anyone said about Obama when the black community has fallen further behind under his reign...???
    Watson told Newsmax: "For too long Democrats have taken their votes for granted, so what we are doing is working hard on the ground and in the community to show there is a choice and an alternative to the policies that have failed generations."
    http://www.newsmax.com/t/newsmax/article/545866

    And you're not giving black folks a good enough reason to support Trump. But, these democrats haven't given any reasons why black folks should continue to blindly support them.
