They are a rapidly growing population, so calling them rapists and threatening to deport them seems to have been a bad move.....who'd have thought it!

The mobilization of Hispanics is a huge deal in this election, and I think it'll be the reason Clinton wins. It was a big factor in Obama's 2012 victory as well

I think he was speaking specifically about the ones who come in here illegally. Not about Hispanics in general.

Does that really make a difference? It doesn't to me.

About the ones he wishes to deport, yeah.  But he didn't specify about the rapists.  He just said 

"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."

That sounds like he's referring to all Mexican immigrants, not just illegals.  And even so, are illegals more likely to be rapists and drug traders?  No.  It was a highly racist remark.  Like bafflingly so.

If Florida goes to Clinton and that seals the deal, we'll have Hispanic voters to thank for saving the U.S. as we know it from Trump and his ilk.

Good job, Donald! You're a genius, bigly!

I fucking love poetic justice.

Still objectively wrong. Like majority of the crap he spewed in the first two-thirds of his campaign. Illegal immigrants do not commit any more crimes compared to the general population. They do, however, pay more income tax than he does.

As a Hispanic myself, I personally would have been offended if he meant Hispanics in general. But I agree it's a nasty comment nonetheless.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

And the only way I can do anything effective to push towards not Trump is voting for Hillary.

My state, Texas, was leaning 12 points to Trump as of yesterday morning. A Clinton vote may as well be no vote at all, and for me, voting Lib is my way of saying, "fuck y'all, you're losing me."

Yeah, it sucks to be in hard red or hard blue states if you are not in the majority. My parents are Republicans but they live in California - their Trump vote would be as useless as yours. I'm fortunate enough to live in Virginia, where I have a hope of the state leaning democrat. Can't say I'm fond of the electoral college system that way, but getting your vote out their still matters.
